GunWerk's Busy Start to 2012 Shooting Schools

GunWerks

Burlington, WY --(Ammoland.com)- We are looking forward to an exciting year! Trade shows are in full swing.

Look for us in our new booth, with all the new products!

After trade shows we move right into Shooting School training courses. We kick off in San Angelo Texas March 1st with Western Lands Outfitters. We booked two classes full, so we added another for the 5th and 6th. This year, we are adding the option to hunt one of the many exotic species available. Food and lodging is included.

The combo Shooting School/Hunt has been a very popular combination. We’ve joined forces with Cabela’s and Frontier Outfitters to offer a two day shooting school combined with a two day antelope hunt in New Mexico starting August 24 through the 27th. We will train for two days using Gunwerks shooting systems, then take the gear to the field to test your skills. For info, click here.

The most exciting Combo will be in South Africa this August with John X Safaris. Imagine an opportunity to learn from the Gunwerks crew, then spend a week on safari applying your skills on over 700,000 acres of land open to free ranging game. In between Shooting Schools, the Gunwerks crew will be filming clients for TV and DVD production (we’ll try to fit in a little hunting for ourselves!) Click Here for more information on this exciting opportunity!

Gunwerks will be traveling to Canada this spring. First to Calgary, Alberta then to Kamloops, British Columbia. Our exclusive Canadian distributor, Grouse River Outfitters, has arranged two excellent locations for our Canadian premier training events in April.

We are doing our fourth year at Western Lands Outfitter’s Ensign Ranch location in Utah near Evanston. This is our high mountain course with steep angles and tricky winds. The food is always the best, we usually put on a couple pounds!

Our last location is a new one for us. Near Flagstaff Arizona, we’ve found the perfect location for an Ultra Long Range Shooting School. In addition to our standard shooting systems, we will be shooting big guns at ranges out to 2000 yards! We will teach a special course with a focus on multiple wind calculations and other Ultra Long Range techniques.

We will also feature training courses at our location near Cody Wyoming. We offer dates every month from May through October. Spend your summer vacation in Cody and take in the sites. Tour the Gunwerks facility, and shoot on our own private range. Click Here to visit our Shooting School Page.

National Wild Turkey Federation Outdoor Event for Women – Cabela’s in Berks County PA

National Wild Turkey Federation

EDGEFIELD, S.C. --(Ammoland.com)- The Blue Mountain chapter of the National Wild Turkey Federation will host a Women in the Outdoors event on March 10, 2012 at Cabela’s in Hamburg, PA.

Pre-registration is required for this event. Registration can be done by going to www.womenintheoutdoors.org, and then clicking on “PA WITO Event Manager Calendar” and then searching the calendar.

A beneficial partnership between the National Wild Turkey Federation and the Pennsylvania Game Commission helps provide outdoor opportunities such as this to women in the Keystone State. The Pennsylvania Game Commission recognizes a high interest level in the outdoors among women in the state and wants to provide more opportunities to enjoy the outdoor lifestyle.

Since 1998, the NWTF’s Women in the Outdoors program has organized events designed especially for women. By providing expert instruction and hands-on education, the NWTF helps members develop outdoor skills and emphasizes the importance of wildlife management and the role of hunters in conservation.

“Our program is about encouraging women to try new outdoor activities in a safe environment that makes them feel at ease,” said Brenda Valentine, NWTF Spokeswoman, First Lady of Hunting and host of the NWTF’s “Turkey Call” TV show airing on Pursuit Channel, and Bass Pro Shops’ “Real Hunting” TV show.

“This event is also an opportunity for women of all walks of life – singles, moms, daughters, young and old – to spend a day outdoors, away from home, having fun and making new friends.”

The combination of sponsorship, such as the Game Commission and local chapter support, allows the NWTF to offer these programs at a low cost to participants. The cost of attending each event includes a subscription to Turkey Country, the NWTF’s full-color publication. Turkey County includes stories about the Women in the Outdoors, JAKES (Juniors Acquiring Knowledge, Ethics and Sportsmanship), Wheelin’ Sportsmen, NWTF outreach programs, conservation issues, turkey calling and hunting, education programs and much more.

“The Women in the Outdoors program allows the NWTF to reach an entirely new audience, one that has the potential to benefit conservation efforts,” Valentine said. “It’s an opportunity for women to find great satisfaction and enjoyment in the outdoors.”

About the NWTF:
The National Wild Turkey Federation is a nonprofit conservation organization that works daily to further its mission of conserving the wild turkey and preserving our hunting heritage.

Through dynamic partnerships with state, federal and provincial wildlife agencies, the NWTF and its members have helped restore wild turkey populations across the country, spending more than $331 million to conserve 15.9 million acres of habitat for all types of wildlife.

The NWTF works to increase interest in the outdoors by bringing new hunters and conservationists into the fold through outdoor education events and its outreach programs – Women in the Outdoors, Wheelin’ Sportsmen, JAKES and Xtreme JAKES.

The NWTF was founded in 1973 and is headquartered in Edgefield, S.C. According to many state and federal agencies, the restoration of the wild turkey is arguably the greatest conservation success story in North America’s wildlife history. To learn more, visit www.nwtf.org or call (800) THE-NWTF.
