title="AmmoLand Reports" href="http://www.ammoland.com/" target="_self">Ammoland.com</a>)-  Bob Lepor, National Sporting Clays Association Past Chairman and Hall of Famer, has achieved a milestone that has never before been accomplished in sporting clays: He shot his 200,000th lifetime NSCA-registered target.</p><p>Bob crashed the 200,000-plus marker while shooting The Homestead Cup in May.</p><p>In three separate years, Lepor has topped the 20,000-target mark, with his most prolific year in 1998 when he shot an amazing 31,650 targets.</p><p>That meant shooting tournaments every weekend except Mother&#8217;s Day. Not surprisingly, in a number of years, he has won NSCA&#8217;s High Volume award for most targets shot. He has shot 14 consecutive National Championships, starting in 1997.<br
/> Bob Lepor &#8211; 200k Targets</p><p>Lepor is a seven-time NSCA All-American and in 2009 was inducted into the NSCA Hall of Fame as the Hal DuPont Service Award recipient. He has served the association on the Advisory Council since 2000, as Executive Committee Vice-Chairman in 2004-2005, as EC Chairman in 2006-2009, and as Past Chairman in 2010 and 2011.</p><p>Bob&#8217;s record journey began on March 14, 1994, when he joined NSCA. He shot 1000 registered targets the first year but quickly increased his pace after a serious illness in 1995 prompted him to shoot as part of his rehabilitation. &#8220;It wasn&#8217;t about shooting a big number, but rebuilding my stamina and upper body strength,&#8221; said Lepor. &#8220;The more I shot, the stronger I got.&#8221; He worked his way from E Class to Master Class, which he achieved on September 30, 2001.</p><div

class="wp-caption-text">Bob Lepor, Elizabeth Carbone, and Walt Marvel, manager of Owens Station Sporting Clays, where Bob reached the 100,000-target mark.</p></div><p>He reached 100,000 targets in August 2000 at Owens Station Sporting Clays while shooting with his granddaughter, Elizabeth Carbone. When he reached 200,000-plus last month at The Homestead Cup, Elizabeth was again on his squad demonstrating some family talent for the game, placing as Lady Runner-up while shooting her first tournament in seven years.<br
/> Bob Lepor &#8211; 100k Targets</p><blockquote><p>&#8220;It is wonderful that Bob has been able to share his incredible achievements with his granddaughter,&#8221; said Robert Crow, NSCA Director. &#8220;I can remember back in the 1990s watching Bob teach Elizabeth how to shoot. There wasn&#8217;t a squad on the course that was having more fun than theirs! Sporting clays has evolved into a great family sport that leaves incredible memories like this.&#8221;</p></blockquote><p>Lepor is known not only for his annual high-volume shooting and entering many tournaments, but for his endurance and shooting as many targets as possible at tournaments. He once shot 1050 targets in one day, a feat that took him only five hours.</p><blockquote><p>&#8220;In the past when I would shoot tournaments, I got there early and shot every event,&#8221; said Lepor. &#8220;I tried to shoot every course through twice instead of once. Still, during the National Championship, I&#8217;ll shoot 1000 targets.&#8221;</p></blockquote><p>Remarkably, all of Lepor&#8217;s second 100,000 targets were shot at tournaments. &#8220;In the early years, I used to do some league shooting, but now everything is in tournaments,&#8221; he said.</p><p>According to Crow, not only is Lepor&#8217;s accomplishment a first for NSCA, but the next-highest volume shooter is more than 50,000 targets away.</p><p>Lepor wouldn&#8217;t commit to the quarter-million mark. &#8220;I don&#8217;t know about 250,000,&#8221; he replied. &#8220;We&#8217;ll let that run its own course. We&#8217;ll see.&#8221;</p><p>Robert Crow expressed appreciation to Lepor on behalf of the assocation. &#8220;Hall of Famer Bob Lepor has volunteered countless hours to the NSCA to better the game of sporting clays,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Bob&#8217;s dedication to the sport is visible to the membership and is greatly appreciated! Thank you, Bob, for 18 wonderful years in sporting clays, and here&#8217;s to many, many more!&#8221;</p><p><strong>About NSCA</strong><br

class="wp-caption-text">Arizona Game and Fish Department</p></div><p><strong>PHOENIX, AZ -</strong> -(AmmoLand.com)-  The Arizona Outdoor Hall of Fame class of 2009 will induct two individuals and two groups whose contributions and service have benefited Arizona’s wildlife, habitats and outdoor heritage.</p><p>The new inductees, who will be honored Friday, Aug. 21, at the Wildlife for Tomorrow Foundation’s Arizona Outdoor Hall of Fame banquet at the Scottsdale Resort and Conference Center, 7700 E. McCormick Parkway in Scottsdale, are:</p><p><strong>Dr. Robert Ohmart. </strong>During a long and distinguished career as a zoology professor at Arizona State University, Dr. Ohmart enthusiastically taught undergraduates and coached more than 40 graduate students in an array of studies ranging from raptors to tortoises and bighorns to burros, as well as the habitats they required. His pioneering work on restoring riparian vegetation along the lower Colorado River contributed significant insights into the complexity of Southwestern riparian systems.</p><p><strong>Frances Werner.</strong> The first woman appointed to serve on the Arizona Game and Fish Commission (appointed by then-Governor Bruce Babbitt), Ms. Werner has long been a strong advocate for cooperation between governmental agencies, the public, and the various resource users, She has served on many boards and committees of wildlife and land management agencies, including Arizona Game and Fish, the Bureau of Land Management and the Arizona State Land Department.</p><p><strong>Mesa Hunter Education Instructor Team.</strong> Started in 1974, this program has been dedicated to meeting the hunter education needs of residents in the East Valley for 35 years. The program has been coordinated by a total of four chief instructors since that time and currently has 55 active instructors who graduate about 10 percent of all of the state’s hunter education graduates. Since 1996, the team has accumulated over 29,000 volunteer hours teaching hunter education to more than 5,400 students.</p><p><strong>Yuma Valley Rod and Gun Club.</strong> Started in 1936, the club has expanded into a vibrant and energetic family organization of more than 300 members dedicated to supporting the enhancement and protection of wildlife, habitat, wildlife-dependent outdoors recreation, and public vehicular access on public lands. Since the 1960s, volunteers have taught hunter education and firearms safety to thousands of youth and adults. Club members also volunteer their time and efforts to numerous habitat improvement projects, conduct wildlife and outdoor recreation-related events, and are politically active.</p><p>The Arizona Outdoor Hall of Fame was established in 1998 by the Wildlife For Tomorrow Foundation to honor those who have made significant contributions to Arizona’s wildlife, the welfare of its natural resources, and the state’s outdoor heritage. Selections for induction are made each year by the board of directors of the Wildlife For Tomorrow Foundation from a list of nominations submitted.</p><p>The Aug. 21 banquet starts with a social hour at 6 p.m., followed by dinner and the awards ceremony.

class="wp-caption-text">Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation</p></div><p><strong>MISSOULA, Mont.—</strong> -(AmmoLand.com)-  Longtime volunteer leaders and supporters of the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation, Bert and Cheryl Haralson of Augusta, Ark., have been selected as 2009 inductees to the Arkansas Outdoor Hall of Fame.</p><p>The husband-and-wife team will be recognized at the 2009 Outdoor Hall of Fame banquet and ceremony on Sept. 11 at the Statehouse Convention Center in Little Rock.</p><p>The Haralsons’ selection was based in their deep involvement in elk conservation in Arkansas. They are key figures in cooperative planning and implementation of elk habitat programs along the Buffalo River. Perhaps the finest measure of their success lies in the fact that in 1998, their state held its first elk hunt since before the Civil War. Since then, many have enjoyed the privilege of hunting elk on public land in the hills of Arkansas.</p><blockquote><p>“We view this induction into the Arkansas Outdoor Hall of Fame as an award for RMEF as well as ourselves. Certainly our work with RMEF is the cornerstone of our conservation efforts, although we are pleased to have permanently protected critical waterfowl habitat in Arkansas, too, which may be why my license plate reads, ‘ELKNDUX,’” said Cheryl.</p></blockquote><p>Bert and Cheryl, who farm in Arkansas, believe their passion for land stewardship is fundamentally rooted in their dependence on the land for their livelihood.</p><p>Bert explained, “Good farmers must first be good land stewards. Farmers have always known that if you take care of the land, the land will take care of you. This is a basic truth for crop production but it holds true for wildlife, too.”</p><p>Their passion for elk also has helped the Haralsons influence conservation nationwide via service on the Elk Foundation’s board of directors and many volunteer committees. They have raised and contributed vital funding, donated conservation easements and received the Elk Foundation’s highest honor, the Wallace Fennell Pate Wildlife Conservation Award, which honors contributions of lasting significance to the benefit of elk, other wildlife and their habitat across North America.</p><blockquote><p>“Bert and Cheryl’s worth to the Elk Foundation goes far beyond the obvious and visible. I personally consult with them often and rely on their volunteer perspectives on many organizational issues. They are invaluable, great people who really deserve this special honor in their home state,” said David Allen, RMEF president and CEO.</p></blockquote><p>The Arkansas Outdoor Hall of Fame began in 1992 as a project of the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission, Arkansas Game and Fish Foundation and Ducks Unlimited to recognize Arkansans’ achievements in outdoor fields and to protect wildlife habitat.</p><p><strong>About the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation:</strong><br
/> Snowy peaks, dark timber basins and grassy meadows. RMEF is leading an elk country initiative that has conserved or enhanced habitat on over 5.5 million acres—a land area equivalent to a swath three miles wide and stretching along the entire Continental Divide from Canada to Mexico. RMEF also works to open, secure and improve public access for hunting, fishing and other recreation. Get involved at www.rmef.org or 800-CALL ELK.</p>Tags: <a

/> <em>World Renowned Hunter And Activist Ted Nugent To Be Inducted Into  The National Bowhunters Hall Of Fame  February 6  In Las Vegas, Nevada.</em></p><p><strong>Squaw Valley, CA -</strong> -(AmmoLand.com)- The National Bowhunters Hall of Fame is proud to announce TED NUGENT as their most recent inductee. The induction will take place February 6 in Las Vegas, NV as part of the National Field Archery Association&#8217;s World Archery Festival at the Riviera Hotel.  NUGENT will be honored in two categories:  Excellence in Bowhunting, as well as Literary Excellence. These categories acknowledge NUGENT&#8217;s widely acclaimed skills as an outdoorsman, and his promotion of bowhunting on an international level via his best-selling books and popular writings.</p><p>NUGENT began bowhunting around 1956&#8211;approximately the same time he picked up his first guitar. Nugent has gone on to wildly successful careers in the two seemingly disparate fields. But it makes perfect sense to TED.  He explains, &#8220;I started twanging the one-string ‘bout the same time as the 6-string.  There was some sort of bow &amp; arrow in my hands as young as six or seven, I&#8217;m sure. Got my first guitar around the same time and both have remained my favorite weapons to date!&#8221;</p><p>The induction marks the pinnacle of recognition for NUGENT as a bona fide Bowhunting Legend of the 21st Century according to the NBHF.</p><blockquote><p>&#8220;Ted has done more to promote archery in the last 20 years in all media than any other person,&#8221; states Terry Martin of Martin Archery. &#8220;We are so fortunate to have Ted and his wife Shemane in our sport. Ted has taken on some of the toughest critics in the world. Where he gets all the energy we will never know.&#8221;</p></blockquote><p>NUGENT has sold in excess of 35 million albums; produces and stars in the award-winning Ted Nugent Spirit of the Wild TV show; is a New York Times best seller, (TED, WHITE, AND BLUE: THE NUGENT MANIFESTO entered the Top 10 at #8 in October 2008);and continues to set attendance records at concert venues around the globe.</p><blockquote><p>&#8220;The future of the shooting sports in this country is in the hands of tomorrow&#8217;s outdoorsmen and women,&#8221; TED says.  &#8220;The youth of America must be educated to the wholesome and valued world of hunting and conservation. Because rock &#8216;n roll plays such a pivotal role in a young person&#8217;s life, I will share my wonderful lifestyle and experiences with them.&#8221;</p></blockquote><p><strong>About:</strong></p><p>National Bowhunter Hall of Fame official website.
