$50,000 Awarded In Random Scholarships by NASP

NASP® Awards over $50,000 in Random Scholarships during the 2022 National Tournament Season

The National Archery in the School Program finished the 2022 National Tournament season with the completion of Western National, Eastern National, and Open Championship tournaments. The combined participation exceeded 16,000 student archers submitting scores. Thanks in part to the generosity of many of its wonderful sponsors, NASP® was able to award $50,500 in random scholarships to over 100 National-level tournament participants.

NASP® believes every student benefits from consideration of their post-secondary education options. Having the opportunity to begin to think about that additional education attainment, is important for their future. The random scholarship awarding process was designed to inspire awarded students to consider their options after graduation by planting that “educational seed” and assisting students with their post-secondary educational expenses.

Cy and Wendy Early, parents of an Academic Archer random scholarship recipient, shared “Receiving this scholarship was not only a blessing, but a pleasant surprise. As he enters his senior year, this scholarship has given him a jumpstart in his college interest. We greatly appreciate this opportunity.”

Koen Rauls, a student from New Tech Institute, was chosen for one of the random $500 awards and said, “I never expected to be chosen for a scholarship, and I feel like this is an opportunity to help with my radio and broadcasting career dreams. This will help me get started on my journey after high school.” Read more

Centerpoint Hornet Crossbow

This Little Devil Is No Kid’s Toy

SUPERIOR, WISCONSIN —The CenterPoint Hornet is an accurate, target-piercing powerhouse crossbow that’s unlike anything else in our lineup. This little devil puts one hell of a punch in your palm, firing at 191 feet-per-second with an 80-pound draw weight, which is plenty of power to pummel targets or to rid your property of pests.

The Hornet once again gives the CenterPoint crew something to celebrate, making backyard crossbow action more accessible. This model is lighter—only 2.32 pounds—which makes it perfect for recreational shooting and teaching new users. While the Hornet is lighter and more compact, it is not a toy for kids—this is a real-deal crossbow. Break-barrel-style cocking with integrated hooks results in effortless draw.

The Hornet comes with a reflex red dot sight, ambidextrous safety, three 6-inch aluminum Stinger bolts, and a bow stringer. It is available and shipping now at centerpointarchery.com. It comes in stealth black for a MSRP of $89.99. Read more

Pope and Young Introduces Kevin Hisey Youth Program

New Program Honors Former Executive Director Kevin Hisey

August 9th, 2022 – Pope and Young, America’s leading bowhunting conservation organization is excited to announce the development of the Kevin Hisey Youth Program. These programs are designed to increase opportunities for youth within Pope and Young and their conservation efforts focused on preserving, promoting, and protecting the sport of bowhunting.

Pope & Young is dedicated to promoting the sport of bowhunting with today’s youth through outreach programs, the Junior Outdoors Program, and the Youth Bowhunting Awards. The goal of all these initiatives is to expose young hunters to the joys of fair chase bowhunting, with the hope of creating bowhunters for life.

The Kevin Hisey Youth Program is named in honor of Kevin Hisey a highly respected employee of Pope & Young since 1992, and former Executive Director for 15 years, the longest tenure in that role in Pope & Young’s history. Kevin who had an unapparelled passion for bowhunting and youth participation passed away in 2015.

“Kevin was a passionate bowhunter and conservationist, dedicated to preserving the history and heritage of bowhunting, and promoting the ethics of fair chase,” stated Kurt Ebers, President of Pope & Young. “He was an Official Measurer, Senior Member of the Pope & Young Club, and was always involved in the organization’s youth activities, and we couldn’t be prouder to name the Youth Program in his honor.”

The newly developed Junior Outdoors Program is possible through partnerships with private donors, and awards big game hunts, and other prize packages to Pope & Young Youth members on an annual basis.

Like their adult counterparts, Pope & Young Youth members are eligible for their own awards program via the Youth Bowhunting Awards. Three bowhunting awards were created specifically for Youth members, First Harvest, Youth Big 3 and Small Game Slam.

“There are tons of reasons why a youth hunter should join the Pope & Young, and be active,” said Ricky Krueger, Pope & Young Youth Director. “They’ll be in great company to advance their bowhunting skills and interact with other youth bowhunters from all over North America.”
