Posted on: May 10, 2023
RAPID CITY, SD (May 10, 2023) –National Bowhunter Education Foundation (NBEF) sponsored Pope & Young Club’s 33rd Biennial Convention in Reno, NV. This event offers an opportunity to celebrate the past and look forward to future hunting experiences while networking and sharing information with fellow bowhunters. NBEF sponsored a luncheon for the attendees and a breakfast for the measurers.
“NBEF understands the importance of growing the sport of bowhunting through a two-pronged approach. We work with organizations that can help us introduce the sport to newcomers as well as organizations like Pope & Young that have a highly engaged group of experienced bowhunters,” said NBEF Executive Director Marilyn Bentz. “The Pope & Young convention is a great gathering for sharing information, recognizing those that have made significant contributions to the sport, and planning for the future of bowhunting.”
“Pope & Young appreciates the ongoing support from NBEF,” explained Pope & Young Club Executive Director Jason Rounsaville. “Promoting bowhunting and protecting the future of the sport are important to both of our organizations.”
NBEF offers bowhunting instructional items, books, videos, 3-D models, apparel and more at nbef.org.
