The National Wild Turkey Federation (NWTF) received the highly coveted Winchester Legend Award during its 50th Convention and Sport Show held in Nashville, Tennessee. Winchester Ammunition presented the award at the Winchester-NWTF Veterans Breakfast, and NWTF Board of Directors Chairman Bryan Perry accepted the award on behalf of the organization.
"It is an honor to have Winchester recognize the NWTF for the decades of delivering on our mission to conserve the wild turkey and preserve our hunting heritage," said Perry. "Though I am accepting this award on behalf of the NWTF, this is an award that is shared by all of the numerous volunteers, members, partners and staff who work day in and day out to leave this world a better place for future generations and continue to bring people together through the life-changing power of the outdoors."
The Winchester Legend Award recognizes individuals and organizations that have made a positive impact in the hunting and shooting sports community, while also representing the Winchester brand at the highest level.
"Winchester honors the NWTF with this prestigious award for their decades of commitment to conservation, the shooting sports and hunting traditions," said Jason Gilbertson, Senior Director of Marketing for Winchester Ammunition. "As the first million-dollar sponsor of the NWTF, Winchester has supported the NWTF since the very beginning. To deliver this award at the 50th Convention and Sport Show demonstrates a longstanding alignment that has positively impacted hunters and sport shooters throughout the United States."
Winchester Ammunition had a major presence once again at the NWTF Convention and Sport Show selling its full lineup of Long Beard XR and Long Beard Tungsten turkey loads in Turkey Shoppe, as well as showcasing key new products, including Supreme Long Range and the USA 250th Commemorative Ammunition Series. Winchester also headlined the Veterans Breakfast, which pays tribute to both active and former military service members as well as their families.
