“archery equipment”

Buck hunting is hot in the early season—in more ways than one. Here are five destinations that are primed for early-season action.

Ron Shaulis of West Newton, Pa., took the new Pennsylvania state typical archery record buck on Oct. 24, 2017, with a compound bow on public land in Westmoreland County.

When Kansas bowhunter Brian Butcher arrowed a whitetail in Chase County last October, it was immediately obvious it was something special.

A possible new archery world record desert bighorn sheep was taken recently in—of all places—southern California. On December 20, 2011, Brett Scott arrowed a ram that green scores 180 7/8 inches on the Pope and Young measurement system. The horns measure 35 1/2 and 37 inches in length with 16 1/2-inch bases. If, after the 60-day mandatory drying period, the horn shrinkage is less than an inch, Scott’s ram will be a new world record for archery desert bighorn.

Governor Glenn Youngkin has signed Senate Bill 8, to allow Sunday hunting on public lands. It will go into effect on July 1, 2022.

The Bass Pro Shops and Cabela’s Outdoor Fund is proud to award a $100,000 grant to the National Archery in the School Program (NASP).

Your National Rifle Association is pleased to announce its free online Hunter Education Course has raised more than $150,000 for state wildlife agencies in matching Pittman-Robertson (P-R) funds.

The NRA kicked off the 2022 Great American Outdoor Show with a ribbon-cutting ceremony Friday night at the Pennsylvania Farm Show Complex in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.

Over 165,000 people made the trip to Harrisburg for GAOS, and local officials estimate that the show contributes $75 million to the local economy each year.
