Whitetails Unlimited Commits $27,000 To Safe Shooting Initiative
  |
Whitetails Unlimited has committed $27,000 to a Safe Shooting Initiative which will begin July, 1 2019. The initiative will utilize 1,500 Walker’s Combo Shooting Packs, which is comprised of a set Walker’s ear and eye protection. Each of WTU’s 475 events will receive 3 complimentary combo packs which will be given away to attendees to create awareness. In addition to the combo packs, educational posters will be created as well as a 2 page narrative in WTU’s Event Annual which will be distributed to more than 130,000 people annually.
The Safe Shooting Initiative is capitalizing off the momentum gained the last two years from the Treestand Safety Initiative Whitetails Unlimited has featured. In each of the last two years WTU has brought awareness to treestand safety with the initiative that highlighted the importance of using a safety line and a full-body harness. Whitetails Unlimited plans to continue to promote new initiatives in the future.
“We are switching gears on this safety promotion and focusing mainly on ear and eye protection,” says Whitetails Unlimited Program Services Director Russ Austad. “We are extremely excited and believe this initiative will be well received by our attendees.”
