Pope and Young Club Continues to Support Sportsmen's Alliance

Chatfield, MN - January 20, 2016 - The Pope and Young Club is proud to continue its support for the Sportsmen's Alliance through the Club's Education and Outreach Fund.

"On behalf of the Sportsmen's Alliance I would like to personally thank both the leadership and members of the Pope and Young Club for continued backing of the vital work we perform on behalf of sportsmen and women across the United States," says Nick Pinizzotto, President and CEO of the Sportsmen's Alliance. "The Pope and Young Club's continued support provides a direct investment that defends our heritage against growing anti-hunting threats."

The Pope and Young Club's Conservation efforts include wildlife research, education, pro-bowhunting activities, partnerships, wildlife conservation projects and kids programs. The stated mission is to protect the future of our bowhunting heritage and promote the conservation and welfare of habitat and wildlife.

Jack Frost, Conservation Chairman for the Pope and Young Club states, "The Pope and Young Club has had close ties to the Sportsmen's Alliance for many years. In addition to their leadership in protecting and enhancing the rights of hunters, anglers and trappers, the Sportsmen's Alliance is a key organization combating anti-hunting and extreme animal rights groups. One of the first organizations to receive support through the Pope and Young Conservation, Education and Outreach Fund, the Sportsmen's Alliance continues to be a strong advocate for bowhunters and bowhunting."

The Pope and Young Club is a non-profit North American conservation and bowhunting organization dedicated to the promotion and protection of our bowhunting heritage, hunting ethics and wildlife conservation. The Club also maintains the universally recognized repository for the records and statistics on North American big game animals harvested with a bow and arrow.
