Xpedition Archery Pledges Support For the Pope and Young

Chatfield, MN - The Pope and Young Club is proud to announce the support of Xpedition Archery through the Club's Corporate Partner Program. Through this partnership, Xpedition has shown their strong commitment to wildlife conservation, the protection, and defense of our bowhunting heritage and fair-chase ethics.

The Pope and Young Club's Corporate Partner Program allows manufacturers the opportunity to partner with the Club to help protect and defend bowhunting, promote fair-chase and increase engagement with North American conservation efforts. The Pope and Young Club has given over one million dollars to conservation programs across North America. These programs include Farmers and Hunters Feeding the Hungry, National Wildlife Federation Howe Peak/Deadman Sheep Endowment Fund, Jack Creek Preserve Foundation, the Bitterroot Elk Project, Congressional Sportsmen's Foundation, American Wildlife Conservation Partners, Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies, Orion-The Hunters Institute, National Conservation Leadership Institute, National Bowhunter Education Foundation, U.S. Sportsmen's Alliance, National Archery in the Schools Program, Scholastic 3-D Archery and Raised At Full Draw Camps.

"Like many, my view of the Pope and Young Club was one of its role as a Recordkeeping institution," says Blake Davis, Sales Manager for Xpedition Archery. "After talking with members during the Pope and Young Club Rendezvous in Poynette Wisconsin in 2016, it was apparent that I had a lot to learn about Pope and Young as a CONSERVATION organization. The Pope and Young membership and administrative personnel are one of the most unified voices in Conservation. They work tirelessly to preserve the bowhunting and archery lifestyles we all enjoy. Their commitment to saving public land, hunter access, and portraying the bowhunter as a positive influence, is unparalleled. The fact that they are a dedicated group of bowhunters makes our support a necessity, both personally and professionally. Xpedition Archery is proud to support the Pope and Young Club, its members, and future members to help continue their excellent work of preserving our bowhunting heritage."

The Pope and Young Club's focus on developing young bowhunters to protect the future of bowhunting is evident in their support for programs such as National Archery in the Schools Program (NASP), National Bowhunter Education Foundation (NBEF), Raised At Full Draw Bowhunting Camps (RAFD) and Scholastic 3-D Archery (S3DA).
