Trailblazer Adventure Program Tops Quarter Million In Attendence





(Columbus) – The U.S. Sportsmen’s Alliance Trailblazer Adventure Program recently topped the 250,000 attendee milestone.

In a five-year period, Trailblazer, the largest scale outdoors youth outreach program of its kind, has grown from one event in 2001 to 32 events already held in 2006. Forty-one events are still to come around the country during the remainder of the year.

Attendees of Trailblazer Adventure Days are given the chance to experience, many for the first time, archery, shotgun shooting and rifle shooting and fishing, while receiving instruction on the importance of trapping to conservation and numerous other outdoors related skills and activities. They also learn about the rich heritage of hunting in the United States, from fox hunting on horseback to the challenges of predator calling and turkey hunting.

The Trailblazer Adventure Program is possible through a partnership of sportsmen’s groups, sporting retailers and other organizations which recognize the significance of the work Trailblazer is doing. Without these partnerships, Trailblazer would not be able to reach the broad audience it has reached in just five years. National sponsors include the National Shooting Sports Foundation, Cabela’s, The Outdoor Channel, Boy Scouts of America, National Wild Turkey Federation, the U.S. Army, the Masters of the Foxhounds Association of America, Fur Takers of America, Girl Scouts of America, Boys and Girls Club, Girls Inc., the Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies as well as several local and state department of natural resources and state game agencies.

“Our national partners realize that the young people attending Trailblazer programs today are the sportsmen of tomorrow,” said Bud Pidgeon, President of the U.S. Sportsmen’s Alliance. “Our future is in the hands of these young people. We need to get the bows, fishing poles and shotguns in those same hands now to assure the future of America’s outdoors heritage.”
