Bowtech Archery continued its momentum on the 2026 ASA Pro/Am circuit this past weekend in Metropolis, Illinois, as Team Bowtech professional shooters battled challenging weather conditions to deliver two standout podium performances.

Paige Pearce claimed the top spot in the Women’s Known Pro division, adding another ASA victory to her impressive 2026 season. Pearce delivered a composed, consistent performance throughout the weekend, securing first place against one of the deepest fields in professional archery.

In the Senior Known Pro division, Tim Gillingham earned a third-place finish, marking his second consecutive podium since returning to Team Bowtech. The back-to-back podium appearances reinforce Gillingham’s immediate impact after rejoining the Bowtech roster and highlight the consistency that has made him one of the sport’s most accomplished competitors.

“Watching Paige and Tim perform at this level is exactly what Team Bowtech is built around,” said Todd Snader, Director of Marketing for Bowtech. “Paige continues to prove why she’s one of the most dominant competitors in professional archery, and seeing Tim return to Bowtech and immediately put together back-to-back podium finishes says everything about the shooter he is. Our goal has always been to build equipment that performs when the pressure is highest, and it’s rewarding to see that performance validated on one of the biggest stages in competitive archery.”

The results continue a strong season for Team Bowtech as the ASA tour heads into its final stretch. With athletes competing at the highest level, Bowtech remains committed to delivering equipment engineered for repeatable accuracy, confidence, and championship-level performance.

Success in the fall often begins months before a hunter ever climbs into a stand. Habitat improvements, trail camera surveys, food sources, and mineral sites all play a role in understanding the deer that call a property home. While every piece of the puzzle matters, a productive mineral site can become one of the most valuable tools for monitoring and managing a healthy herd.

That’s where Rack RX 365 Deer Mineral is beginning to stand out.

Across the country, hunters are sharing stories of active mineral sites that seem to come alive almost as soon as the product hits the ground. Establishing a new mineral location can sometimes take time, but many Rack RX 365 users report seeing consistent deer activity far sooner than expected. Those early visits often turn into regular patterns, creating dependable locations for trail camera photos and herd observation.

For bowhunters, that information is invaluable. Watching bucks develop through the summer, identifying travel routes, and tracking the growth of young deer all help paint a clearer picture of the season ahead. A well-placed mineral site offers more than great trail camera images—it provides insight into the health and makeup of the local deer population.

Nutrition is another important piece of effective wildlife management. Throughout the year, whitetails face changing nutritional demands, from recovering after winter to supporting antler development and raising healthy fawns. While natural forage remains their primary food source, providing supplemental minerals can complement an overall management program and encourage deer to return to areas where their progress can be monitored over time.

One reason Rack RX 365 continues to gain attention is its performance in a wide variety of environments. Hunters managing agricultural fields, hardwood forests, pine plantations, and mixed habitats have all reported encouraging results. That versatility makes it a practical option whether you’re maintaining an established property or improving a new hunting lease.

Perhaps the strongest endorsement comes from the people using it. Hunters continue to describe heavy deer activity at their mineral sites, with repeat visits becoming the norm rather than the exception. That kind of consistent feedback is helping Rack RX 365 build a loyal following among land managers and bowhunters who want to invest in both the present and future of their deer herd.

Whether your goal is capturing more trail camera photos, learning more about the deer on your property, or supporting a long-term management strategy, a dependable mineral program deserves a place in your offseason plans. Rack RX 365 is proving that sometimes the smallest improvements made months before the opener can make the biggest difference when the moment of truth finally arrives.

Moments ago, the House Natural Resources Committee passed the America the Beautiful Act, which was formerly known as the Great American Outdoors Act 250, on a voice vote, a sign of the widespread support for this bill. This legislation was spearheaded through the Committee by the bill sponsors and leaders of the House Natural Resources Committee, Chairman Bruce Westerman, Co-Chair of the Congressional Sportsmen’s Caucus (CSC), and CSC Member and Ranking Member Jared Huffman.

This legislation, a top priority for CSF, seeks to reauthorize the Legacy Restoration Fund to provide much-needed financial resources to restore the degraded infrastructure on federal public lands. Despite the criticality and unmatched support for our federal public lands, these lands and waters continue to face a significant backlog of deferred maintenance that has the potential to threaten access for sportsmen and women. This legislation will help turn the corner on this issue and improve opportunities to further enjoy our federal lands.

“CSF thanks Chairman Westerman, Ranking Member Huffman, and the dozens of other Congressional Sportsmen’s Caucus Members who sponsored this bill for their continued commitment to America’s sportsmen and women and federal public lands through the America the Beautiful Act,” said CSF Senior Vice President Taylor Schmitz. “The passage of this legislation is a direct result of their commitments to work in a collaborative, bipartisan manner to craft a piece of legislation that is critical to all Americans who enjoy federal public lands.”

This bill, as passed by the Committee, also makes important modifications to the Legacy Restoration Fund, including directives that will help improve access opportunities specifically for sportsmen and women that utilize lands and waters managed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, such as the National Wildlife Refuge System. This language will ensure that projects within the Refuge System fund projects such as water control structures that are critical to sustaining waterfowl populations and fish, among others, that simultaneously support access for hunters and anglers. CSF strongly supports this change, and we are grateful for its inclusion.

Just last week, the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee passed its version of the America the Beautiful Act. Both the House and Senate versions now await floor consideration in their respective chambers.

Grant Advances Federal and State Wildlife Policy, Theodore Roosevelt Memorial Ranch Education Programs, and Implementation of Landmark Poach and Pay Research

MISSOULA, Mont. — Bass Pro Shops and Cabela’s Outdoor Fund has renewed its support as a Diamond level Trailblazer in Conservation partner of the Boone and Crockett Club with a $120,000 grant for 2026. The funding will advance three priorities: federal and state conservation policy leadership, conservation education programs at the Theodore Roosevelt Memorial Ranch, and the implementation phase of the Club’s landmark Poach and Pay Project. The renewal reflects the Outdoor Fund’s sustained commitment to protecting North America’s wildlife heritage and the ethical hunting traditions that surround it.

“The Bass Pro Shops and Cabela’s Outdoor Fund has been one of the Club’s most steadfast partners in conservation, and this renewal reflects a shared belief that the work we’re doing right now matters deeply,” said Tony A. Schoonen, Chief Executive Officer of the Boone and Crockett Club. “With their continued support, we are able to advance conservation policy in Washington and state capitals, connect young people to the land at the Theodore Roosevelt Memorial Ranch, and move our Poach and Pay research into action. All of this is implementing real solutions that protect our wildlife and defend the reputation of ethical hunters across the country.”

The grant provides $85,000 in conservation policy funding to support the Club’s leadership across several high-priority federal and state issues. For 2026, this will include active habitat management and wildfire risk reduction, big game migration corridor conservation under Secretarial Order 3362, Chronic Wasting Disease research and management, and the Club’s coordination role within the American Wildlife Conservation Partners (AWCP), a consortium of 50 leading hunting-conservation organizations. The Club will also educate members of Congress, congressional staff, and federal agency leaders on policy priorities and will host targeted policy briefings in Washington, D.C., and other strategic locations.

“We are proud to continue our support of the Boone and Crockett Club and we’re grateful to our generous customers who make the Outdoor Fund possible and help support conservation efforts like this,” said Johnny Morris, noted conservationist and founder of Bass Pro Shops.

The Outdoor Fund’s support has helped build first-class conservation education programs at the Club’s 6,000-acre Theodore Roosevelt Memorial Ranch on the Rocky Mountain Front of Montana. The $35,000 in 2026, will support enhancing hands-on facilities and equipment at the ranch, expanding conservation education through science and technology platforms, including trail-camera libraries, podcasts, and online learning tools, and increasing youth engagement through outdoor experiences.

The additional $20,000 dedicated to the Club’s Poach and Pay Project comes at a pivotal moment for the initiative. In September 2025, the Club unveiled the findings of the most comprehensive study of wildlife poaching ever conducted in the United States, a five-year effort demonstrating that only about 4% of poaching incidents are detected, with an estimated minimum annual conservation cost of $1.4 billion in lost fines and wildlife replacement costs. In 2026, the Club will translate that research into practical policy reforms, including advocating for increased fines and restitution so that poaching is never cheaper than legal hunting, promoting felony classification for high-value poaching offenses, strengthening enforcement capacity and investigative tools for wildlife officers, encouraging specialized prosecution models for wildlife crime, and developing continuing legal education materials for prosecutors and judges. The Club will also expand public outreach efforts to increase the stigma against poaching and upgrade traditional tip lines to digital platforms.

Since its founding by Theodore Roosevelt in 1887, the Boone and Crockett Club and its members have led the development of policies that protected federal public lands, developed the frameworks of modern game laws, funded conservation efforts, and reinforced the vision of sustainable use of North America’s natural resources. The Club’s Trailblazers in Conservation partnership program unites industry leaders in support of scientific wildlife management, hunter ethics, and conservation advocacy.

About the Boone and Crockett Club: Founded by Theodore Roosevelt in 1887, the Boone and Crockett Club promotes guardianship and visionary management of big game and wildlife in North America. The Club maintains the highest standards of fair chase sportsmanship and habitat stewardship. Member accomplishments include enlarging and protecting Yellowstone and establishing Glacier and Denali national parks, founding the U.S. Forest Service, National Park Service and National Wildlife Refuge System, fostering the Pittman-Robertson and Lacey Acts, creating the Federal Duck Stamp program, and developing the cornerstones of modern game laws. The Boone and Crockett Club is headquartered in Missoula, Montana. Learn more at boone-crockett.org.

The Championship marked the culmination of a remarkable season that brought together student archers, coaches, families, volunteers, and conservation partners from across North America. The event featured competition in both the traditional Bullseye format and the rapidly growing NASP®3D discipline. One thing was evident throughout the season: NASP® students love archery.

More than 3,100 student archers representing 40 states and one Canadian province participated in the Championship, making it one of the largest youth shooting sports events in the world. Complete tournament results are available at https://nasptournaments.org/NationalWorld.aspx.

Held at the Ocean Center in Daytona Beach, the NASP® Championship once again demonstrated why the city has become a premier destination for archers and their families.

“We love coming to Daytona,” said NASP® President Tommy Floyd. “The beach has become a tremendous destination for NASP® archers and their families. The support we receive from the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission staff, local volunteers, and our sponsors helps make this event possible each year.”

NASP® Vice President Jeff Rawlinson added, “This was a fantastic event and one of the best tournament seasons we’ve ever experienced. We are especially excited about the continued launch and growth of NASP®3D and grateful to the coaches and families who attend our tournaments and help make them some of the largest youth shooting sports events in the world.”

A highlight of Championship weekend was the annual NASP® Scholarship Shoot-Off, where the nation’s top Bullseye and 3D archers competed for scholarship awards in an exciting head-to-head format. The shoot-off once again showcased the exceptional talent, sportsmanship, and composure of NASP® student archers.

The Championship recognized academic excellence through the NASP® Academic Archer program. The top male and female academic archers in each division, six students total, were honored for their outstanding achievements both in the classroom and on the range. Each recipient received an Easton prize package in recognition of their dedication to academics, leadership, and archery.

The Championship also featured the presentation of the inaugural NASP® Grand Champion Award, recognizing the top overall male and female archer who demonstrated excellence across both Bullseye and NASP®3D competition. The award was determined using the combined scores from National Bullseye, National NASP® 3D, Championship Bullseye, and Championship NASP®3D, rewarding archers who performed consistently across all four events throughout the season.

Grand Champion Male – Callan Hignight, Grade 10, MAGNET COVE HIGH SCHOOL, AR.

Grand Champion Female – Isabella Caplinger, Grade 8, MAYSVILLE MIDDLE SCHOOL, OH.

The success of the Championship would not have been possible without the dedication and support of numerous partners and volunteers. NASP® extends sincere appreciation to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission staff, local volunteers, tournament officials, coaches, and parents who contributed countless hours to the event.

Special thanks are also extended to NASP®’s sponsors, state fish and wildlife agency and conservation partners whose continued support helps provide opportunities for students nationwide to participate in archery and outdoor education programs.

“Our volunteers, coaches, and parents are truly the foundation of these events,” Floyd said. “Their commitment allows students to experience competition, build confidence, and create lifelong memories through archery.”

As the 2025–2026 tournament season ends, NASP® celebrates not only the accomplishments of its student archers, but also the educators, coaches, families, agencies, and volunteers who make the program possible.
