LARAMIE, WY – Thompson/Center Arms, part of the Smith & Wesson Family, has signed on as a platinum-level sponsor for the 2016 Wyoming Women’s Antelope Hunt. Since 1967, Thompson/Center Arms has been outfitting hunters with American-made firearms that stand up in the toughest situations and perform when it counts.
Thompson/Center and Smith & Wesson have sponsored the hunt, the first of its kind in the nation, since its creation by the Wyoming Women’s Foundation in 2013. The hunt, to be held Oct. 6-9, 2016, will bring together 40 female hunters from across the nation at the Ranch at Ucross in northeast Wyoming for a weekend of hunting, mentorship and camaraderie, as well as raising funds and awareness for the Wyoming Women’s Foundation.
“We at Thompson/Center are proud to be able to sponsor and stand behind this all-women antelope hunt,” said Danielle Sanville, Thompson/Center Arms Brand Manager. “Hunting is a long-standing American tradition and this event mentors women in developing a skill that can help them feed their families and become more self-sufficient.”
“We are thankful for Thompson/Center and Smith & Wesson’s continued sponsorship of the hunt,” said Marilyn Kite, retired Wyoming Supreme Court Justice and co-founder of the hunt. “Since its start in 2013, the Wyoming Women’s Antelope Hunt has been able to help more women grow their hunting skills through mentorship.”
