Thompson/Center Hunter-Level Sponsor of 2019 Wyoming Women’s Antelope Hunt
In 2016, Thompson/Center Arms donated ten of its Venture series .243 rifles to the Wyoming Women’s Antelope Hunt. This generous donation has enabled the Wyoming Women’s Antelope
Hunt to confidently provide loaner guns to participants each year who do not own a rifle.
“Having the gear that’s required to learn to hunt is one hurdle women experience, and having
loaner rifles available greatly aids the hunt’s ability to bring more newcomers into hunting,”
says Wyoming Women’s Foundation Director, Rebekah Smith.
Many of these new participants have not shot a gun prior to the hunt, and having access to a
Thompson/Center rifle allows them to fully participate in this premier all-women’s hunting
event.
“Thompson/Center Arm’s sponsorship of the Wyoming Women’s Antelope Hunt is something I
look forward to every year,” said Danielle Sanville, Thompson/Center Arms Brand Manager. “We continue to support the Wyoming Women’s Foundation due to our shared belief that their annual hunt provides an amazing opportunity for women in Wyoming and across the U.S. to learn a skill that can provide for their families.”
This year’s hunt will be held Oct. 10-13, 2019 and will bring together more than 40 female hunters from across the nation at the Ranch at Ucross in northeast Wyoming for a weekend of hunting, learning, mentorship and camaraderie, as well as raising funds and awareness for the Wyoming Women’s Foundation.
Please visit the Wyoming Women’s Antelope Hunt webpage at wyomingwomensantelopehunt.org for more information on sponsorship and individual participation, including scholarships. Based on its level of contribution, each sponsor has the opportunity to invite women to hunt at the event. The foundation is also seeking dinner sponsors and in-kind donations for its fundraising auction dinner on Friday, Oct. 11.
