The Clarksville Bass Pro Shops will host a Field & Stream Total Outdoorsman Challenge Qualifier April 18-20. The event is part of a coast-to-coast competition to name the most competent and well-rounded sportsman in the nation. Winners from the event will advance to the Regional Championships where thousands of dollars is up for grabs in cash and prizes.
Entrance is free with each participant receiving a gift bag full of goodies from Field & Stream, Bass Pro Shops and more. Outdoorsmen and women in the Clarksville area will have three opportunities to participate, on Friday, April 18, Saturday, April 19 and Sunday, April 20.
“We’re not short on great outdoor opportunities in this area and I certainly think we’re home to some of the top outdoorsmen in the region, if not the country,” says Amanda Trester, Promotions Manager of the Clarksville Bass Pro Shops. “This event is a great way to come out, have some fun and see how you stack-up against your buddies and the rest of the nation. The chance to win $25,000 doesn’t hurt either!”
The competition will test outdoorsmen’s skills in baitcasting, archery and air rifle challenges with each participant receiving a gift bag. The top six competitors from each store will advance to the Regional Championship where cash and prizes are on the line. Winners at the regional level will also earn one of sixteen coveted spots at the Field & Stream Total Outdoorsman Challenge National Championship where competitors will go head-to-head for a top prize of $25,000 in cash and prizes and a feature in Field & Stream magazine.
“If you’re a good hunter and good fisherman you could walk away with some cash and have a ton of fun,” said Anthony Licata, editor of Field & Stream. “We’re looking for someone who loves the outdoors and takes advantage of each season’s opportunities from fishing and hunting to archery and ATV’s. I can’t wait to see what Clarksville has to offer.”
In its fifth year, the Field & Stream Total Outdoorsman Challenge is the only contest in the country to determine the most competent all-around outdoorsman. The event tests sportsmen’s abilities by putting them through a series of skills challenges that touch on all areas of the outdoor sports. Sixteen participants will compete in the National Championships in Springfield, Mo., September 5-7, earning their spots through a series of local qualifiers and Regional Championships.
Competitors at the national event will participate in seven outdoor skill challenges, including: fly-fishing, baitcasting, rifle, shotgun, ATV handling, endurance, and archery. The Field & Stream Total Outdoorsman Challenge National Championship winner will walk away with $25,000 in cash and prizes, a feature in Field & Stream magazine, and extensive coverage on FieldandStream.com and the Total Outdoorsman Challenge television show.
The Field & Stream Total Outdoorsman Challenge is FREE to enter, however space is limited. Please sign-up onsite the day of the qualifier. Competitors at the Clarksville Bass Pro Shops can compete multiple times, with the best score counting.
