World student archery tournament comes to Alliant Energy Center in Madison July 11-13
MADISON - The 6th
annual National Archery in the Schools World Tournament will take place
in Madison at the Alliant Energy Center July 11-13, 2014. The event will
showcase archers from all around the world and is open to the public.
The National Archery in the Schools Program is an in-school curriculum for students in grades four to twelve. A number of schools participating in the NASP program have created after school programs and archery teams in addition to their in-school archery program. "While the National Archery in the Schools Program focuses on the process of shooting and shooting safely rather than the outcome or score of the arrow, the NASP tournaments offer participants in the program an opportunity to demonstrate their proficiency in the sport," said Dan Schroeder, NASP coordinator for the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources, which is serving as host for the world tournament. Archers qualify for the NASP World Tournament based on their scores at the NASP national tournament. Archers and teams from countries outside of the United States follow a similar qualification process through their respective provincial and national tournaments. In 2014, archers are expected from Canada, South Africa, Namibia, Zimbabwe, and Mongolia. Competitive flight times are as follows:
Last year, the NASP World Tournament was held in St. Louis, Mo. Participation from 2012 to 2013 increased by 134 percent -- 2,907 archers competed at the 2013 world tournament. Additional growth is expected in 2014. Josh Ohlert and Riley Mabe, the overall male and female champions in 2013 respectively, scored the highest individual world tournament scores ever recorded by NASP at last year's world tournament. Ohlert and Wendi Thomas, the male and female high school champions in 2013, have graduated and will not be defending their title in 2014. However, Mabe enters ninth grade this fall and will defend her title. A pair of two-time defending world champion teams, Trigg County High School of Cadiz, Ky. and Caudill Middle School of Richmond Ky., will each try to achieve a third straight victory in 2014.

Natural Resources Board approves early teal season and extended dove season in Wisconsin
MADISON – The Natural Resources Board today approved an early teal season and extended dove season in Wisconsin.
The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources will offer an early teal-only duck hunting season that will begin September 2014. In addition, 20 days will be added to the end of the current 70-day dove hunting season. “We are excited to offer these new hunting opportunities to Wisconsin’s 130,000 migratory game bird hunters,” said DNR migratory game bird ecologist Kent Van Horn. “Duck hunters have repeatedly asked DNR staff to work with the US Fish and Wildlife Service to secure this opportunity and after several years of hard work we are finally to the point of implementation.” Framework established by the United States Fish and Wildlife Service requires an early teal season to be scheduled in September prior to Wisconsin’s regular duck season. Only teal species may be harvested during this period. The department will be required to monitor and report hunter performance throughout the experimental three-year period - this will help determine the success of an early teal season. The Natural Resources Board has approved the following season structure:
During 2013 and early 2014, DNR staff presented information in public meetings, advisory committee meetings and special breakout sessions at the waterfowl hunter’s conference and gathered feedback with a waterfowl hunter survey. The department collected public comment regarding the opportunity to offer teal and dove season changes through June 5, 2014. In order to ensure that teal are easily recognized by hunters, the department’s waterfowl webpage will feature an online teal identification application and quiz within the next few weeks.
