"The future of the shooting sports in this country is in the hands of tomorrow's outdoorsmen and women. The youth of America must be educated to the wholesome and valued world of hunting and conservation.    Because rock 'n roll plays such a pivotal role in a young person's life, I will share my wonderful lifestyle and experiences with them." --Ted Nugent
