Leupold & Stevens, Inc., provider of the world’s most rugged, lightweight, and clear sport optics, is pleased to announce that it is the title sponsor of the 2022 Strut Masters Championship, to be held Saturday, April 9 in North Carolina.

The annual turkey hunting tournament awards seven different cash prizes, honoring 1st place through 5th place, and handing out special bonus payouts for largest multiple beard score and largest bearded hen score. All birds harvested are judged using the National Wild Turkey Federation’s scoring system. Each team can harvest two turkeys, but only enter one bird per category. The tournament brings industry names like Michael Waddell and Nate Hosie out to compete for a coveted turkey hunting title.

“We couldn’t host the Strut Master Championship without the support of our sponsors, and we’re ecstatic that Leupold is involved,” said Josh Richardson, Board Member for the Strut Masters Championship. “As a fifth-generation, family-owned company, Leupold knows how important it is to share our passion for the outdoors, both with each other and with the next generation.”

All proceeds from the Strut Masters Championship go to the NC Pirate Classic, an annual youth turkey hunting tournament held nearby. The 2022 NC Pirate Classic featured more than 300 youth hunters and provides a positive outdoor experience for the next generation of hunters and outdoorsmen and women so they may pass on tradition of turkey hunting for generations to come.
