OSG Logo New

DENVER (August 9, 2021)Outdoor Sportsman Group (OSG) and Archery Trade Association (ATA) are pleased to announce the renewal of their “ATA New Product Premiere” strategic media partnership, which was in response to last year’s ATA 2021 Online show but is now focused solely on ATA’s live convention, scheduled for January 7-9, 2022, in Louisville, Kentucky. The announcement was made today by Outdoor Sportsman Group Chief Operating Officer Michael Carney.

A powerful and innovative industry partnership that combines the collective strengths of the ATA and OSG, the “ATA New Product Premiere,” offers participants a turnkey solution for featuring the latest news about their products and services in front of the marketplace’s top dealers and retailers, as well as an unequaled consumer audience.

“The inaugural ‘ATA New Product Premiere’ presented much needed multi-media exposure for participating manufacturers during last year’s pandemic-induced shutdown of the ATA live event,” Carney stated. “We’re thrilled to be back, and with a renewed focus on the ATA live event, including OSG hosting the Buzz Center on the show floor.”

The new-for-2022 version of the “ATA New Product Premiere” television special will air on Outdoor Channel and Sportsman Channel on a Saturday evening following the ATA Show in January and again in July 2022.

“We can’t wait to see all of our ATA members and industry friends again in person,” ATA Senior Director of Trade Show and Membership Maria Lewis said. “We’re thrilled to not only be partnered with Outdoor Sportsman Group,once more, but also to have a component of the ‘ATA New Product Premiere’ on the show floor as OSG’s communications professionals take on the Buzz Center where members can experience a press conference style new-product reveal while making quality digital content for release at the event.”

Sportsman Channel to Host Live Broadcast Event of Elite Archery Pro/AM on Saturday, July 31 at 5 p.m. ET

OSG Logo New

Pro/Am is Part of McKenzie Archery Shooters Association (ASA) 3D Live Tournament Series

DENVER (July 28, 2021) Sportsman Channel, a network of Outdoor Sportsman Group – the world’s largest aggregator, creator and distributor of outdoor lifestyle content – continues as the official multimedia distributor of the McKenzie Archery Shooters Association (ASA) 3D Live Tournament. The next event to broadcast via linear, digital and social channels (Sportsman Channel, MOTV and Sportsman Channel Facebook page) is the Elite Archery Pro/AM on Saturday, July 31 at 5 p.m. ET.

The network will continue to distribute monthly tournaments throughout the summer, with the final tournament on August 28.

The ASA, established in 1994, was formed to call attention to the sport of archery by providing a series of tournaments for highly-skilled participants. The concept has evolved to the point where Sportsman Channel agreed to televise tournaments in a six-month schedule in 2021. Each McKenzie ASA tournament can draw up to 2,000 amateur and professional archers from all over the world.

The ASA “Pro Pressure Point Shootdowns” are the highlight of each national McKenzie ASA tournament. After two days of competition in the field, the top five archers in each of the four professional divisions square off on a special, five-target field set up with stadium seating and CAM’s broadcast cameras.

Each archer shoots an arrow at one of the five targets to add to their two-day cumulative score from the weekend. If needed, a sixth arrow also is shot to determine the final podium positions. This phase of the competition features the added pressure of archers having to perform in front of hundreds of spectators on the field with broadcast cameras following their every move.

Viewers will see the finals broadcast live on Sportsman Channel at 5 p.m. ET on August 28 in Russell County, Ala.

Sponsors of the McKenzie ASA 3D Live Tournament include: Elite Archery, Hoyt, Easton Southwest, TRU Ball & Black Eagle and Mathews. For more information on Sportsman Channel and the Archery Shooters Association, visit: www.asaarchery.com.

About Archery Shooters Association: In addition to the national Tour, the ASA supports more than 330 clubs that provide an excellent opportunity for everyone to shoot. With a focus on the growth of the sport of 3-D archery by supporting local clubs and making a commitment to youth education and training, the ASA has established itself as a leading force in the movement to bring the sport to mainstream America. The ASA organization includes experienced archers and coaches that work year-round conducting well- organized and challenging local, state, and national tournaments that are enjoyed by professional and amateur shooters alike.
