Yamaha Sponsors Total Outdoorsman Challenge
Yamaha 04.18.12
Yamaha Outdoors, the motorsports leader in supporting outdoors conservation and responsible use of our public lands, is helping to identify the “nation’s most all-around skilled outdoorsman” as a sponsor of the “Field & Stream Total Outdoorsman Challenge.”
The Total Outdoorsman Challenge 2012 games will highlight the dramatic journey of outdoor enthusiasts from across the country battling for recognition as the nation’s most all-around skilled outdoorsman. In the ultimate outdoor test of skill, nerve, might and agility, contestants will go head-to-head in multiple outdoor skill challenges: flyfishing, bass fishing, rifle, shotgun, endurance, archery and ATV handling, among others.
As a sponsor of the Total Outdoorsman Challenge, Yamaha will give away a new Grizzly 700 4×4 ATV with Electric Power Steering to the winner of the contest. The Total Outdoorsman, created by Field & Stream magazine, has grown to become one of the most popular outdoor events in the country. It is in its ninth year as a nationwide event and fourth year appearing on Outdoor Channel.
The road to the grand prize of more than $25,000 in cash and prizes, including the Yamaha Grizzly, begins with four Qualifying events. Registration for the qualifying events is open and ends Sunday, April 22nd. There is no fee to apply.
