Pheasants Forever & Quail Forever is proud to announce
SoundGear™ has renewed their national sponsorship as the organization’s official hearing protection partner. The relationship provides SoundGear with a wide array of opportunities to educate the organization’s supporters about the company’s innovative hearing protection products, while making a financial commitment to wildlife habitat conservation.
“As both a member of the hunting community and as a fellow Minnesota-based company, we’re extremely proud to be a partner in Pheasants Forever and Quail Forever’s wildlife habitat mission,” explained Lance Kraemer, SoundGear’s product manager.
SoundGear products digitally enhance environmental sounds like wing beats or dogs running through the grass while simultaneously protecting the hearing of hunters and shooters from harmful, high-decibel noises. Offering audible technology that is ready to wear right out of the box as well as custom-fitted options, SoundGear products are great for weekend warriors or avid uplanders who demand the most in hearing enhancement and protection.
“As a hunter who was starting to suffer the impact of hearing loss, I am a big fan of SoundGear’s innovative custom-fitting technology. Unlike some other products I’ve tried over the years, SoundGear custom protection is actually an asset in the field as a bird hunter. While wearing SoundGear products, I’ve been able to actually hear a bird explode from the grass even before I see the flush,” explained Chris Kalis, Pheasants Forever & Quail Forever’s director of corporate partnerships.
In addition to marketing in the
Pheasants Forever Journal of Upland Conservation, Quail Forever Journal, and the organization’s online channels, the following highlight key components of the relationship:
- National Pheasant Fest & Quail Classic – As a gold sponsor for the 2020 National Pheasant Fest & Quail Classic in Minneapolis, SoundGear will have a large presence on the show floor of the Minneapolis Convention Center on February 14, 15 & 16, 2020. More details at www.PheasantFest.org
- Rooster Road Trip – SoundGear will be a partner in the organization’s popular 2019 public lands hunting trip across pheasant country this October. Check out www.RoosterRoadTrip.org for last year’s highlights.
