Posted on January 17, 2013

Bushnell Outdoor Products Inc. recently received the 2013 Cabela Lifetime Business Achievement Award.  The presentation was made by the U.S. Sportsmen’s Alliance (USSA) and partners during the Shooting, Hunting and Outdoor Trade Show (SHOT) Show in Las Vegas.

The award was accepted by Bushnell President and CEO Blake Lipham and was presented by Scott Williams, Executive Vice-President and Chief Financial and E-Commerce Officer of Cabela’s Inc.  Assisting in the presentation were Mike Callahan, president of Aspen Partners and Chairman of the USSA Outdoor Business Council, and Bud Pidgeon, USSA president and CEO.

The U.S. Sportsmen’s Alliance and its Outdoor Business Council created the award in 2006 to honor the Cabela family’s dedication to protecting outdoor sports, including hunting, fishing, and trapping. It is presented to companies that demonstrate the same passion and commitment to protecting America’s outdoor heritage as the Cabela family has shown.

“This is our way of honoring the Cabela family and other leaders such as Blake and Bushnell in the outdoor business community for their efforts to defend our rights,” said Pidgeon.
