50th Anniversary Browning Citoris for Conservation
In honor of five decades of dedicated conservation efforts, the National Wild Turkey Federation is partnering with Browning to produce 50 exclusive Browning Citori Lightning 12-gauge shotguns.
These limited-edition firearms honor the organization’s 50 years of dedication to the conservation of wild turkeys and the preservation of our hunting heritage. They will also serve as a means to raise additional funds to bolster the mission.
State chapters have already auctioned and raffled off many of these limited-edition shotguns, and members have responded with remarkable enthusiasm. As a result, this fundraiser has raised more than $250,000 to date. These funds will empower the NWTF to continue its vital work in enhancing wild turkey populations and conserving critical habitats.
While a substantial portion of the limited edition Citori shotguns have already sold, there are still opportunities for interested individuals to get their hands on one as various chapters continue to hold auctions and raffles. By participating in these events, members stand a chance to own a piece of NWTF history and play a vital role in conserving the future of wild turkeys and our hunting heritage.
"We would like to thank our friends at Browning for producing these 50 limited-edition Citoris,” NWTF Regional Director Jason Tarwater said. “There are still a few more available for people to bid on or purchase raffle chances for, so do not wait for your chance to own a piece of NWTF history."
