Steve Conover, Jamestown, KY, wins 2 NWTF world titles Jamestown, Russell Co., KY's Steve Conover won the 12- and 20-gauge divisions at the National Wild Turkey Federation's 2010 Wild Turkey World Still Target Championships. Steve is a native Adair Countain and the son of Phyllis Reeves and Joseph Conover, both of Adair Co. KY. Click on headline for full story plus headline By Michael Turbyfill News from the National Wild Turkey Federation Edgefield, SC. - Steve Conover's steady aim and intense focus paid off October 2, 2010, when he was crowned champion in the 12- and 20-gauge open divisions at the National Wild Turkey Federation's 2010 Wild Turkey World Still Target Championships. Kentucky's Steve Conover won the 12- and 20-gauge divisions at the National Wild Turkey Federation's 2010 Wild Turkey World Still Target Championships. "I've been fortunate enough to break five world records over the years," said Conover. "For me, the competition is as much between myself and the gun, shell, choke and weather as it is against the other competitors. Everyone out here is a friend of mine, which is why I enjoy this event so much." Still-target shooting simulates turkey hunters shooting a wild turkey gobbler at 40 yards with a shotgun. Winners are determined by the number of pellets a shooter is able to put in a 3-inch circle on a paper target. After dozens of rounds of preliminary, qualifying competition on Friday, October 1, 2010 and the morning of Saturday, October 2, 2010, Conover joined other finalists later in the day on Saturday as the competition's drama unfolded in the finals. Conover's scores of 38 and 22 in the 12-gauge division, as well as 17 and 16 in the 20-gauge division, were good enough to defeat the other shooters. For his victories, Conover won $800 and two Remington shotguns. Originally known as a "turkey shoot," the NWTF's still target championships were conceived 18 years ago as a conservation effort to help turkey hunters better understand the point of aim and point of impact of their turkey guns. "The ultimate goal of the competition is to reduce crippling loss and misses in the field, but it's also a great way for equipment manufacturers to improve their turkey hunting products," said Rhett Simmons, NWTF director of special events. Founded in 1973, the NWTF is dedicated to the conservation of the wild turkey and the preservation of our hunting heritage. Through dynamic partnerships with state, federal and provincial wildlife agencies, the NWTF and its members have helped restore wild turkey populations across the country, spending more than $331 million to conserve 15.9 million acres of habitat for all types of wildlife. The NWTF works to increase interest in the outdoors by bringing new hunters and conservationists into the fold through outdoor education events and its outreach programs - Women in the Outdoors, Wheelin' Sportsmen, JAKES and Xtreme JAKES.
