    Default ** Falconry Contest...Huge Prizes! **

    Western Sporting, NAFEX.net, Archives of Falconry and American Falconry Conservancy Contest 2010

    We are pleased to announce, after much thought and planning, that we are ready to launch the first Western Sporting, NAFEX.net, Archives of Falconry Contest and American Falconry Conservancy.


    The contest will run from 10/14/10 - 10/31/10 Get your answers in quickly! Time is of the essence.


    Contest Rules:


    1) Contest begins on 10/14/10 and ends on 10/31/10 @ 2000 hrs Mountain Standard Time (USA). Contestants can enter as many times as they want, but only the last submission form sent in by any particular contestant will be used as the entry for that contestant.

    2) There will be 16 prizes awarded. They are ranked from 1 to 16 with Prize 1 being the most valuable.

    3) The winners will be ranked 1 to 16, based on their total scores, i.e. number of correct answers. The top winner receives Prize 1, the second-place winner receives Prize 2, and so forth.

    4) The prizes will be awarded to those contestants who answer the highest number of questions correctly. If two or more contestants are tied, the earliest submission is the winner. If, for example, 18 entries receive the same score and are thus tied, the first 16 submissions are the 16 winners; the earliest entry would win Prize 1, the next-earliest entry would win Prize 2, and so forth.

    5) The winning answers must match those established by Western Sporting. There will be no negotiating over answers.

    6) Prizes will be awarded in the exact order that they are listed in the prize section of the contest information. There will be no bartering, exchanging, or swapping of prizes.

    7) Western Sporting may use the personal information you provide to tell you about special offers or products that we think will be of interest. Your names, addresses, and email addresses are never sold or given to other parties for any other reason.

    8) Winning contestants will be required to pay for all shipping charges of the prize they have won.

    9) Please do not telephone Western Sporting to discuss the contest progress or winners—no information will be given until the contest is over. The winners and the correct answers will be announced by both NAFEX and Western Sporting.

    10) All discussion of the contest questions is prohibited on NAFEX.net until the contest is over. Any Thread/post that discuss the contest questions will be deleted.

    11) Please have fun!!!

    Default Winners #8 and #9

    Many Thanks to all the fine people from Western Sporting, NAFEX, Archives of Falconry, American Falconry Conservancy. David, Mike, and Chris thanks for allowing us to participate in this very exciting contest.

    Thanks from winner #8 (Brittney) for my new Dan Leigh "Little Bear" Kite. The only thing that I have ever won was a gummy bear candy for a correct answer back in Grade 2! Now I have the kite that I wanted to purchase for myself in the future (perfect prize for me)

    Additional Thanks from Winner #9 (Ian) of a Custom-Braided Nylon Tethering System.

    Thanks For The Fun Everyone!

    Default The Contest

    Hello Everyone,

    Well, the contest is over and all the prizes have now been sent out. Wew, it was a great deal of work but also fun. We tried to make the questions difficult and not something everyone could simply Google.

    NAFEX is a great place to hang out. Everyone is very helpful and the site is like your own home town with a wide reaching appeal. Chris has done a great job creating a falconer-friendly forum.

    Thanks to everyone who entered the contest and to Chris and Mike for their hard work. The technology is in place and we can easily do another contest next year. So keep collecting those obscure falconry facts and keep visiting NAFEX and Western Sporting.

    All our best,

    David Frank
    Western Sporting
