Scholastic 3-D Archery (S3DA) proudly announces its support of Tree Stand Safety Awareness Month in partnership with the Tree Stand Safety Awareness Foundation (TSSA). Established to raise awareness and reduce tree stand incidents, Tree Stand Safety Awareness Month takes place throughout September.
“In our sport, safety is always the top priority,” said Patty Reel, S3DA National Conservation Coordinator. “We’re excited to partner with TSSA to help our youth members learn critical tree stand and saddle safety practices before heading into the woods.”
This September, S3DA youth members will have the opportunity to take an educational quiz on tree stand and saddle safety, testing their knowledge on best practices and safe hunting habits. Participants will also be entered for a chance to win prizes courtesy of TSSA, including a Hunter Safety System Harness and Lifeline, Muddy Trail Camera, and Realtree EZ Hanger Combo Set. Three lucky winners will be drawn at the end of the month.
The TSSA promotes four building blocks of tree stand safety, known as the ABCs, to help hunters remain safe while in elevated stands. S3DA encourages all youth members, regardless of experience, to review these critical safety tips.
