Doug Koenig to Help Grow the SportTenPoint is pleased to introduce Doug Koenig as a new spokesman for our line of crossbows. Doug
has been called the greatest all-around rifle, pistol, and shotgun competitive shooter in the world. In
Patented ACUdraw™ and Patented ACUdraw 50™ a competitive career started in 1990 – at age 20 – he has built a resume that is unequalled. The TenPoint staff first met Doug a few years ago when he stopped by our display at an industry trade show. He already owned one of our crossbows (he now owns three) and stopped to introduce himself and to tell us how much he liked the crossbow. He has firm opinions regarding product quality. “I cannot win tournaments without using good equipment,” he contends. “I hunt with TenPoint crossbows for the same reason. You can’t underestimate the importance of quality and dependability.” Since our first meeting, we have come to know and admire Doug as a person and as a competitor. That admiration and his philosophy regarding hunting – in particular, crossbow hunting – is what led us to ask him to become our spokesman. As spokesman for the National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF), Doug supports hunting with all types of weapons. “We need more hunters, not fewer. The anti’s love it when we fight among ourselves over choice of hunting weapons,” he argues. “If we don’t learn to accept each other, we’ll end up killing the sport.” “State wildlife agencies want more deer killed and more hunters afield, and there is plenty of evidence to support the use of crossbows in archery season. They are a great tool for recruiting new bowhunters and retaining older ones, and they offer a good way for gun hunters to transition into bowhunting.” Besides taking on TenPoint as a sponsor, Doug is also a spokesman for an impressive number of other quality manufacturers like Smith and Wesson and Leupold. TenPoint looks forward to working with Doug Koenig to help grow the sport and to expand the use of crossbows.
Here are some of his accomplishments:
