Dupree's PR Team were delighted to attend the prestigious IPC Shooting Industry Awards recently, joining forces with Seeland International CEO Bent Rasmussen and UK Sales Agents Simon Esnouf and Ewen Steel to pick up Best New Footwear Product.
Dupree prepared and submitted five product entries this year for products launched by Seeland International in 2013. It was a hugely successful evening for both the Seeland and Harkila brands with the Seeland Estate Vibram 18" 5mm Boot winning the Best Footwear category after a close run head to head with its sibling the Harkila Forester boot.
The following Seeland International products were shortlisted;
BEST CLOTHING PRODUCT:
Pro Hunter X Jacket
BEST FOOTWEAR PRODUCT:
Seeland Estate Vibram 18" 5mm Boot, Harkila Forester 17" 3mm H Vent Boot
BEST SHOOTING ACCESSORY:
Seeland Cartridge Pen
This welcome endorsement for Seeland International's products, its commitment to the sport of shooting and its attention to detail, was enhanced further by some very positive feedback from the respected panel of judges and some impressive sales figures.
The judges awarded first prize to the Seeland Estate Vibram Boot for;
'looking good and being a very comfortable boot at a reasonable price'.
Another judge on the awards panel, with plenty of experience of wet British shooting seasons added;
'this is a really good boot for the money'.
Dupree is no stranger to success at these awards, with three previous wins in consecutive years for the Harkila Pro Hunter GTX 12? Boot, the Seeland Edward Classic Jacket and the Seeland Woodcock Jacket.
