2010 NWTF Gun of the Year: Remington 1100 G3
Whether in the turkey woods, on the dove field or in a display case, the 2010 Gun of the Year melds utility with design to create a functioning work of art. Elegant stocks contrast with the polished blue of this 20-guage Remington 1100 G3. Elaborate roll-engraving on the receiver celebrates spring by featuring a gold-enhanced strutting tom on the left side with the NWTF's classic seal on the right. The Model 1100 G3 takes an American favorite to a new level of function and incorporates features that enhance the gas-operating system, reduce wear and improve cleaning. Starting with the solid carbon steel receiver, the G3 wears a Titanium PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) coating, providing an attractive, yet durable finish. All internal operating parts are honed, nickel-plated and treated with a Teflon coating. Other improvements include a pressure-compensated, 26-inch ribbed barrel, which enables the use of light 2-inch target loads interchangeably with heavier 3-inch magnum loads. The Realwood semi-fancy carbon-fiber-laminate stocks feature a high-gloss finish and modern, stylized machine-cut checkering, and are strong enough to withstand even the toughest days in the field. Limited edition of 2,200. Made in the USA.

2010 Featured Artist of the Year Print "Riverside Pursuit" by Adam Smith
Who knows what's next on this mountain lion's menu? The secret lies with this year's artist of the year Adam Smith. Born in Minnesota in 1984 and moved to Montana when he was 9, Smith was raised in the world of wildlife art. His father, artist Daniel Smith, often had mounts, skins and wildlife references scattered around the studio. His home, nestled in the woods at the base of a mountain, offers frequent visits from elk, moose and mountain lions. "Nature is part of who we are as a family," Smith said.

The matted and framed piece measures 23 inches by 22 inches. Made in the USA.

"Country Living" by Thomas Kinkade
To the artist, these bluebonnets, scotch broom and wild poppies symbolize the abundant blessings of country living, the tangible pleasures that surround you day in and day out where the air is pure and the sun is bright.

"Prepared for the Season" by Terry Redlin
Hunting is a tradition with this farm family, as they review last minute plans in a nearby shed.

Made in the USA. [Encore Edition]
