Marsupial Gear Joins the 2026 NWTF Convention and Sport Show as First-Time Longbeard Sponsor

“We’re proud to join NWTF as a Longbeard Sponsor and connect with turkey hunters from across the country,” said Jay, community manager at Marsupial Gear. “This convention is where the turkey hunting community comes together, and we’re excited to be part of it and showcase our American-made packs. We’re incredibly grateful for the support Marsupial Gear receives from the turkey hunting community, and we take great pride in sewing and stitching every pack we make right here in the United States.” 

Built by hunters and trusted across the country, Marsupial Gear develops purpose-driven systems designed for performance in real hunting conditions.  As a Longbeard Sponsor, Marsupial Gear will serve as the Technology Sponsor for the convention while connecting with attendees on the sport show floor at booth 539. 

“We’re excited to welcome Marsupial Gear as a Longbeard Sponsor for the 2026 Convention and Sport Show,” said Natalia Daniels, NWTF national director of corporate relations and licensing. “Their innovative approach to gear and technology adds value to the convention experience, and our members will enjoy connecting with them on the show floor.”
