“TETRA Hearing could not be more proud to return in supporting the NWTF and all the work they do in conservation for the wild turkeys we all love,” said Dr. Bill Dickinson, owner/ co-founder of TETRA Hearing. “Happiness is never about what you get but easily measured by what you give. At TETRA, Giving the Gift of Hearing is what defines our purpose in life and there is no better way to celebrate wild turkeys than listening to all the amazing sounds they make.”
TETRA Hearing specializes in advanced hearing protection that allows hunters to hear the sounds that matter while protecting against harmful noise. As a Longbeard Sponsor, TETRA will serve as a co-sponsor of the Grand National Calling Contest, underscoring the importance of sound and hearing in the tradition of turkey hunting. Attendees can also visit TETRA on the sport show floor at booth 733.
“We’re thrilled to have TETRA continue as a Longbeard Sponsor for the 2026 Convention and Sport Show,” said Natalia Daniels, NWTF national director of corporate relations and licensing. “Their focus on protecting hunters’ hearing while conserving the sounds of the outdoors makes them a natural partner for the NWTF and a great fit for the Grand National Calling Contest.”
The 2026 convention week, officially sponsored by Mossy Oak, kicks off in true Nashville style with the Sip and Strut downtown on Wednesday evening, Feb. 11. On Thursday morning, Feb. 12, the doors swing open to the sport show, featuring more than 500 exhibitors packed with the latest gear, calls, artwork and everything else a turkey enthusiast could dream of. That night, the energy ramps up again with the always-popular Kickoff Dinner Party.
The sport show continues through Saturday, Feb. 14, filling Opryland with the unmistakable buzz of stories shared, friendships renewed and lifelong memories made. The week concludes Sunday, Feb. 15, with a free worship service open to all.
