THERESA VAIL HAS BEEN WIDELY RECOGNIZED FOR SOME TIME AS FORMER MISS KANSAS . VAIL WAS A 2014 MISS AMERICA TOP 10 FINALIST , AND DARED TO STRADDLE THE LINE BETWEEN TRADITION AND MODERNITY , AS SHE STRUTTED ACROSS THE STAGE IN HER BEAUTIFUL RED SWIMSUIT , BARING A VERY VISIBLE , AND VERY MEANINGFUL TATTOO .
It goes without saying ,
Theresa Vail is not your average beauty pageant contestant , nor is she your average American citizen . Vail ’ s father served his country in the U . S . Army for more than 30 years , and his daughter followed his booted footprints all the way to enlistment . She joined the Army National Guard and she “ continues to travel the world , encouraging others to experience the outdoor lifestyle .”
Theresa Vail admits to being “ a sad and timid girl who was unsure of herself ,” even with the skillset and knowledge that her father and family provided her during childhood . It was when she decided to take risks , and fight for what she believed in , that she found her identity . “ You never know what you ’ re capable of until you test yourself ,” Vail declares .
Since the Miss America Pageant , Vail has been honing in on her marksman skills and has become a major fan of the art of archery . Vail says that archery is a much more “ intimate experience ,” and it wasn ’ t hard for her to become addicted to the feel of a strong bow in her grasp . Vail is currently the host of NRA All Access presented by Franchi on Outdoor Channel , and she stands proudly by the American peoples ’ side , as a supporter of the 2nd Amendment .
“ Being a supporter of the NRA ,” Theresa says , “ means standing with an organization that is fully devoted to protecting our Constitutional Right to Bear Arms . There are no hidden agendas , no secrets to unfold , but simply a group of people who believe in what our Founding Fathers wrote .” Vail is an ambassador for the National Rifle Association , as
well as Bass Pro Shops , and Bowtech .
