Theresa Vail

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.
