Since 2009 [Hawkey's Dan Frankian](https://www.hawkeye.ca/blog/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=327&Itemid=2210) has been a part of the conference. This year, he delivered a presentation on [pelllet rifles](https://www.hawkeye.ca/blog/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=239&Itemid=411) and their use in bird and wildlife control as it pertains to airports and aviation safety. Dan Frankian is an excellent marksman himself, in fact he is a trained sniper. His talk delved into available 'accessories' such as scopes, blinds, rangefinders to improve shooting accuracy, associated costs, as well as rules about silencers. The [presentation](https://www.hawkeye.ca/blog/images/presentation-bird-strike.pdf) was extremely well received.
