Whitetails Unlimited continues to be a strong advocate for the preservation of the shooting sports and is proud to have granted $533,741.97 to shooting sports organizations in the past fiscal year. The grants help fund NASP, USA Clay Target, S3DA, and many other teams around the country, as well as many other shooting sports organizations.

Created to encourage participation in shooting sports and emphasize firearms safety, National Shooting Sports Month will take place throughout the month of August. "We are excited to promote National Shooting Sports Month alongside NSSF," said WTU President Jeff Schinkten. "This is the perfect opportunity for both beginner and experienced shooters to get out on the range and practice for the upcoming hunting season."

Whether you're an experienced target shooter, a hunter, or a person just becoming interested in acquiring a first firearm and learning how to shoot, NSSF and Whitetails Unlimited invite you to head out to the range during National Shooting Sports Month so you can improve your shooting and firearm safety skills.
