Posted on: Dec 10, 2025

Whitetails Unlimited issued grants totaling $1,122,189 fostering their Staying on Target Program this past fiscal year. Staying on Target grants included those awarded for shooting range development and improvements, safe shooting initiatives, and shooting and archery teams such as NASP, S3DA, and USA Clay Target League.

As an advocate for the preservation of the shooting sports, Whitetails Unlimited is helping build the next generation of shooting sports enthusiasts. Major emphasis is placed on Whitetails Unlimited shooting sports activities including Kids on Target and our shooting team initiative. These initiatives provide youth with an introduction to archery and firearm fundamentals to help nurture a lifelong interest in the shooting sports, and ultimately, hunting.
