This grant, established under the Federal Wildlife and Sport Fish Restoration Programs Improvement Act of 2000 (Section 10), addresses a congressional need for enhanced hunter education and shooting range development. Concerns were raised by sportsmen’s organizations regarding inconsistent state efforts and underutilization of potential allotments for these vital programs. To counter this, Section 10 was created, setting aside $7.5 million in its initial years and $8 million thereafter. Specifically for State Fish and Game Agencies, this funding is designed to significantly enhance existing hunter education and shooting range initiatives, ensuring a robust future for hunting and outdoor sports. This grant is for supporting and improving state-level programs that promote firearm and bowhunter safety and expand related facilities.

| Description: | Congress saw a need for additional funds to support hunter education and shooting range development, if States were to meet the challenges of the 21st century. The Congressional Resource Committee had broad support from sportsmen¿s organizations who stated that States were not using their possible allotments to support these programs or there was not a consistent level of effort to further the future of hunting. As a result, Congress passed the Wildlife and Sport Fish Restoration Programs Improvement Act of 2000 and as part of this Act created the Firearm and Bowhunter Education and Safety Program (Section 10) to address these concerns. The passage of Section 10 set aside $7.5 million in 2001 and 2002 and $8 million thereafter to ¿enhance¿ existing hunter education or shooting range programs. |
