August Is National Shooting Sports Month
For those interested in trying hunting for the first time, we offer introductions to shooting classes.
August is National Shooting Sports Month, and with good reason. Seasoned hunters know that a successful fall hunt starts with keeping your skills sharp over the summer, and there’s no better time to get out and practice your skills.
The DNR manages Wisconsin’s 11 state-owned ranges to provide safe and quality shooting experiences with opportunities to shoot rifles, shotguns and handguns. We also work closely with the National Archery in the Schools program, Scholastic 3D Archery and clay target programs for school-aged youth.
If you’re interested in hunting, we offer introductions to shooting with our partners at the National Deer Association, Pheasants Forever, Raised at Full Draw, Becoming an Outdoors-Woman and Pass-It-On Outdoor Mentors. These initiatives promote safe and enjoyable outdoor recreation, as well as foster a deep appreciation for our rich shooting sports heritage.
National Shooting Sports Month is not just about honing your skills on the range but also about fostering a sense of community and stewardship. By coming together, we can ensure this cherished tradition is preserved for generations to come.
For more information on how to get involved this month and beyond, check out the DNR events calendar.
