Description
The Wyoming Game and Fish Department’s Shooting Range Grants program encourages the development and improvement of ranges that provide recreational public shooting. It supports safer, more accessible facilities for people who hunt or participate in shooting sports, as well as places where hunter education students can practice safe firearm and archery handling and complete live-fire exercises.
Projects can include berms, sound baffles, shooting benches and covers, trap and skeet houses, walkways, signage, fencing, and other capital items needed to operate a range. The program also aims to help recruit, retain, or reactivate a diverse audience in hunting and shooting sports.
