Did you know that hunters and target shooters are an important funding
source for developing and maintaining FWC-managed target shooting ranges — as
well as for wildlife management and hunter safety? When hunters purchase
firearms, ammunition and archery equipment, they support the hunting and
shooting sports industry, which pays into the Wildlife and Sportfish
Restoration (WSFR) Program, resulting in millions of dollars to each state. When
hunters purchase a Florida hunting license, they play a major role in this
program because the amount of WSFR funding that comes back to our state for
FWC-managed shooting ranges and wildlife management depends on the number of
hunting licenses issued. So we are grateful to the shooting sports
industry and each and every licensed hunter for their steadfast support of FWC
ranges and wildlife conservation in Florida.
