Council to Advance Hunting and the Shooting Sports

National Hunting and Shooting Sports Action Plan: Due to the efforts of the Council and its partners, the National R3 Plan is now a guiding concept on R3 within the conservation commuity. Today more than ever there is a clear and intense interest in enhancing particiation in hunting and shooting sports at a national level. This interest is evident at the state level too, as many states are beginning to develop robust and expanded partnerships which span industry, NGOS, and other state entities. The development of state R3 strategies is showing great promise and the spirit of cooperation exhibited among staff at all levels of state and federal wildlife agencies, NGOS and industry is quite impressive.

Membership Services: The Council offers many services to its state fish and wildlife agency members. The Council is engaged in the promotion and implementation of the National Hunting & Shooting Sports action plan; the growth of the National R3 community; the expansion of the Councils communication efforts and brand; the continuation of partnerships created by Council staff.
