Wentling: New Grant Program for Sportsmen’s Clubs Accepting Applications

July 11, 2024

HARRISBURG – House Game and Fisheries Committee member Rep. Parke Wentling (R-Mercer) announced today the Pennsylvania Game Commission is now accepting applications for the pilot year of the Pennsylvania Shooting Range Improvement Program. The program will provide funding to increase opportunity, access, and safety at sportsmen’s clubs throughout Pennsylvania.

“Mercer County has plenty of great opportunities to get out and hunt, but our sportsmen’s clubs are vital places for hunters to hone their skills and safety,” Wentling said. “With this funding, I hope our local sportsmen’s clubs can include even more hunters.”

Eligible projects include development and renovation of facilities, construction of backstops and safety berms, addition of permanent target systems, creation of shooting stations and covers, lead remediation and more.

Applications are due Sept. 1. For more information on the program, including the application, click here.
