During its most recent Commission meeting on May 7, the Idaho Fish and Game Commission approved roughly $280,000 to help improve several Idaho shooting ranges.
Thanks in large part to hunter education funds, Fish and Game has historically awarded grants to shooting ranges. This year, Fish and Game awarded grants to 15 shooting range facilities, totaling $281, 335 to be spent in the 2027 fiscal year.
Fish and Game received 17 applications in total — including 33 projects — for a grand total of $673,485.66. From those projects, 19 were selected and ultimately approved thanks in part to Fish and Game’s Citizen Advisory Committee. The committee came together virtually back in January and February to help whittle down spending. Typically, multi-phase projects and ADA improvements get priority.
