Nash described archers, hunters and anglers as the financial keystone for state agencies. \u201cIt goes without saying that without proper funding, conservation efforts wouldn’t survive,\u201d Nash said. \u201cOutdoor recreation opportunities wouldn’t exist. Wildlife populations would go unchecked. This is our \u2014 states, conservation groups and outdoor industries \u2014 purpose and why we exist: to educate people about the magnitude of license and equipment sales on the future of conservation.\u201d<\/p>\n
So far in 2023, over $45 million has been collected via the FET \u2014 and there\u2019s still one more quarter left in this fiscal year! These funds affect an archer\u2019s daily life on many levels. The next time you\u2019re practicing at your favorite outdoor range, or you stop to marvel at a species in the wild you thought was on the decline, know that it\u2019s thanks to the FET, dedicated wildlife agencies and, in part, your purchase of archery equipment.<\/p>\n
Visit an archery range near you to buy your first, or 100th, round of equipment knowing your hard-earned dollars are contributing to countless vital conservation efforts.<\/p>\n
