pheasants forever's "forever shooting sports" program

Pheasants Forever’s “Forever Shooting Sports” program aims to create shooting sports opportunities and serve as a gateway into conservation and outdoor recreation of all types. Since creating the No Child Left Indoors® initiative, Pheasants Forever has been working to create even more dynamic youth programs that engage both kids and their families. We have taken the next step.  By partnering with other local conservation groups, we are able to provide multiple FREE events so young people and their families have additional opportunities to get outdoors. 

We believe a shooting sports program can help us fulfill our youth mission of actively engaging them in outdoor activities and in learning about nature and conservation in order to foster tomorrow’s leaders and conservation-minded citizens.

Our commitment:

• Get kids outside having fun and learning firsthand about our natural resources
• Introduce young people to outdoor recreation and teach them to be safe, ethical sportspeople
• Develop leaders and conservation-minded citizens who are service oriented
• Make habitat a priority and let young people get their hands dirty
• Partner with others to spread the word on opportunities and places to enjoy the outdoors

Stay tuned for updates on our upcoming youth events!

The St. Louis/Carlton County Chapter of Pheasants Forever was honored with a National Pheasants Forever “Young Guns” designation for our dedication to providing FREE outdoor opportunities for area youth.  We have a trailer full of equipment that we can bring to any range or location and host a youth event.

Are you with another organization? Scouts? YMCA? 4H? etc?  We gladly partner with these and other organizations to support both shooting sports and outdoor programming.  Let us bring our equipment, supplies, and experts to your kids – at no charge.

If you are interested in volunteering or setting up a youth event, please contact our Youth Director, David Lood, at: youthdirector@stlouiscarltoncountypf.org or 218-348-8332.
