Discover how a simple day at the range can ignite a lifelong passion for hunting and wildlife conservation.
In this “snackable” edition of On the Wing podcast, host Bob St. Pierre sits down with PF & QF’s Hunting Heritage Program Manager Ashley Chance to explore how target shooting creates the next generation of hunters and conservationists. Through six fast facts, they unpack why a few broken clays can lead to deeper engagement in the outdoors—from building shooting confidence to supporting wildlife habitat funding through the Pittman-Robertson Act.
Ashley shares insights from recent research showing how women and new shooters are changing the face of recreational shooting and how those changes are strengthening the future of conservation. The discussion also highlights the surprising role of non-hunting firearm sales in funding for habitat restoration and public access programs across the country.
Whether you’re introducing someone to upland bird hunting, mentoring at the clay range, or brushing up on your marksmanship ethics, this episode is a must-listen for hunters who care about the long-term future of conservation and outdoor traditions.
