Empower Public Shooting Range Access in Nebraska with Every Shot

Discover how the Pittman-Robertson Act turns your equipment purchases into vital funding for local shooting ranges.

How Does the Pittman-Robertson Act Benefit You?

Enacted in 1937, the Pittman-Robertson Act channels funds from excise taxes on firearms, archery equipment, and ammunition into wildlife conservation and public shooting range development. These excise taxes are paid by the manufacturers. This essential legislation, supported by the Office of Conservation Investment, partners with state agencies and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to enhance public shooting facilities, ensuring safe, inclusive, and accessible shooting opportunities nationwide.
