Families Afield

The Youth Hunting Report shows youth hunters are the safest hunters in the woods when accompanied by an adult. The NWTF has led the charge in promoting youth hunting opportunities and has teamed up with the U.S. Sportsmen's Alliance and the National Shooting Sports Foundation to remove youth hunting barriers across the nation. Report findings were peer reviewed for statistical validity by the Triad Research Group. Download your copy of the Youth Hunting Report here.

While we've made progress through Families Afield, the job is far from done. For this reason, we've developed tools to help others understand the importance of Families Afield. Below are PDF files containing tips for implementing Families Afield legislation/regulations as well as language for what we would consider "model" legislation.
