    The Forever Shooting Sports program was founded as a result of a partnership between Midway USA and Pheasants Forever in 2011. Forever Shooting Sports is a Pheasants Forever program as funding and other resources are raised to support youth shooting programs within their “No Child Left Indoors” initiative. Midway USA also contributes a great deal of financial resources to our program and to other wonderful shooting programs across the United States. The shooting and hunting industry understand that today's youth are the future of our sport and we enjoy tremendous support from the hunting and shooting industry. Chapters, parents, and volunteers who organize and run the programs on the local and state level are the true heroes of this program, without them we have nothing. Any successful youth program will always have a few dedicated passionate folks working in a leadership and guidance role. The amount of time, energy, and financial resources that these dedicated volunteers contribute to the program is staggering. However, when you meet the young athletes that the program produces, you will understand quickly why it’s worth it and why they do what they do. The participants in Forever Shooting Sports programs are the future leaders and conservations of our industry. Welcome, and please feel free to support our efforts in any way possible. Forever Shooting Sports.....Shooting for Something Better!

    Pheasants Forever is dedicated to the conservation of pheasants, quail and other wildlife through habitat improvements, public awareness, education and land management policies and programs.A Unique ModelAt the heart of Pheasants Forever is the unique grassroots system of fundraising and project development that allows members to see the direct result of their contributions. Pheasants Forever and its quail division, Quail Forever, empower county and local chapters with the responsibility to determine how 100 percent of their locally raised conservation funds will be spent - the only national conservation organization that operates through this truly grassroots structure. As a result, chapter volunteers are able to see the fruits of their efforts locally, while belonging to a larger national organization with a voice on federal and state conservation policy.
