Governor Brian Kemp has declared August as Shooting Sports Month in Georgia, recognizing the state’s outdoor heritage and the economic impact of hunting and recreational shooting. The Georgia Department of Natural Resources’ Wildlife Resources Division is encouraging Georgians of all skill levels to celebrate by visiting a public shooting range, learning new shooting skills and practicing firearm safety throughout the month. According to the DNR, Georgia’s shooting sports and hunting industry contributed an estimated $2.7 billion to the state’s economy in 2024 and supports nearly 11,000 jobs. The agency also said Georgia received more than $19.2 million in federal conservation funding in 2025 through the Pittman-Robertson Act.
