PARTICIPATION STATISTICS

The National Shooting Sports Foundation has a multitude of research on participation trends in hunting, target shooting, archery and related outdoor categories. For a list of reports please see our "Research Publications" page.

• American Sports Data, Inc.: SUPERSTUDY of Sports Participation
• National Sporting Goods Association:Shooting Sports Participation Report
• Sporting Goods Manufacturers Association: Sports Participation Top-line Report
• U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service: National Survey of Fishing, Hunting and Wildlife-Association Recreation

Recreational shooting sports and hunting continue to rank high in the outdoor category for participation and gross dollars spent on equipment. In fact, more Americans hunt and target shoot than go skiing or canoeing and kayaking combined.
