Colorado Parks and Wildlife’s Shooting Range Development Grant Program provides matching grants to towns, counties, sportspeople and outdoor recreation organizations, shooting clubs, economic development agencies and others for projects to establish, improve or expand shooting ranges, including archery, across the state.
The Shooting Range Development Grant Program (SRDG) allocates up to $600,000 annually in matching funds through a competitive grant process. To date, the SRDG Program has awarded funding to more than fifty projects throughout Colorado - on the Eastern Plains, along the Front Range and on the Western Slope.
