The Biden Administration is receiving pushback on a plan that could withhold federal funding in schools that offer archery or hunter education programs. Scholastic hunting education and target shooting programs foster generations of the nation’s safest and most responsible gun owners, Keane said. The National Archery in the Schools Program had 1.3 million students from nearly 9,000 schools across 49 states enrolled last year. Meanwhile, nearly a half-million students are trained and certified in hunter education courses annually, though most are done outside of school hours. But consider that Senator Jon Tester, a Montana Democrat, is also concerned about how the interpretation of the gun law may affect school archery and hunting programs.
