    On May 10, President Trump signed the Target Practice and Marksmanship Training Support Act into law. This NRA-backed law will help promote firearm safety and training and enjoyment of the shooting sports by freeing up more federal funds for use in public shooting range development and construction....First, the Act reduces the states’ mandatory matching share for a range development project from 25% to 10% (a state, in other words, only needs to provide 10% of the funding, while P-R funds can provide up to 90%).

    It also extends the time a state has to obligate and expend the funds for range development from two fiscal years to five fiscal years.

    Finally, the Act provides a new revenue stream for funding range development. It will allow up to 10% of specified apportionments from the wildlife restoration account to be used for this purpose. These funds were formerly unavailable for range construction, maintenance, or expansion projects.

    WE AS A GROUP NEED TO CONTACT OUR REPRESENTATIVES AND GET THIS ON THE MOVE. Louisiana could use several in strategic locations.
