The ATA has put over $2,000,000 in grant money, collected from Federal Excise Tax dollars, to good use by brokering partnerships and kickstarting projects that will help identify industry trends, provide easier access to the sport, and increase participation in the sports of archery and bowhunting. Applying for grants helps ensure those FET dollars go back into archery and bowhunting participation efforts. Learn more about how the ATA uses grant funding.
This project with the American Sportfishing Association is ongoing. It seeks to create a live data dashboard that will constantly update hunting license stats so that states and industry members can receive an accurate picture of license sales and data. States can quickly identify trends and respond if necessary.
How ATA Members Benefit: ATA members will learn what the customer market is like in their state so that they can respond accordingly.

The ATA is partnering with state agencies and NGOs to significantly increase the number of urban archery ranges available to the public.
How ATA Members Benefit: Access to a new customer base that will be created by adding shooting ranges, specifically in highly populated areas.
The ATA, in partnership with USA Archery, the Archery Shooters Association and the National Field Archery Association, conducted a report that studied archers’ interest in bowhunting by surveying current target archery tournament participants.
How ATA Members Benefit: By better understanding which R3 message resonated the most effectively with the target archery audience. ATA members can download the report through the Resource Library for free.
The ATA continuously looks for opportunities to assist other industry members in our universal campaign to increase participation in archery and bowhunting.
