PARTNERS & FRIENDS

Arizona Outdoor Sports has been fortunate enough to receive incredible support and partnership from local and international organizations. Here are some of the heroes of our program:

Amateur Trapshooting Association

Arizona Cattle Growers' Association

The Arizona Cattleman Growers' Association is seldom given credit for the huge amount of help they provide in maintaining Arizona's wildlife population. Arizona cattle ranches are 90% owned by multi-generational families maintaining a heritage livelihood. As the needs of cattle on a range are satisfied by the ranches, the needs of wildlife are also filled. Ranchers create and maintain water sources and preserve land habitats for cattle, but their livestock are not the only benefactors of a rancher's work; game animals and migratory birds also profit from these efforts.

Arizona Game & Fish

Here is a great website for families with students wanting to learn more about shotgun shooting in a state-administered program. The AZGFD runs over 20 very popular Scholastic Clay Target Program teams around the state. https://www.azgfd.com/Shooting/Scholastic/

Here is the site for Arizona information on the various types of Hunter Education being offered around the state. We graduated over 250 students so far this year. https://www.azgfd.com/education/hunting/

We team up with AZ Game and Fish and other groups on a number of youth hunting opportunities around the state. http://www.azgfd.gov/h_f/hunting.shtml

If you want a taste of everything from shooting to hiking to hunting to fishing and more, there is an annual recreation expo. Be prepared to spend at least one day, but know you still can't see it all. Here you will be able to learn all there is to know and view/experience/purchase any piece of outdoor gear you can imagine!

Arizona Sportsmen for Wildlife Conservation

Arizona Sportsmen for Wildlife Conservation has been a source of support for our activities and funding for several game camps. This very committed nonprofit group spends enormous energy in several areas.

First, AZSFWC maintains contact with elected representatives and AZGFD management. Second, AZSFWC members are informed of governmental actions being taken or considered, in order to quickly and effectively advocate on behalf of both sportsmen and wildlife prior to the execution of legal or legislative action. Lastly, AZSFWC provides the funding necessary to conduct outdoor conservation-related activities. A major source of this funding is the sale of the Arizona ""Conserving Wildlife"" license plate. See below for more.

Arizona State Trapshooting Association

California Department of Fish & Wildlife

Occasionally, our students or their families participate in hunting camps on the border between Arizona and California. The CDFW has provided hunting licenses for some of these families in accordance with state laws.

Friends of Cibola

Located in the SW corner of Arizona, Cibola National Wildlife Refuge is a must see for everyone and anyone. Consisting of 18,444 acres this beautiful hidden desert gem has something to see throughout the year.

The Friends of Cibola have partnered with USF&W and Arizona Outdoor Sports to provide outstanding hunting opportunities and camps for our athletes. Their unyielding commitment to ensuring Cibola NWR remains a wonderful natural resource also allows our athletes to enjoy the refuge annually during hunting season.

Healy Arms

Healy Arms is an active supporter of our youth outdoor activities by sharing our message and offering help to members and friends seeking information on new
firearms.

Hunting Works

Hunting Works for Arizona exists to promote the strong economic partnership between the hunting & shooting communities and the local economy of Arizona.

Wildlife Conservation License Plate

By purchasing this plate you will be making a contribution to Arizona’s wildlife and wildlife habitat. Seventeen dollars ($17) of each twenty-five ($25) special license fee will go to AZSFWC’s L. Gary Stinson Grant Fund. The AZSFWC will review and approve all grants from the special license plate program revenues. These grants will fund important on-the-ground wildlife habitat restoration and enhancement projects as well outdoor recreational and educational opportunities that promote conservation.
