Mission
The Jackson Hole Shooting Sports Foundation was organized to promote shooting sports education, safety, participation and ethics.

We organize and promote programs and projects designed to foster shooting safety, increase the public’s understanding of recreational shooting sports, promote greater participation in these sports and the development of infrastructure at local shooting facilities.

The JHSSF was founded in 2010 as a 501 c 3 organization. The JHSSF is dedicated to assisting Jackson Hole residents and visitors in their pursuit of shooting related sports. Whether a shotgun enthusiast, an archery big game hunter, a child learning rimfire, a competitive pistol shooter or a rifle shooter, it is our goal to serve you.
