Outdoor Skills of America is for those who enjoy the outdoors and who wish to pass their knowledge on to others through
learning and participation.

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife started its R3 program to focus on recruitment, retention and reactivation of hunters, anglers and others interested in outdoor pursuits. We at Outdoor Skills of America Inc. believe this program to be well worth supporting.
The goal is to get people more involved in outdoor activities, including but not limited to hunting, archery, fishing, trapping, and shooting sports, and traditional skills such as alternative methods, flint knapping and wildlife identification.
