PFSC -WHO ARE WE?
PFSC has been protecting YOUR Second Amendment rights, our Natural Resources and Outdoor Heritage since 1932!
PFSC is the only state-wide sportsmen’s organization with full-time boots on the ground at the Capitol!
PFSC has a long record of successfully protecting your hunting, trapping, fishing and Second Amendment rights – no other group has ever done it or can do it every day of every legislative session!
PFSC members are hunters, trappers, archers, anglers, gun owners, dog owners, and conservationists. While there are many special interest groups representing individual interests, PFSC represents all sportsmen’s interests to make sure you can pursue what you are passionate about! We need your support to help keep PFSC On the Front Lines fighting for you!
Wise sportsmen/women understand the necessity of supporting groups that are going to bat for them. Without representation, YOU will lose your voice in the legislative and regulatory processes.
PFSC protects and supports the purchase of the public lands we hunt and fish on - we cannot do it without your support!
Too many outdoor participants take public lands for granted, take their Second Amendment rights for granted, take political intervention for granted. PFSC needs your support to keep your rights intact!
We are working-class folks whose passion is the great outdoors. We know and share your love of the outdoors, and we fight every day to protect your rights and opportunities. We need your support to keep looking out for sportsmen and women - both financially and with the clout of a large membership base. We need to add you to those membership numbers today!
PFSC holds two semi-annual conferences (March & September), regional (divisions) and county meetings throughout the year, providing an extensive network of hunting and shooting clubs and individuals across Pennsylvania keeping an eye on the issues for you!
PFSC Affiliated Clubs and individual members have a voice on all the issues affecting our outdoor heritage and Second Amendment Rights.
As a member, you will receive regular email updates on the issues YOU CARE ABOUT so you can stay informed.
We need individual members and clubs – Becoming a PFSC member is a step in the right direction to ensure the future of our natural resources, hunting/fishing/trapping heritage and Second Amendment Rights.

"HB 1188 has been signed by the Governor leaving one last step which is waiting to hear from the PA Game Commissioners on what types of Night Vision Optics they will legalize. It has been a long road for me but not without support from the PFSC! A special thanks to Harold Daub who picked up the baton and ran with it for this bill. Thank you for all the appointments you set up with Senators so that I could talk and demonstrate the equipment. I do believe that paved the way for it to fly through Senate. In total, thank you PFSC for the platform, for the support, and for the guidance you provided along the way. I am a proud life member. My gratitude is overflowing!"
