Phelps/Gosper 4-H Shooting Sports

The focus of all 4-H programs is the development of youth as individuals and as responsible and productive citizens. The 4-H Shooting Sports Program stands out as an example. Youth learn marksmanship, the safe and responsible use of firearms, the principles of hunting and archery, and much more. The activities of the program and the support of caring adult leaders provide young people with opportunities to develop life skills, self-worth, and conservation ethics.

All youth must be enrolled in 4-H at https://v2.4honline.com BEFORE the first practice.

All youth must be paid in full BEFORE the first practice. (Financial support is offered through the 4-H program. Contact the Extension Office at 995-4222.)

Age of youth is the 4-H age, January 1, of the year of the start of the program.
