The 4-H Shooting Sports Program promotes Youth Development through participation in the shooting disciplines of Rifle, Pistol, Shotgun, Muzzleloader, Archery, and Crossbow. Hunting & Wildlife and Living History also fall under the 4-H Shooting Sports umbrella. These differ from traditional 4-H projects in that they require a member to take the project under the direction of a shooting sports club that includes state certified shooting sports instructors. We have 15 awesome certified instructors on our team!

Parents, during the Month of Love, we often think of exchanging Valentines with our youngsters. Although that is a fantastic way to express our love for our children, I was thinking perhaps we could put into practice the old adage that “Children spell love: T-I-M-E!” You can create a delicious Fruit Pizza that is so easy children of any age can help! And since February is also American Heart Month, we can be heart healthy by eating lots of fresh fruits together as a family.
