Shooting Education
Point Youth in the Right Direction
The 4-H Shooting Education program uses shooting as a vehicle to help young people ages 9 to 19 develop life skills such as discipline, responsibility, and leadership. The following shooting disciplines are offered to teach 4-H members these life skills:
- Archery
- Muzzleloading
- Pistol
- Rifle
- Shotgun
Through these disciplines, youth learn firearm safety and basic marksmanship fundamentals. To find out if there is a 4-H Shooting Education Club near you, follow this link to your local county Extension office http://www.ext.vt.edu/offices/index.html .
