There is something for everyone in the Texas 4-H Shooting Sports program. This project offers education, recreation and competition in Archery, Rifle, Muzzleloading, Shotgun, Pistol, and much more. 4-H and its Shooting Sports program is a great opportunity for children to learn the rules of firearm safety, and proper shooting techniques.
