Firearm safety and responsible handling and use are key factors of this program.
There are five different shooting disciplines and many different opportunities in each of those five. The disciplines are: Rifle, which includes Smallbore and Air Rifle. Shotgun, comprised of Trap and Skeet. Pistol, offering a variety of calibers and contests. Archery, which encompasses Compound, Barebow, and others. Muzzle loading/black powder is also an option. Hunting and Wildlife events, as well as weekly and/or monthly competitions can be found within this Project area using one or more of these disciplines.
The Texas 4-H Shooting Sports project also offers an Ambassador program for kids in grades 8th-12th. This program is designed to promote the Shooting Sports project and grow involvement. It teaches kids public speaking skills and provides opportunities to serve at Shooting Sports related events.
