4-H Shooting Sports

Young people can build their marksmanship skills as a member of our 4-H Shooting Sports program. We provide a supportive environment in which our members can experience hands-on, fun learning experiences. The program instills a love of outdoor sportsmanship while also teaching safe and responsible handling and use of equipment. 

Share your talents with the next generation!
We are currently looking for additional shooting sports, and Hunting and Outdoor instructors. If you are interested in volunteering or have questions about the program, contact: Coach Bill Peterson @shootyssa@gmail.com or call 309-945-2108.
