4-H shooting sports

Jamboree to be held March 26


Members of the 2021-22 4-H Shooting Sports team excelled in county competition and are heading to state competition on March 26.
Members of the 4-H Shooting Sports project group have been working very hard to learn firearm safety and marksmanship skills.

Competing in either air rifle or BB put their skills to the test during the county 4-H shooting sports contest.

Youth competed in either the air rifle or BB discipline.

Members have been meeting since September and are coached by certified 4-H Shooting Sports volunteers Tim and Tina Phillips and Sandra Calhoun, along with 4-H staff members Breeanna Stanford and Donna Carter.

Top honors in the county 4-H contest included the following.

Air rifle:

• 1st – Samuel Alvis.

• 2nd – Isaac Phillips.

BB:

• Junior Division: 1st – Alice Ogan; 2nd – Will Cavender, 3rd – Sarah Alvis.

• Junior High Division: 1st – Luke Damen; 2nd – Lydia Calhoun; 3rd – Rachel Alvis.
