I just spent April 8, 9, &10, 2005 getting certified to be a 4-H Shooting Sports coordinator. I plan on certifying in archery and my husband in shotgun in September. This is a new club in our area.
I want to know what you would like taught to 4th - 12th grade boys and girls other than the obvious safety stuff. We will be teaching archery, shotgun, and rifle. We will teach everything from target shooting to hunting. We will NOT teach anything that insinuates shooting at other human beings such as paint ball. I would like to include more than just safety though. I want them to be welcomed by the general public. I plan on including things such as respecting propery, getting permission, etc. I also need ideas for community service projects. Had the kids waiting tables for the Pheasants Forever banguet but need other ideas. Want to mix it up some to keep the kids interested. I am interested in ALL ideas. I want to make this an outstanding club. Thank you for all help you can give me!
