This year, participants only need to complete the form once for the 2025 - 2026 practice period. Printed out copies will be available at each practice, but the form is available below for review. Please do not complete and send electronically, as we are unable to print the form out at the location.

Parents and youth are asked to review each discipline as to the participant’s responsibility for appropriate supplies in the 2025 State Match Handbook. Classes are taught by certified instructors and volunteers. It is up to the participant to attend practice and pay for any additional expenses that may occur.
Disciplines offered:
Volunteers play a critical part of the entire 4-H Program and Shooting Sports is no different. Volunteers become positive role models for youth while teaching about environmental ethics, outdoor recreation, and personal safety. In order to become a certified Shooting Sports Instructor you must complete required training in the respective discipline. Contact Megan Plattsmier for more information about becoming a volunteer.
