The CMP annually supports 4-H Shooting Sports. Below are Thank Yous from State 4-H Shooting Sports Coordinators. Successful 4-H Shooting Sports Coach’s Workshop. In March 2013, the Kentucky 4-H Shooting Sports Educational Program hosted another three-day certification workshop for teen and adult volunteers who wish to offer their time and talents to this youth program. At its conclusion, 119 volunteers were successful in becoming certified coaches. They will return to their counties where they will provide quality instruction and supervision to our 4-H shooting sports club members, ages 9 to 18. The workshops are offered twice a year for teens and adults who wish to become involved in the program or who wish to become certified in additional disciplines. These important volunteer coaches log in over 24,000 hours annually working with approximately 10,000 youth in seven disciplines. Funds to continue to offer this training are secured through donations from organizations such as the Civilian Marksmanship Program (CMP). Our 4-H Shooting Sports program exists because of the dedication of these volunteers and the contributions of organizations such as CMP.
4-H Shooting Sports remains one of the most popular projects offered in Oklahoma and currently has an enrollment in excess of 5,000 members statewide with more than 500 active shooting sports instructors. The goal of all 4-H programs is youth development. Decision making, teamwork, problem solving, being responsible and having high self-esteem are just a few of the many skills 4-H helps to develop to enable youth to be productive and positive adults in our society. The 4-H Youth Development Shooting Sports Program involves youth who have an interest in shooting sports and welcomes them into an accepting, caring group. The first thing they learn is safety, quickly followed by discipline and respect (respect for firearms as well as respect for people). Youth are not permitted to use the firearm until they prove they can handle those three prerequisites. Major Highlights for 2012: * 6 discipline teams represented Oklahoma at the National 4-H Invitation * 3 Shooting Sports Certification workshop * Began research project to evaluate the economic impact of the Oklahoma 4-H Shooting Sports Program * State 4-H Foundation created Dollar for Dollar Matching Programs, of which one is intended to provide financial support to teams attending the National Shooting Sports Invitational. Funds received through CMP are used to offset certification cost and to purchase target and equipment utilized at state contests. The WY 4-H Shooting Sports will use the funds to help support our state shooting event. In 2012 the event was attended by nearly 650 youth from all across Wyoming. They competed in .22 rifle and pistol, Air rifle and pistol, shotgun, muzzleloading, and archery in various categories contained in each discipline. |
