Youth Shooting Sports organizes tonight

 The 4-H Shooting Sports program will hold an organizational meeting at 6:30 p.m., tonight at the Crittenden County Extension office.  An adult or guardian must attend the organizational meeting.

Shooting Sports is open to any boy orgirl between the ages of 9 and 18.  Enrolment in Shooting Sports can be the first experience in 4-H for a child.

Local leader Carolyn Belt explains that there are 13 different disciplines included in the program such as Shotgun (12 and 20 gauge), Rifle (.22 cal. bolt action, air and BB), and Archery (compound bare and recurve, bowhunter and target) but there must be a certified coach in that area for it to be available locally.

All volunteers in the program must undergo a background check and certified coaches must attend statewide training.
