The Montgomery County 4-H Shooting Sports program has aimed high and hit the target. Over the last ten years, the program has grown in number and interest beginning with a handful of youth shooting trap or archery increasing, this year to 38 youth competing in the state contest.  In fact, this year, the senior archery team placed first in state in compound bare bow competition.  Three other youth placed in the top 3 individual competition in archery and trap.  But championships and winning ways do not happen unless members commit themselves and their time to practice the discipline of their chosen shooting sport and come together as a club to conduct its business, promotes its cause, and serve its community. Young people and parents are looking for positive extracurricular activities that inspire them to achieve a greater degree.  The 4-H way is positive and supportive.  The program provides youth the lessons and opportunities of safety, personal growth, and achievement.  Success breeds success—which is challenging the club to enlist more adults to serve as coaches as the membership roll has grown to over 50 in the new program year.
