This program is open to all girls and boys ages 10 to 19 who are interested in archery. The course is being held at the North Sportsman’s Club in West Monroe on Fridays, June 14th, 21st, 28th, July 12th and 19th. There are two sessions: 5:45 - 7:00 p.m. for youth 10 to 12 and 7:15 - 8:30 p.m. for 13 to 19 years of age.
The 4-H Shooting Sports Program provides a positive experience for youth and promotes firearm safety. The program is also valuable for helping youth develop self confidence, personal discipline, responsibility, teamwork, self-esteem, and sportsmanship. The Oswego County Shooting Sports Programs are not hunter safety education programs.
Previous experience or firearm ownership is not necessary for youth to participate in this hands-on learning experience. The Oswego County 4-H Program and its instructors, certified through the New York State 4-H Shooting Sports Program, will provide all firearms and necessary equipment. The instructors are volunteers who are chosen for their ability to teach and their skill at relating to youth.
A program fee of $30.00 will be charged to cover the cost of materials and eye and ear protection. Partial scholarships are available through a donation from the Oswego County Federation of Sportsman’s Clubs. Space is limited; therefore, registration is necessary, and parental or guardian permission is mandatory. Youth can register to participate by completing the online registrations at https://reg.cce.cornell.edu/2024ArcheryOswego4H_235 for Archery.
