Do I have to live in Chandler to participate in Chandler Hot Shots 4-H Shooting Club? 

No, you don't have to live in Chandler. We serve youth from all over Maricopa County but mainly in the East Valley including Chandler, Mesa, Gilbert, Ahwatukee, Phoenix, Tempe, and Scottsdale. If you live in Maricopa County and are willing to travel where we shoot, you can participate. 

Can I bring my own firearm or bow to the meetings? 

We do encourage practicing with your own firearm, if you have it. It isn’t necessary to have your own equipment. We can provide it. However, if you decide to bring your own CASED gun to the meetings, please reach out to Jon at 480-200-0247 or Paul at 559-289-5676 beforehand to go over the details required.

How do parents get involved? 

To protect our youth, 4-H has strict rules about other parents helping our members. To get certified and become a vetted volunteer,  Arizona 4-H Shooting Sports facilitates a training 2 times a year to get certified in any of the disciplines. However, before you attend a training, you will need to get fingerprint clearance card, background checked and volunteer certified by 4-H. To get more info, ask a volunteer leader. 

4-H Shooting Sports takes a team of willing parents, volunteers and instructors to make this happen. If you have a desire to help administratively, please reach out too. 

I have a family member or friend that wants to make a donation or sponsor CHS, where should we lead them? 

Look at the sponsor tab on our site or talk to a leader.
