Actually shooting a firearm is not a requirement in this project. This is a beginning-level, one-time project for members who have an adult to supervise their shooting.

The Ohio 4-H Shooting Sports program teaches young people the safe and responsible use of shooting sports equipment, including the fundamentals of firing air guns, .22 caliber and muzzle loading rifles, pistols, shotguns, archery equipment, and crossbows; the basic principles of hunting; and the value of studying historic lifestyles and heritage crafts. The 4-H Shooting Sports program is only administered through Ohio 4-H certified shooting sports instructors, and members may only take shooting sports projects if their instructor has been certified in that specific discipline. Franklin County 4-H members interested in taking a shooting sport project have two options:
Join the Franklin County Shooting Sports 4-H Club by contacting Sharla at sharla.house@gmail.com (preferably by February of the upcoming 4-H year)
If you already belong to a Franklin County 4-H club and would like to take a shotgun, rifle, pistol, or archery project, please contact Dave at integradeer@gmail.com. Dave offers shooting sports instruction from March through June at a shooting location in Plain City, Ohio.
