Practices

Practice Information

A parent, guardian, or responsible designated adult over the age of 18 is required to be in attendance at all Shooting Sports practices.

Everyone in attendance, not just members, must sign in and out of practices. This is how we make sure everyone is accounted for, and how we track your practice attendance.

No electronics on the shooting line.

Stay on the shooting line until the line is closed.

No caffeine before shooting. It hurts concentration and steadiness.

Observe the 4-H Dress Code and safety/discipline rules as listed in the Larimer County 4-H Shooting Sports Policies and Procedures for 2025.

Follow the 4-H Code of Conduct.
