Hunter Education

Hunter education is NOT required to take part in Shooting Sports in Larimer County 4-H. Members can participate in practices and county shoots without having a hunter education card. However, to be eligible to compete at the state competition, participants must submit their hunter education card before the July 1, 2022 deadline.

We encourage all Shooting Sports members to get their hunter education card. We will be hosting an Internet Conclusion Course (the in-person portion) on March 26–27, 2022 for those who have completed the online portion of the course. You can read more and register for the courses by visiting Colorado Parks & Wildlife’s site here: https://cpw.state.co.us/learn/Pages/HunterEducation.aspx.
