Larimer County 4-H Members Compete at Nationals 2024
We are so proud of the Larimer County Shooting Sports members who traveled to Grand Island to participate in the 4-H Nationals Shooting Sports Championships from June 23–28, 2023.
The championships consist of three days of competition for nine disciplines including Air Rifle, Air Pistol, Compound Archery, Muzzleloading, .22 Pistol, .22 Rifle, Hunting/Outdoor Skills, Recurve Archery, and Shotgun. Members are busy all week beginning with equipment check-in, state team pictures, practice time at the ranges, teen socials, and ceremonies. It’s an amazing week for the members and their families!
