.22 Rifle Early County Shoot Date on June 24
22 Rifle Icon.png

County shoot for .22 Rifle is scheduled for July 14. We know that schedules can sometimes get busy and will be offering an early county shoot opportunity during our regular practice on June 24 at 12:30 p.m. Eligibility requirements will be the same—members must have completed 4 practices and have their hunter safety card uploaded to 4Honline.com prior to the shoot.

This opportunity is primarily designed for those members who are shooting 4 rifle classes plus muzzleloader, or those who have other 4-H project events on July 14, so that they may be able to complete all their 4-H work at this busy time of the year. Since we do not begin until 12:30 on Sundays, we are only planning on 2 relays that day.

If you are needing to participate in the June 24 early shoot or have any questions about anything please contact Sam Webb by June 20 so that targets and leaders may plan for the day. 

Record Book and Project Workshops

You are invited to attend the Shooting Sports Project and Record Book Workshops to help prepare you for County Fair. We encourage you to attend if you are new to 4-H shooting sports, do not have a shooting sports project leader in your club, or would like to kickstart your preparation for the Fair.

Our goal is to make sure you know how to complete your record book, to understand project boards and stand-alone projects, and what to expect on Interview Day.

Here are the details:

  • June 13, 6:30 p.m. at the McKee Building in the Fort Collins Room: We’ll be going through the record book page by page to understand how to fill it out, go through guidelines for project boards and stand-alone projects. There will also be an assortment of older members’ project boards and stand-alone projects to examine. If you have started your record book, bring that for review and help.

  • July 18, 6:30 p.m. at the McKee Building in the Estes Park Room: Bring your in-progress record books (or computers) and project boards (with supplies) for a hands-on work night. Get them polished and ready to turn in at Fair! We'll also talk about Interview Judging/Project Check-in Day!

Questions? Please feel free to contact Sam Webb at sammyjwebb@gmail.com.
