County Shoot

For county shoot, the Champion and Reserve Champion ribbons for the first and second-place finishers in each Shooting Sports division will be mailed to club leaders to distribute.

In 2019, we began distributing pins to each 4-H member for taking part in the shoot instead of having medals for the top placings. These were not here in time for county shoots and will be sent to club leaders as well.

State Shoot

We’re not sure about the timeline yet, but ribbons for the top 10 individual placings as well as the top 3 teams for each division at the State Shoot will be coming.

Members should have received their pin for being part of the Larimer County state team on the day of each county shoot.

The results from the 2020 State Shoot have been posted.

Originally results were released by Colorado State 4-H on November 3, 2020. Errors were discovered and revised results were posted on November 5, 2020.

The revisions were to the following divisions:

Archery: Senior Compound Limited
Shotgun: Senior Skeet
.22 Rifle: All divisions

2020 National Qualifiers

The National Qualifiers have been determined based on the 2020 State Shoot placings. Congratulations to all of the Larimer County 4-H Shooting Sports members who have been recognized as qualifiers for 4-H National Shooting Sports in June 2021.

The Clausen Ranch was threatened by the Cameron Peak Fire last weekend. Our Shooting Sports members know it as the location for both .22 Rifle and Muzzleloading practices, and Clausens also hosted the county shoot and state shoot for Air Rifle this year.
