Five of our Larimer County 4-H Shooting Sports members are checking in for the National 4-H Shooting Sports Championships in Grand Island, Nebraska today.

• Charlotte Mick, Air Rifle

• Carter Lyle, Recurve Archery

• Walker Cameron, .22 Pistol

• Nate Rogers, .22 Pistol

• Nicholas Freeland, .22 Rifle

Colorado 4-H is sending four team members per discipline to participate in three days of competition and meet 4-H members from across the country. Shoot straight, Colorado 4-H!

As previously announced, we have received word that the 2021 Colorado State 4-H Shooting Sports Championships will be conducted using an alternate format similar to that used in 2020. State shoot will not be a centralized event hosted in Pueblo and Colorado Springs at the end of the summer. Instead, 4-H members who qualify will compete at a scheduled shoot at the local county level. Targets and scorecards will be submitted so that results can be compiled at the state level.

“The decision to follow the alternate format for 2021 will allow for all counties to begin planning for State Championships activities earlier. Even with the easing of COVID-19 restrictions, there are still many variables and unknowns that must be considered regarding the status of State, County, and University COVID-19 guidelines at the end of August. These variables and unknown factors may have significant impacts on the ability of County and State programs to coordinate and deliver an event(s) the size and scope of the Colorado State 4-H Shooting Sports Championships. Therefore, following the alternate format for the 2021 Colorado State 4-H Shooting Sports Championships will help to ensure that all 4-H members who are eligible to compete in the State Championships have the opportunity to do so. Counties will be encouraged to work together to coordinate alternate format State Championships events. More information regarding the 2021 State 4-H Shooting Sports Championships alternate format will be shared as it becomes available in the near future.”
