PLEASE REMEMBER…it’s important to check in and out at Shooting Sports practices!

Check-in sheets are a safety measure to account for everyone in attendance. But it’s also how we log your practices. A minimum of 4 practices is required to be eligible for county shoots—if you don't check in, the practice DOES NOT count.

PRINT the name of each 4-H Shooting Sports member participating on a separate line. Then print the parent/guardian’s name and the total number of people in your group, including parents, siblings, guests, etc. We must be able to read your name to log your attendance!

Weld County 4-H is hosting its Shooting Sports Invitational on June 7–8, 2025. Larimer County 4-H members can compete in the disciplines in which they are enrolled.

This is a great opportunity to get experience at a competition that will be similar to county shoot and state shoot!

Read the poster thoroughly for all of the details!
