Please be aware that there are now only 4 practices before the county shoot!

• May 4

• May 18

• June 8

• July 6

Keep in mind that all participants must attend a minimum of four Larimer County 4-H practices to participate in the County Shoot. (If a member is participating in both .22 Rifle and Air Rifle, the youth may opt to attend two practices in each discipline rather than four in each. This does NOT apply to practices for any other discipline.)

If you have any questions, please contact the key leaders.

The south, main entrance to The Ranch will be closed during working hours on Tuesday, April 11 and possibly Wednesday, April 12. The entrance should be open in the evenings, but if not, you can enter the grounds from either Clydesdale Parkway or Andalusian Drive.
