After much discussion among Colorado State 4-H Shooting Sports Championship superintendents, it has been determined that the updated version of the Crossman Challenger air rifle model #CH 2021, is not eligible for 4P Air Rifle classes. It does not meet the conventional sporter rifle design that is outlined in the rule book.
Potential updates and edits such as the description of eligible air rifles will be reviewed by the Colorado State 4-H Shooting Sports Advisory Committee this fall and any edits or changes to the rules will be reflected after that time.
It’s been a great year, and it’s time to celebrate with some FUN!
Join us for a fun shoot on Thursday, July 25 at 6:00 p.m. at the practice field east of the McKee Building.
Family members are invited to join their archers! Either bring your bow or try your hand at archery using county equipment. Please remember that this is still a 4-H practice, and all 4-H rules and regulations apply.
All archers who are not enrolled in 4-H Archery will be required to fill out a liability waiver. And only those 4-H age 8 and older are allowed to participate.
County shoots are underway and we hope everyone is having fun shooting and getting ready for county fair. We have a few dates and items to share.
Reminder: Larimer County 4-H Shooting Sports Shirts
Every year we have a special Larimer County Shooting Sports Shirt to celebrate and support our Shooting Sports program. Shirts are available for all Larimer County 4-H families and friends to order. This shirt is not required for state team members but is a fun way to show your Larimer County spirit.
All orders must be placed by 9:00 p.m. on Monday, July 22. (No late orders will be accepted.)
