4-H shooting sports

Jamboree to be held March 26


Members of the 2021-22 4-H Shooting Sports team excelled in county competition and are heading to state competition on March 26.

Members have been meeting since September and are coached by certified 4-H Shooting Sports volunteers Tim and Tina Phillips and Sandra Calhoun, along with 4-H staff members Breeanna Stanford and Donna Carter.

Top honors in the county 4-H contest included the following.

Air rifle:
