Summer Youth Shooting Sports Program
Cornell Cooperative Extension of Oswego County still has openings for its Summer Shooting Sports Rifle Program which will be held Thursdays from 6-8 PM, beginning August 24th at North Sportsmans Club, West Monroe. This program is open to all girls and boys ages 12 to 19 who are interested in learning how to shoot a rifle. The program will be conducted as a six-week course concluding with a field day.
Youth do not need to have previous experience or own firearms to participate in this hands-on learning experience. The Oswego County 4-H Program and its instructors, certified through the New York State 4-H Shooting Sports Program, will provide all firearms and necessary equipment. The instructors are volunteers who are chosen for their ability to teach and their skill at relating to youth.
The 4-H Shooting Sports courses will end with a field day in late September. A program fee of $30.00 will be charged to cover the cost of materials as well as eye and ear protection. Partial scholarships are available through a donation from the Oswego County Federation of Sportsmen’s Clubs. There is a maximum class size, therefore, registration is necessary. Parental or guardian permission is mandatory.
The 4-H Shooting Sports Program is valuable for helping youth develop self-confidence, personal discipline, responsibility, teamwork, self-esteem, and sportsmanship. The program also provides a positive experience for youth and promotes firearm safety. Please note the Oswego County Shooting Sports program is not a hunter safety education program.
