This 4-H Shooting Sports Club was formed in 2007. It is affiliated with the NRA (National Rifle Association) and the CMP (Civilian Marksmanship Program). The club has equipment provided by the Iron County Extension Office and equipment purchased with generous grants from the NRA Foundation and Friends of NRA supplemented by the help of Hurst Ace Hardware of Cedar City and Sportsman's Warehouse of St. George. We welcome your tax-deductible donation of funds which will be used to purchase additional needed shooting sports equipment and supplies.
Goals and objectives of the club include the advancement of firearm safety and the instruction of shooting skills among the youth in Iron County, Utah. Activities to achieve these goals include Utah Hunter Education courses, regular club meetings with classroom and range shooting training, shooting competition, and the NRA Marksmanship Qualification Program. The club will also offer clinics to qualified youth and adults to train and certify new NRA instructors.
The shooting sports we include in our calendar are small-bore rifle, air rifle, small-bore pistol, air pistol, shotgun, muzzleloading, archery, reloading, and hunting.
The club is supervised by the club manager / instructor (an NRA certified instructor, NRA training counselor, and Utah Hunter Education Instructor) and assisted by club youth leaders and by parents of club members.
