Archery
Rensselaer County 4-H is happy to announce that it will be starting an Archery Club to be led by two of our county Shooting Sports volunteers. Details for the club will come out soon, and we are currently registering members who are interested. The club will focus on a variety of archery related topics including: archery shooting, arrow repair, bow building, and primitive skills. This club is open to all youth 8 and above, and space is limited.
Youth Shotgun Training
Rensselaer County 4-H Shooting Sports is hosting a basic shotgun training for youth on June 20 from 8 am to 12 pm at the Green Island Rod and Gun Club in Schaghticoke. The course focuses on firearm safety and operation, and building skills for successful shotgun shooting. Participants must be 12 years old or older and have an adult partner for the training. Cost is $20 per youth/adult partner. Firearms, targets, and ammunition will be provided. Space is limited, and limited scholarships are available.
If you are interested in either of these programs or to register, please call the Rensselaer County 4-H office at 518-272-4210 or e-mail Leland Bunting at glb76@cornell.edu.
4-H is offered through Cornell Cooperative Extension. Cornell Cooperative Extension is an employer and educator recognized for valuing AA/EEO, Protected Veterans, and Individuals with Disabilities and provides equal program and employment opportunities.
