Safety, Knowledge,
Understanding & Skills

Certified volunteer instructors supervise 4-H Shooting Sports Programs. Many hold dual certification with other state and nationally recognized education programs.

Safety is always a primary concern. Youth and adults are trained to know and adhere to the Commandments of firearm safety.

Knowledge about firearms and the natural environment is featured as the volunteers share years of experiences. Skills are developed under the watchful eyes of the instructors. For some, these are new skills. Others improve and practice their techniques.

Understanding is the most important component of the 4-H Shooting Sports Project. It is developed as youth and adults become aware of their rights, responsibilities and their role in the natural environment.

The New Hampshire 4-H Shooting Sports Program will host a workshop to certify volunteer leaders in either archery, black powder, pistol, rifle, shotgun, advanced shotgun or wildlife & hunting. Minimum enrollments are required in order to offer each discipline. Once enrolled as 4-H volunteers, adults will be certified to teach one specific discipline to youth participating in a formal 4-H Shooting Sports Program. All NH 4-H volunteers must complete an orientation with their local county Extension Office before being officially enrolled and it is recommended that volunteers do this before attending this training.
