2025 4-H Shooting Sports Payment Registration
The focus of all 4-H programs is the development of youth as individuals and as responsible, productive citizens. The Illinois 4-H Shooting Sports program stands out as an example. Youth learn marksmanship, safety & responsibility, discipline, good sportsmanship, and much more. The activities of the program and support of caring adult leaders provide young people with opportunities to develop life skills, self-worth, and conservation ethics. The disciplines are modeled after the National 4-H Shooting Sports Program and are administered by certified-state leaders consisting of extension personnel and volunteers.
