Statement from the Colorado State 4-H Shooting Sports Program
4-H Shooting Sports is a positive youth development program that serves to educate youth about the safe handling of firearms and archery equipment. Due to recent tragedies involving firearms, some County 4-H Program leadership are receiving questions about this program. If you are contacted for information outside of the typical request of how to join a 4-H club, competition rules, etc., please direct that person to contact the County 4-H Agent. Please do not address any other questions including anything that might mention NRA affiliation, funding, modern sporting rifles or military style assault rifles, etc. and instead refer those to the
County 4-H Agent. You could say something along the lines of, “That’s a topic someone else here can address better than me. Let me have your contact information and I’ll find the right person to get back to you on that.” Thank you.
