Photos From November 4th Archery Session

4hss_logoHere are a few photos from the November 4th practice at the Back Creek Valley Bow and Gun Club.  We had a banner turn-out with 11 members in attendance.

Due to the waning daylight, we elected to practice on the indoor range. Brian and Dickie started the kids out by working with the kids on basic archery skills. The kids were having a such a good time with archery that we ran out of time for rifle practice.

Many thanks to Keith Knotts who supplied some nice gear bags as prizes for the kids.

Photos from July 22nd Practice

4hss_logoSummer is upon us! Here are a few photos from the July 1st practice at the Back Creek Valley Bow and Gun Club. The kids started with a bit of rifle practice on the indoor range before moving outdoors to the rifle range. Alan and Bonnie led the rifle portion of the practice, primarily using the slings. Kevin, Dickie, and Brian worked with the kids on archery skills. Using a few dollar bills as incentives, the kids tried their best to pop some ballons… when the bugs weren’t biting, that is.

Brian Atkins of the Berkeley County 4-H Shooting Sports Club of Hedgesville, West Virginia helps Olivia Dutton of the Rocky Ridge 4-H Club of Frederick, Maryland with her archery skills. Volunteers from West Virginia, Virginia, Delaware and Maryland met at the Thendara 4-H Center outside of Hurlock for certification and training in the 4-H Shooting Sports. Adult volunteers had their choice to be certified in either archery, rifle, shotgun or air pistols during the three days of training. On Sunday 4-H’ers from throughout the state of Maryland came to the center to work with the newly trained volunteers, some experiencing shooting sports for the first time. There are more than 300,000 youth nationwide involved in the 4-H shooting sports program.
