There are two Instructor Training’s announced for those who would like to be more involved in our 4H SAFETY, shooting sports program. One is local, West Point, and the other is in Lumberton, MS which is south of Hattisburg. It looks like they are going to offer all disciplines at this time. There is an online segment that needs to be completed, preferably before in person training, but can be completed within an allotted time after. There are never enough instructors when it comes to running a youth shooting sports program. I would love to have at least 4 or 5 certified instructors on each discipline and would take more. If you are a parent who is already hanging out at the range with your son/daughter during 4H shooting practice; please consider getting trained and helping us improve our program offering. Right now we have the following active instructors: Archery – 3, Hunting -1, Muzzleloading -1, Pistol/ Air Pistol- 2 Rifle/Air Rifle -1, and Shotgun -2. While those numbers may look good, several of them are 1 person certified in multiple disciplines (myself in archery, muzzleloading, and Shotgun for example) and you can only be in one place at a time.
I have attached all the info that I have on both training offerings below. I could only attach so much to this post. Please consider joining us officially as a certified instructor and help us offer a stronger program for our youth. Please get with Laura Reed or myself with any questions or concerns on this. Also, you must be a certified volunteer prior to going to training; so get by the Extension Office and get your volunteer paperwork started ASAP.
