Shooting Sports Extravaganza - Beginner Match April 17th

The Annual Texas 4-H Shooting Sports Extravaganza will take place at the Texas 4-H Conference Center on Lake Brownwood (http://texas4hcenter.tamu.edu/). This is an event for beginner shooters to learn the processes of shooting competitively. Basic knowledge of firearm safety, range safety, event rules, and event format is required. No previous competitive participation is required. The emphasis is on exploring new shooting activities and having fun. Participants are encouraged to register for events that they have never shot competitively. Space and time limit the event to a maximum of 400 participants. Medals will be awarded to the top five placings per age division in each event. This is not intended to be a match for our top level shooters, but an introduction to competitive shooting for beginners. Advanced shooters are encouraged to participate as coaches or mentors for younger, less experienced shooters. 

Ages: open to grades 3-5, 6-8, and 9-12.
