  Beginning in January 2023 - The Outdoor Skills Club focuses on archery and shooting sports along with primitive skills such as knot tying, fire building, outdoor cooking, and more.

  In addition, families who are new to archery and shooting sports can set up a one-on-one learning opportunity with Mr. Gus to learn fundamental steps to archery, range safety, and air rifle, and to give children a taste of 4-H and 4-H shooting sports. It helps to build confidence, and families pick which 4-H shooting sports club to join. We meet weekly in the afternoons at the 4-H Archery Range and Outdoor Classroom by appointment only.
