Shooting Sports
Do you want to learn proper and safe ways to shoot an air rifle, or bow and arrow while growing in communication, leadership, and life skills? Check out the Kansas 4-H shooting sports projects! With ten different 4-H Projects to choose from, you will learn the importance of gun safety and best hunting practices, plus have an opportunity to test your skills.
The disciplines are: Archery, Air Pistol, Air Rifle, BB Gun, Hunting Skills - Muzzleloading, Small Bore Pistol, Small Bore Rifle, Shotgun, and Western Heritage. Each discipline needs a certified local instructor in order to be offered to local county youth.
Adult volunteers who are interested in becoming certified in a discipline please contact the Extension office. In order to remain a state approved and legal shooting sports program, 4-H programs rely on certified instructors and require one shooting sports coordinator.
4-H Shotgun Program
As of the 2025-2026 4-H program year, we currently offer shotgun discipline to Doniphan County 4-H youth. We rely on certified volunteers to instruct youth. Youth must be 10 years and older (4-H program age) to participate in state shotgun matches.
