Registration for the 2014 Hunting & Wildlife
Leader/Coach Trainings will open on 4-H Connect Thursday!
4-H Hunting & Wildlife is a 4-H Shooting Sports
discipline and much more. During the 4-H Shooting Sports State Games each
summer, youth can register to participate in this discipline that offers live
firing events as well as interactive events that challenge the knowledge and
skills of the contestant. The live firing events are designed to simulate as
closely as possible the type of shooting one would do in a hunting field rather
than on a shooting range.
One design of this training is to prepare an adult leader to
coach youth in the Hunting & Wildlife Shooting Sports discipline and
certify them to train their youth to safely and responsibly use the four
firearms (shotgun, smallbore rifle, muzzle loading rifle, and bow) in live
firing situations. The training is also designed for any Adult Volunteer Leader
wishing to work with their local youth in a hunting or wildlife project or a
combination of the two.
Any actively enrolled Adult Volunteer Leader, Extension
employee, or senior 4-H youth is eligible for this training. Actively enrolled
youth who have reached age 14 by September 1 of the current 4-H year may participate
in a training as an Assistant Coach/Leader Candidate. Please Note: to be
eligible to become a fully Certified Coach in the Hunting & Wildlife
Shooting Sports discipline, you must be minimum 21 years of age or older.
Detailed information will be available soon via the Texas
4-H Natural Resources website and blog.
