Re: Youth Instruction

4-H offers shooting sports programs in several different disciplines -- rifle, pistol, shotgun, black powder/muzzle loading, archery and hunting & wildlife. Touch base with your county extension office to see if there are 4-H clubs in your area that offer these programs -- shooting sports is one of the only areas where the leaders/coaches must attend specific training, and this is for each of the disciplines. There is an opportunity here not only for your son, but for you as well if you wish to volunteer and become a coach.

4-H Shooting Sports is ALL about marksmanship. There will never be any targets representing a person in any 4-H practice or event. So, if your son's interests lie in the action shooting arena rather than marksmanship per se, you may want to start looking into clubs involved with IDPA/USPSA and the like.
