Powhatan 4-H Shooting Club members were among 300+ competitors at the State 4-H Shoot in early September. With more than 2,000 squadding slots across dozens of events, local members competed with many of the best shooters in the state. Powhatan youth earned awards in every discipline that they practice and everyone walked away with personal best scores. Club leader Jon Wilson, commented, “This is a testament to all the hard work the kids, coaches, families, and other helpers behind the scenes put into making it possible to produce such a well-rounded team.” Congratulations to all the youth who participated at the state event held at Holiday Lake 4-H Center.
Finally, Powhatan 4-H Shooting Club members and adult volunteers appreciate the club’s supporters and sponsors. Thank you to Friends of the NRA, Powhatan Moose Lodge, and Split Nocks Archers for your continued support of these young people. Below, find the top three placements from our local 4-H members.
