    4-H Shooting Sports program
    looking for volunteer trainees 

    CLEMSON – Clemson University’s 4-H Shooting Sports 
    program has scheduled an instructor certification workshop 
    Feb. 15-17 for anyone interested in being a volunteer for the 
    shooting sports program.

    The training will be held at the S.C. Department of Natural 
    Resources Webb Wildlife Center near Garnett. Cost is $100 
    for adult leaders and $50 for teen leaders age 14 to 20.  
    Registration deadline is Feb. 8.

    South Carolina 4-H requires that the instructors must be 
    certified in order to conduct a 4-H Shooting Sports activity. In 
    order to be certified volunteers must attend this training, pass a 
    written exam and practicum, and be approved as a 4-H 
    volunteer by Clemson University. 

    Participants can only be certified in one of the following per 
    training session: shotgun, rifle, pistol or archery.  

    Registration for first time attendees will start at 5:30 p.m. on 
    Feb. 15 and must be present for the entire workshop in order 
    to become certified. 

    Lodging and meals will be available at the Webb Center. The 
    cost of lodging and meals are included in the registration 
    costs.
