Previous experience or firearm ownership is not necessary for youth to participate in this hands-on learning experience. The Oswego County 4-H Program and its instructors, certified through the New York State 4-H Shooting Sports Program, will provide all firearms and necessary equipment. The instructors are volunteers who are chosen for their ability to teach and their skill at relating to youth.
A program fee of $30.00 will be charged to cover the cost of materials and eye and ear protection. Partial scholarships are available through a donation from the Oswego County Federation of Sportsman’s Clubs. Space is limited; therefore, registration is necessary, and parental or guardian permission is mandatory. Youth can register to participate by completing the online registration at https://reg.cce.cornell.edu/Archery2025Oswego4H_235.
