Shooting Sports Group


If you haven't heard, Rutherford County has a Shooting Sports group. The next meeting is scheduled for Thursday, November 19 from 6-8 p.m. This is a hands-on project group focused on teaching 4-H members the art of riflery and archery. We meet at the Lane Agri-Park Community Center located at 315 John R Rice Blvd in Murfreesboro. Here are answers to some frequently asked questions:

Q: Do I have to have my own equipment?
A: No, all equipment will be provided for you. We have Genesis compound bows for archery and Daisy 5 Meter Competition BB guns for our rifle team.

Q: Is there a cost to participate?
Y: Yes, there is a $30 fee for the year (October-April). This helps to cover the cost of equipment, insurance, and volunteer certification training.

A: The 4-H Shooting Sports Group is open to all Rutherford County youth in the 4-12 grades. You do not have to have 4-H offered in your school in order to join.

A: Absolutely! There has never been a recorded injury in the TN Shooting Sports Program.

Q: What do I need to bring to the first meeting?
A: Each participant will need to complete an Activity and Event Acceptance Form found here: http://www.utextension.utk.edu/4h/forms/acrobat/f600a.pdf The event name is “Rutherford County 4-H Shooting Sports 09-10”

Q: What is the schedule for the year?

RCNN Begins Work on Music Video!

Rutherford County 4-H Network News had their first meeting of the 2009-2010 school year. Our main group project for November and December is going to be creating a music video for WGNS Radio's morning show, "Swap 'n Shop." The following video is very short, but it is pretty funny to watch (the stacked chairs represent a llama). Look for the completed music video toward the end of the year.
