Ogemaw Hills 4-H Shooting Sports
The Michigan 4-H Shooting Sports program has been active for more than 20 years. Youth in more than 70 counties participate in a variety of shooting sports areas every year! Members can learn safety and shooting techniques for a variety of disciplines - in Ogemaw County, the club currently offers archery and BB/air rifle, with hopes to add shotgun! Club members learn how to handle equipment responsibly for target practice and hunting and learn respect for the natural environment. Interested in helping out as a volunteer?
