What are County Shoots?

During the month of July, disciplines will hold a county shoot for all eligible and interested members. This is a fun competition and not a requirement to complete the Shooting Sports project. However, participation is encouraged because it is a good way to showcase your skills and measure your progress.

Don’t be intimidated—the competitions are divided by age division (juniors ages 8–13 and seniors ages 14–18) and by classes based on equipment. If you are a new 8-year-old 4-H member, you will NOT be competing against older senior members who have been shooting for 10 years. 

What are the requirements to participate in County Shoot?

  • Complete the orientation process (earlier in the year),

  • Attend a minimum of four required practices for the discipline(s) you are enrolled in,

  • Register for the county shoot by discipline before its deadline.

County shoots also serve as qualifiers for the Colorado State 4-H Shooting Sports Championships (referred to as the State Shoot). Counties across Colorado send their teams of 6 members (5 members for Shotgun) per age division and class to compete in Pueblo, Colorado City, and Colorado Springs on August 16–17, 2025 and August 30–31. (Schedules for state shoot are posted on each discipline page under Competitions, but specific relay times will not be available until state shoot registration for each member is completed in early August.)

What are the requirements to participate in the State Shoot?

  • Submit your hunter education card by July 1, 2025 (on 4HOnline during enrollment or emailed to info@LC4HSS.org),

  • Commit to traveling and participating in the state shoot, should you qualify, on your county shoot registration on SignUpGenius,

  • Participate in the scheduled county shoot and qualify in the top 6 in your age division and class (top 5 for Shotgun),

  • Pay the state entry fees,

  • Exhibit your project and record book at the county fair and earn a blue or red ribbon.

If you have more questions, please feel free to email info@LC4HSS.org or talk with your Shooting Sports leaders. We’ll be happy to help!
