Larimer County 4-H Members Compete at Nationals 2026
Colorado Team
We are so proud of the Larimer County Shooting Sports members who traveled to Grand Island to participate in the 4-H Nationals Shooting Sports Championships from June 21–27, 2026.
The championships consist of three days of competition for nine disciplines including Air Rifle, Air Pistol, Compound Archery, Muzzleloading, .22 Pistol, .22 Rifle, Outdoor Skills, Recurve Archery, and Shotgun. Members are busy all week, with equipment check-in, state team pictures, practice time at the ranges, teen socials, ceremonies, and of course, competition. It’s an amazing week for the members and their families!
In Colorado, senior 4-H members qualify at the state shoot the previous year to represent our state on the national level. Members are only eligible to attend in each discipline once—it really is a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
