(The third is after the deadline to count for county shoot.)
The practices are open to all Larimer County 4-H Archery members. But please fill out the Lon Hagler interest form at the sign-in table at archery practice so we can ensure enough certified leaders are present.
Note that there will NOT be equipment for members to borrow at these practices.
