What the Mainstream Media Won’t Report — 4-H Shooting Sports

The mainstream media has an agenda, demonizing firearms and arguing that young people should never see, much less touch, a firearm. Given that agenda, don’t expect CBS, NBC, or CNN to ever say ANYthing about the 4-H Shooting Sports Program. Telling the truth about the 4-H shooting program (and other youth marksmanship programs) would under-cut the anti-gun agenda. Why? Because right now over 500,000 young men and women are participating safely and successfully in 4-H Shooting Sports programs nationwide.

Thatn’s right, currently more than half a million youths and 20,000 certified volunteer instructors are involved in 4-H shooting sports programs in 47 states across the USA. 4-H Shooting Sports is now the largest youth shooting program in the nation. Since it was founded many decades ago, 4-H Shooting Sports has served millions of young Americans. The organization declares: “The mission of the 4-H Shooting Sports Program is to assist youth in acquiring knowledge, developing life skills, and forming attitudes so they may become self-directing, productive, and contributing members of society.”

The focus of all 4-H programs is the development of youth as individuals and as responsible and productive citizens. The National 4-H Shooting Sports Program stands out as an example. Youths learn archery, marksmanship, the safe and responsible use of firearms, the principles and ethics of hunting, and much more. The activities of the program and the support of dedicated adult leaders help young people develop self-worth, as they learn important life skills and conservation ethics. (Read Brochure)
