Carver County 4-H Shooting Sports and
Wildlife Program
4-H Shooting Sports and Wildlife (SS&WL)
program is designed for youth to build skills in
the safe use of fi rearms and archery, and learn
the importance of protecting Minnesota’s
natural resources.
Participants in the program must complete
15 hours of instruction in a specifi c discipline
to qualify for the state competition their fi rst
year of participation and then eight hours
every year after that. The project area covers
the following disciplines: wildlife, archery, air
rifl e, air pistol, BB, tomahawk, black powder,
and trap. Age requirements are listed on the
website for each discipline.
This 4-H project group meets in New Germany
each year from January through March, which
allows the group to practice indoors during
the winter months, helping them complete
necessary hours for both county and state
shoot competitions.
During April through August, the group
meets at the Carver County Sportsman Club.
The youth are taught by certifi ed instructors
who are 4-H volunteers in the Carver County
4-H program.

4-H Clubs
In 4-H, young people build the skills they
need for a lifetime – they learn and lead
with the support of caring adults. 4-H’ers can
design their own activities, or take part in a
structured one. Youth learn by doing. This
learning model teaches them life skills, such
as problem-solving, decision-making, coping,
communicating, and teamwork.
Area 4-H clubs include: Mayer Riverside 4-
H Club, Watertown Willing Workers 4-H Club,
New Horizons 4-H Club,Youngwood 4-H Club,
