Woods County Archery and Air Rifle contest

 

December 23, 2016



The Woods County 4-H Shooting Sports Club hosted a regional contest on Saturday, Dec. 17. Forty-five contestants from nine Northwest Oklahoma counties (Guthrie to Guymon) attended the event. Archery categories included compound bow, genesis bow, and recurve bow plus competition in air rifle and air pistol, with junior, intermediate and senior age divisions.

Dustin Rankin, Woods County shooting sports leader, coordinated the event, along with the help from numerous volunteers. Debra Rankin coordinated the entries and concession stand fundraiser. John Mathes conducted the air rifle and air pistol contest. Stephanie and Scott Marteney assisted with the many parts of the contest. Extension Educators Dana Baldwin, Major County, and Darrell McBee, Harper County, assisted with tabulation and providing equipment for the event.

The 4-H Shooting Sports project teaches young people gun and archery safety and shows them a sport they can enjoy whether they are hunters or not. There is growing participation for both boys and girls. The contest would not have been possible without the parents and volunteers from the Shooting Sports Club helping making this a quality 4-H event.
