that will compete at the 4-H Shooting Sports National Championships in Grand Island, Nebraska June 22-June 27, 2025. This application (attached below) will show your interest in selection to the team. If selected for the team there will be an expectation to attend/participate in practice sessions if/when scheduled. The national trip is self-funded, except for registration, trading pins and a shirt that are provided by the State Committee.

Applications

This is a skills and knowledge-based contest including animal identification (wings, fur, and skulls), orienteering and map reading, and hunting knowledge (based on the NRA Hunting guide), as well as shooting ability. The 2024 hunting contest included 3D (Archery), Hunting Clays (Shotgun), and Paper Animal Targets (Rifle). A basic comfort level with all three disciplines would be helpful but is not required.

Applicants must be currently enrolled in 4-H. Applications are due by September 1, 2024, and can be mailed to:

State 4-H Office Attn: John Keimig
Berg Agricultural Hall 112, Box 2207E
Brookings, SD 57007

You will want to get an NRA Hunting Guide to study. Note the mandatory testing day for those wishing to make the team.
