I have my kids in our local county 4H HotShot program.
While not really a pure competition program we do have shoot offs and keep records of scores while teaching the kids shooting arts. In the last year my kids have shot Air Rifle, Trap, Bow. Its a great program. |

My daughter has participated in the 4H youth program at the Lake County Florida Range (Eustis Gun Club). They support young shooters all the way.
Recently my Daughter took 2nd place overall in the state 4H trap and skeet competition. She is headed to Nebraska for the national competition. Parents get you kids involved in the 4H programs. They offer air rifle, shotgun, bow and some clubs may have more. |
| I am a 4H leader and both of my sons are in the program. We do rifle, pistol, archery, black powder, shotgun and 22. Our coordinatorsare a former Olympic small bore coach, and a highly accomplished competition pistol shooter. It is a blast, and the kids have a ball while learning discipline, sportsmanship, and a valuable skill. |

I know the last year my girls were shooting she was really getting good. My kids had to choose between horses and clay pigeons. They chose the horses. BTW reloading is waaay cheaper than feeding horses and pulling a gooseneck trailer. |

That would be her. She just won the Southeast Invitational for the universities and colleges. She took first in trap, wobble trap, sporting clays, and fourth in Skeet. She won Ladies High Overall shooter for the event.
Haven't seen you in while. Hope the girls are doing good. |

We all pretty much follow the same national guidelines, the big difference being what is offered in your area. In our area, we offer air rifle, air pistol, 22, black powder, shotgun, and bow competition. Feel free to ask us anything, we should be able to help. I believe all clubs are run by a state University, but they will be able to answer 99 percent of your questions, and be able to put you in touch with your local coordinator and leaders. Wow... Edited for my phone making up words. |

It may be good to call the college and get the coaches name and contact information. There may also be "parent/coaches" that assist in various functions that can give you the perspective your looking for. Good luck with this. I hope it works out for your child as it did for mine. |
