Impact Report Shooting Sports The State 4-H Shooting Sports contest was held in Colfax County at the NRA Whittington Center in May where the agent assisted with the pistol shoot competition and the scoring of rifle targets. The Colfax County 4-H Council along with the Colfax County 4-H agent, Agricultural Agent, and County Director helped organize a dance at the National Guard Armory south of Raton for the event. Colfax County was represented by five 4-Hers. We had youth in archery, rifle, and shotgun. Our rifle team placed 10th overall and shotgun was 5th overall. Youth had an increase in life skills related to record keeping, independence, self-responsibility, teamwork, and stress management. The Northeast District 4-H Shooting Sports Contest was hosted by Colfax County this summer at the NRA Whittington Center in Raton. Along with Colfax County youth there were 4-H members from Harding, Union, Mora, San Miguel, Rio Arriba, and Santa Fe. The agent was the range master for the archery shoot. The agent was responsible for setting up the range, preparing score sheets, tabulating scores, and awarding the ribbons. There were a total of 52 contestants with some competing in two events.
