Jeffco 4-H Shooting Sports

Record Books

4-H Record Books are also called e-Records. They can be downloaded from the State 4-H Website. Each project has its own record book that members are required to complete each year. Record books are turned in at Interview Judging before our County Fair.  In June/July, you will need to schedule an interview for each of your project areas and bring your record book with you to Interview Judging the week of the Jeffco 4-H Fair.

Upcoming Events

Shooting Sports Contests 2025

Stay tuned for information regarding the 2025 county Shooting Sports contests

*Contests may be consolidated based on entries

Participation in contests is optional and not a shooting sports project requirement. You can participate in one or both contests and your best score will count. Members must have attended 3 county practices and the safety meeting for each discipline they shoot in, plus have a hunters education card on file on 4HOnline.

Shooting Sports Safety and Training Meeting 

       Each 4-H year every Jefferson County 4-H Shooting Sports member is required to attend one (1) official Jefferson County safety and training meeting (also known as ‘safety meeting’) for each discipline they shoot. Both Shooting Sports Safety Meetings have passed. 

      Colorado 4-H requires members to have completed a Colorado Hunter’s Education course and have a valid Hunter’s Education card to be eligible to shoot in any contests. (The Hunter’s Education requirement is a separate requirement and not counted as a county safety meeting and not counted toward the minimum number of practices. If your Hunter’s Education card isn’t uploaded to the new 4HOnline, please send it to Christine at cjacquot@jeffco.us to upload for you!).

      The purpose of the safety meeting is to teach, refresh and reinforce safe shooting and range rules and to provide training on the discipline to help advance shooting ability for the members as well as parents/guardians. The safety and training meetings are for parents/guardians just as much as it is for 4-H members. At least one guardian must attend any 4-H event with the member, including the safety meeting. It is highly encouraged that all parents/guardians attend the safety meeting to help everyone understand the project and the 4-H program. We require attendance each year the member is enrolled in a discipline. As members and their families grow each year in 4-H, they are able to gain new details from the safety and training that they may not have been able to grasp in the year(s) prior. The yearly meetings also allow us to share new rules or other changes from the year before. In order to receive credit for attending, you must be present and attentive through the entire meeting and complete the quiz at the end. More Information click here.
