Whitetails Unlimited recently provided a $5,000 grant to the National 4-H Shooting Sports Program in support of their Championship Tournament. Since the beginning of this partnership WTU has granted more than $750,000 to 4-H. The program held their tournament June 26-July 1 in Grand Island, Nebraska. WTU has supported the 4-H Shooting Sports Program nationwide for nearly three decades. In addition to the national championships, WTU also contributes to the 4-H Shooting Sports Instructor’s Workshops. These workshops educate instructors on how to certify 4-H coaches in their state.
The 4-H Shooting Sports Program offers a wide variety of disciplines including rifle, shotgun, pistol, muzzleloader, and archery. It is estimated that the program has reached more than 475,000 youth in 47 states. Over 3 million individuals have been introduced to hunting and shooting sports through the National 4-H Shooting Sports Program. The championships were attended by close to 700 competitors.
