4-H Shooting Sports

Each year, 4-H teaches a shooting sport to more than 300,000 boys and girls.
4-H members have opportunities to test their shooting, hunting, and sportsmanship skills in county, regional, state, and national competitions. In fact, they could ultimately set Olympic competition as their goal. There are seventeen Olympic shooting sports events, which continue to draw the third-greatest number of countries.

SCTP

The Scholastic Shooting Sports Foundation is an educational-athletic organization that exists to introduce school-age youths to the clay target sports and to facilitate their continued involvement by providing, promoting, and perpetuating opportunities to safely and enjoyably participate and compete in a high-quality, team-based sport led by trained adult coaches focused on enhancing the personal growth and development of their athletes.

This fund is named after Justin Reifschneider, a WCFW Board member, Leader in the Juniors program through 4H and all-around great guy. These funds are generated through the sales of range gear (hats, lanyards… etc.), member donations and a portion of membership dues.

The fund was created to help youth with the costs associated with competing in shooting sports. These funds can be used for travel to a large event, purchase/upgrade to firearms, ammo, and targets.
