TN 4-H Shooting Sports Instructor School, 8/15-16

[Guest David Waldrip]

All:

This email is going to the email list of NRA Frontlines volunteers in the 7th Congressional district.

Some of you locally may know that I got involved this year in the local Shelby County 4-H Shooting Sports program and helped in the launch of an air rifle program. After only a couple of months into the program, sometime in March, it was apparent to me that this was one of the most rewarding things I've ever done.

If you or a friend or a family member would like to get involved in youth shooting, please see the info below about the upcoming TN 4-H Shooting Sports Instructor School.

Our 4-H Extension Agent in Shelby County is Becky Bonner at Bbonner@utk.edu. For those of you in other counties in the district, your Extension Agent can be found at http://www.utextension.utk.edu/offices/default.asp.

If anyone has any questions or comments, please feel free to contact me. This is both our future and the future of the shooting sports.

Thanks in advance.
