The Patrick County 4-H Marksmen use shooting as a vehicle to teach youth ages 9-19 life skills such as responsibility, self-discipline, and teamwork through skills learned in archery, muzzle loading, pistol, rifle, and shotgun. Through these disciplines, youth also learn firearm safety and marksmanship. The Patrick County 4-H Marksmen would like to thank American Legion Post # 105, Stuart Family Restaurant, and Shooters Pawn for their continued support. The Patrick County 4-H Marksmen operates on fundraising and grant funding, and thanks the NRA Foundation for a generous grant that helps make shooting club programming possible.
