Shooting sports resources

For those enrolled in shooting sports or considering getting involved, there are several resources you can check out for different kinds of information.

The Colorado 4-H Shooting Sports website is located at http://www.co4hshooting.org/ This is the site with all the latest trainings, e-records and other useful info. Sections include Shooting Sports News, National 4-H Shooting Sports Promotional Items, Colorado 4-H Shooting Sports Policy/Procedures & State Forms, and 2008 Colorado 4-H Shooting Sports e-Records & Project Display Requirements. The right column includes several other resource listings.

New this year, the Colorado 4-H Shooting Sports Blog is located at http://co4hshooting.blogspot.com/ . Just like our blog, it's written in a less formal way and contains a variety of information. The latest posting is 2008 State Games of the West.

At the suggestion of a 4-H parent, here is another resource: the Ben Lomond Gun Club at http://www.blgc.org/. The club owns and operates a 560 acre shooting facility in Elbert County. The facility is located 45 miles from Castle Rock, 47 miles from Parker, and 43 miles from Colorado Springs. Membership is through club chapters. Currently, there are chapters in Colorado Springs, Elizabeth, Calhan, Franktown, Littleton, and Monument/Palmer Lake (Tri-Lakes). Check out the website.
