I've been a little lax in updating results. In the last month or so the kids have shot several tournaments, with great results. Lewis & Clark County Howie shot very well and ended up taking the High Point for 3P and Prone and finishing 2nd in age group for standing. Bailey ended up with 1st [...]
The MT State 4-H Air Rifle Team had a fantastic week at 4-H Nationals in Grand Island, NE. We set out with a few goals in mind and, in my opinion, far exceeded them. The team, comprised of Lyndy Powers (Gallatin Valley Sharpshooters), Margo Spaulding (Kalispell 4-H Shooting Sports), Howie Edison (Mineral County 4H Shooting [...]
The 4H year for shooting sports is winding down. The only remaining tournament is 4H Nationals for those who are selected. Have had a busy last couple weeks - the National Sporter team shot the NRA and Junior Olympic qualifiers two weeks ago and all the kids shot the State 4H competition last weekend. A [...]
Once again the Sporter shooters had a great weekend. Lake County put on their first ever 4H shoot and they did a great job. We really appreciate having a tournament to infill the time between Kalispell and the State shoot. After all was said and done Mineral County took the top spots in all events [...]
The shooting sports team had a great weekend at the US Army Marksmanship Junior Nationals at Fort Benning, GA. All shooters should be very proud - if they didn't shoot a match competition personal best they were able to work through some difficult issues and come very close to it. The sporter team came in [...]
Another great tournament put on by the Flathead County 4H Shooting Sports Club. The younger rifle shooters once again did an impressive job - their only failing was my own. The advanced shooters also placed well in all the events in preparation of going to Fort Benning this week. A even higher note would be [...]
Lewis and Clark County put on a great tournament over the weekend. The Mineral County 4H team ended up placing well in all events. Most notable is Howie Edison coming home with all 3 high points for the sporter air rifle. Would also like to give our youngest shooters a high five. This is their [...]
The 4H Shooting Sports Sporter team recently participated in the US Army Marksmanship Unit Postal tournament. The teams performance placed them 1st in the State, 22nd place nationally (out of 200 teams) and qualifies them to attend the National Marksmanship Event in early February at Fort Benning, GA. A great accomplishment for the team and [...]
The shooting club returned from several tournaments this past month with good results.

The team finished the CMP in 3rd place in the nation and the [...]
