Hi there. I am in my 1st year of co-leading a county wide (Shasta County, CA) 4H rifle project. We took over the project from a gentleman that did it last 12 years. We shoot 50' 3 position smallbore rifle at both indoor and outdoor ranges. Nine of the ten rifles in this year's class are 10/22s. We are splitting the class next year into 2 projects, to handle more kids and makes more geographical sense.
I am looking for several ideas to improve our project.
1) I want some practice drills that we can do in class and do at home for practice. Some I already have include dry fire with dime on front sight, npoa shifts using different color targets hung spaced out.
2) fun games and competitions. We end each class with a competition. We have done: balloons as teams with certain colors that lost points if hit. Golf balls hanging from a rope. Smallest 5 shot groups. 10 spot targets.
2b) My project next year will need funding. I am planning on challenging our local sheriff department to a fund raising competition against my 4h kids. I have some ideas on this but would love to hear more.
3) I am looking for some good teaching materials. I have some that I have found and what I received from my 4h certification class. I am just looking for more. Fundamentals on 3/4 position shooting, npoa, moa, ect. Stuff that I can use in class and send home with students.
4) Our county wide project came fully stocked with rests, target stands, targets, trailer to store everything, ect. My project next year will be starting from scratch. I am looking for ideas for target stands. Our range is outdoors with hard packed dirt gravel down range. The shooting line is covered concrete. It is a private gun club and we should be able to target equipment in a locking box. We will have 10-15 shooters. We have access to wood and metal working tools and knowhow. What target stand ideas do you have for 10-15 shooters?
Thanks!
