Make-up Shooting Sports Coach Training
Due to a conflict with a national shooting sports training program being held the same weekend as the District 5 Shooting Sports Coaches Certification Training held in Frankston on October 29-30, the State 4-H office was unable to secure an instructor for the Shotgun and Pistol disciplines. Therefore, these two disciplines will be held on December 10-11, 2022 – same location; same time. Archery and Rifle will continue to meet October 29-30 as scheduled.
