What is one sport where it does not matter if you are not the fastest, the strongest, a boy or girl and no one “sits on the bench?”
Shooting sports is one of the most popular programs in Louisiana 4-H Youth Development. With a spot at the state competition on the line, more than a thousand youth registered for nearly 1,400 events in the Northern Regional 4-H Shooting Sports competition held March 3-8, 2020 in Grand Cane and Shreveport.
After earning herself a national championship title in smallbore rifle last year, Erin Wilkinson of Jena High 4-H, set her sights on the national air rifle competition at the regional competition. For her first year in air rifle, Erin placed 1st overall at the regional competition. Wilkinson’s highlights of the competition include first place in silhouette, second place in NRA 3P, and third place in standing competition to qualify her for the 4-H State Match.
