A Nebraska 4‑H Shooting Sports Leader Certification Workshop will be held at the Ashland Gun Club at 426 County Road C, Ashland NE 68003. The New Leader Certification Sessions will be held from Saturday, Oct. 12‑Sunday, Oct. 13.
New volunteers have the opportunity to become certified as an adult (21 years and older) or apprentice (14‑20 years old) leader in the Shotgun or Archery discipline. Optional discipline training for Shotgun OR Archery will also be offered for current Shooting Sports Instructors the morning of Oct. 12.
The registration fee is $90.00 per person for initial certification and those individuals adding an additional discipline. The registration fee for Apprentice Instructors (14‑20 years old) is $80. This fee includes meals, supplies and program materials. Individuals are officially registered when payment is received. Participants must make their own lodging arrangements. Workshop registration is due by Oct. 2nd, and all payment is due via mail by Oct. 7th. Late registration is $160.
While new instructors might need to bring limited, if any, equipment to the in-person discipline training site, there are a series of four National 4-H Shooting Sports online modules which individuals MUST complete prior to the training to become eligible for certification. Instructions on how to access the modules and how to enroll are at https://go.unl.edu/67x3. Individuals who have already completed the online modules are not required to complete them again.
As individuals follow each of the instructions in the Online User Guide, they will be asked to choose a payment method. Participants are responsible for an additional $20 (per person) site registration fee. The entire series of modules will take approximately 3‑4 hours, so please plan some time accordingly. You will need to bring a printed certificate showing you completed the modules to the Leader Certification workshop.
