A Nebraska 4-H Shooting Sports Leader Update Session is scheduled for early April in Broken Bow. It will be held April 11th, 9am to noon, at the Custer County Fairgrounds. The early bird deadline to register for the Update training is April 1st.
The time has come to provide an update for all Nebraska 4-H Shooting Sports Instructors who received their training in 2020. Over the years there have been curriculum changes, updates, and additions, in addition to revisions in the Nebraska 4-H policies.
This Update Session is for adult or apprentice 4-H volunteer instructors who have previously attended a 4-H instructor training workshop in 2020. This is an update for existing instructors, NOT a training for new instructors. You MUST be a currently enrolled Nebraska 4-H Shooting Sports volunteer leader in your county to attend.
Certifications are valid for 6 years. So if your last certification in a specific discipline (i.e. shotgun) was in 2020, you will need to attend an update session of your choice in that specific discipline before the end of this year (2026) to maintain your active discipline certification status.
A Shotgun, Pistol, Rifle, Coordinator, Muzzleloader, or Archery discipline update will be offered during the morning session. Registration is at 8:30am and the program starts at 9am. Lunch is provided at noon.
There is a minimum number of participants needed to offer these discipline sessions. Participants will learn under expert instruction from members of the Nebraska State 4-H Shooting Sports Training Team.
Registration fees must be paid by April 6th. Early bird registration by April 1st is $45 for the session. Late registration fee, after April 1st, is $65. Fee includes program materials and lunch for the Update session. It does not include lodging.
