The 4-H Shooting Sports National Championships is held each June in Grand Island, Nebraska, at the Heartland Public Shooting Park.
The event is hosted by Nebraska 4-H with youth from across the country competing in compound archery, recurve archery, air rifle, air pistol, .22 rifle, .22 pistol, shotgun, muzzleloading, and hunting skills. This is like the Super Bowl for 4-H youth in Shooting Sports and Mineral County will have a representative.
