MONROE - Green County 4-H Shooting Sports recently received a donation from the Green County Coyote Hunters Club to help support 4-H shooting sports programs. The club has a mission to control predator populations by hunting coyotes and fox with the aid of dogs; to promote safety, fellowship and good sportsmanship; and to cooperate with other organizations that share these objectives. The club donated the funds to support the youth education that 4-H provides through the 4-H Shooting Sports programs.

Green County 4-H Shooting Sports offers workshops in the disciplines of shotgun, air rifle, air pistol, .22 rifle, .22 pistol, muzzle loading and archery. Youth learn about the safe and responsible use of firearms and archery equipment, along with the concepts and issues of wildlife ecology, natural resource management and ethical behavior. Donations are used to offset workshop costs to keep youth participation fees at a lower rate. To learn more about Green County 4-H Shooting Sports or about joining 4-H, contact Ellen Andrews, 4-H youth development educator, at 608-328-9440 or email at ellen.andrews@ces.uwex.edu.
