The 4-H model is a comprehensive youth development program that utilizes shooting sports as a way of connecting with young people and teaching life skills such as teamwork, respect, and discipline as well as safety and enjoyment. Currently, there are certified 4-H Shooting Sports Instructors in every county in the state and that list is growing.<\/p>\n<p>The University of Maine 4-H Shooting Sports Program\u00a0Will host a workshop to certify volunteer instructors in archery and rifle disciplines.\u00a0 Participants will be certified to teach one specific discipline to youth participating in a formal 4-H Shooting sports program or school setting.<\/p>\n<h3>Certification is a two-step process:<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-5126\"
