Funds are also used to train volunteers at 4-H Shooting Sports training events each year and support Shooting Sports programs outside of camp.<\/p>\n<p>If you are interested in becoming a volunteer Shooting Sports Instructor, check out our <strong>Adult Programs page<\/strong> for upcoming opportunities.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center\"><strong>Please consider supporting the University of Maine 4-H Shooting Sports program:<br \/>\nTeam ID# R66396<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><a href=\"\/\/www.midwayusafoundation.org\/team-profile\/?id=R66396\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span class=\"button\">Donate on the MidwayUSA Foundation website<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The\u00a0MidwayUSA Foundation is a huge supporter of Youth Shooting Sports across the United States.
