Hamilton County 4-H Archery Club:
Attending Preview Day is required for all new 4-H Archery Club members. The deadline for signing up for 2026 Archery Preview Day has passed.
The Hamilton County 4-H Archery Club is for grades 4th through 12th in Hamilton County. Learn archery or improve your skill in the sport by participating in the 4-H Archery Club, which meets once or twice a month from August through April. Hamilton County youth can join this club in the fall and practice throughout the school year.
Practices are held outdoors on Saturdays at Chester Frost Park and are supervised by 4-H-certified shooting sports instructors. There is an annual fee to participate in the 4-H Archery program, which is due before the first regular practice (which will be held after Preview Day).
Archery equipment (Genesis and recurve bows) is available to Club members for use during practices and at the state 4-H Archery Jamboree at no additional cost. If they prefer, club members can also use their own bows (Genesis, recurve, or compound) in 4-H archery practices and competitions. Please talk with a coach before purchasing a bow for use in 4-H.
Club members participate in the state 4-H Archery Skillathon (a quiz of archery knowledge) and compete in the 4-H Archery Jamboree (state 4-H archery competition) in the spring. 4-H Archery Club members also participate in additional 4-H competitions during the school year.
