The Patrick County 4-H Marksmen use shooting as a vehicle to teach youth ages 9-19 life skills such as responsibility, self-discipline, and teamwork through skills learned in archery, muzzle loading, pistol, rifle, and shotgun.  Through these disciplines, youth also learn firearm safety and marksmanship.  The Patrick County 4-H Marksmen would like to thank American Legion Post # 105 and Stuart Family Restaurant for their continued support.   The Patrick County 4-H Marksmen operates on fundraising and grant funding and would like to thank the NRA Foundation for their generous grant that helps make shooting club programming possible in our community.
