What an incredible weekend for our Lincoln County 4-H Shotgun Team at the State 4-H Shotgun Match in Perry, Georgia!

A total of 982 shooters from across Georgia qualified for this event, and Lincoln County was proud to have 13 shooters represented. For many of our team members, this was their very first time competing at such a large eventโ€”and they handled the tough competition and rainy weather like champions.

We are proud to share that all of our shooters finished in the top 35% of competitors!

We could not be more proud of these kids and the hard work, dedication, and effort they have put in all season long. Our very first shotgun season in Lincoln County was a huge success, and we are excited to see this program continue to grow for many years to come!

Congratulations to all of our shooters on an amazing season!

๐ŸŒŸ National Volunteer Appreciation Week ๐ŸŒŸ

During National Volunteer Appreciation Week, we want to take a moment to recognize and celebrate four incredible volunteers who make our 4-H Shotgun Team possible.

A huge thank you goes out to Marty Griner, Logan Griner, Paul Drake, and Adam Chastain.

These four men generously give their time, energy, and expertise to pour into the youth of Lincoln County. Their leadership, patience, and dedication help our shooters grow not only in skill, but in confidence, responsibility, and character.

We are truly grateful for the impact they make behind the scenes and on the range. Our program would not be the same without their commitment to our youth.

Thank you for all you do for Lincoln County 4-H! ๐Ÿ’š
