Crawford County made a tremendous showing at State Days!

With the support of our Club, the Lake Edinboro Sportsmans Club, Finck Tire and NRA,

35 local boys and girls participated in either the air rifle and/or shotgun projects during this year.

Forty-two boys and girls representing Crawford County recently traveled to Penn State to compete

in the 2000 PSU 4-H State Achievement Days. Of those Crawford County-ites, 14

(including 5 members of our very own Dead-Eye Club!!) competed in air rifle, air pistol or shotgun contests.

Team (state ranking) and/or individual results per contest are as follows:

Air Pistol - Senior (ind.) ... Jared Whitman - 1st

Air Rifle - Junior 3rd ... Christine Carroll - 4th

Air Rifle - Senior 2nd ... Beth Grinarml - 10th

Shotgun - Senior 1st ... Andy Bushak - 2nd, Gregg Spiegel - 5th, Jeff Quinn - 6th (tie)

Congratulations to all the participants!

4-H SHOOTING CLUB KICKS OFF

With the financial support of the Club and other groups/vendors,

the DEAD-EYE 4-H SHOOTING CLUB fired up again in January 2001.

This year's club included air rifle, air pistol and archery project.

Club volunteers are:

Bob Grinarml, Don Meyers, Pete Mathews, Paul Martinson, Jim Jones, Jim Flick, Joe Shrader and Dave Birchard.

Other instructors and 4-H volunteers are encouraged to allow the program to expand.

Some of these youth may be the rekindling of an active Junior Club! It's not to late to sign your child.

Archery club meets Monday evenings; air rifle and air pistol meet Thursday evenings. Phone any officer for details.

Last year, club members represented Crawford County at Penn State days

placing 2nd overall in Sr. Air Rifle and 1st in Sr. Shotgun competition.

We need more volunteer leaders and instructors.
