Collapse ▲William Kozak, Franklin County 4-H’er, tried out for the NC 4-H Small Bore Pistol team and he won a spot to attend the National 4-H Shooting Sports Competition in Nebraska. William was asked to share his experience and this is what he had to say about it. We are very proud of William and how well the NC 4-H Shooting Sports Team did in Nebraska.
“Nebraska is an experience that every youth participating in the Shooting Program should experience. This year I had the honor of representing my county and state in .22 Small Bore Pistol discipline, we shoot Bullseye, Silhouette and Modified Camp Perry (slow fire, time fire and rapid fire). We have to be at the rage every day by 7 a.m. to set up the tent for our team, help set up range for bullseye and Camp Perry, our team prayed before we began. We had to stay hydrated by drinking lots of water and liquid IVs and let me tell you by Tuesday evening there were lots of youth dehydrated. Our coach is the best-always provided us with the best advice for the weather (wind, heat and drizzle but especially wind and heat). Exchanging of the pins with kids from other states even on the range line, we did not wait for a specific or special event.

There were 62 shooters from my discipline and one of my teammates came in 10th overall and this is her first time at Nationals also. On awards day the top 10 individuals for each discipline is recognized and the top 5 teams. On the last day overall awards are given to the top 10 individuals per discipline and top 5 teams per discipline but also it was super cool to learn that Louisiana has maintained their 1st place overall for the last 2 years and they won overall this year again. Next year will be the 25th year anniversary of the national shooting sport program competition and I hope to be there again as part of the Air Pistol Team. As I finish I would like to share one thing our team did, we signed each other’s hats and took Polaroids pics of us as a team to have as a keepsake.” (William is the 3rd from the left in the top left photo.)
