Abe Lincoln 4-H Shooters Hosts
Archery Celebration
[May 01, 2026]
The Abe Lincoln Shooters 4-H
Club offers archery through the Illinois 4-H Shooting Sports
Program, guided by a certified coordinator and aligned with national
standards. Focused on youth development, the program helps members
build life skills such as responsibility, decision-making, teamwork,
and safety.
From January through April 2026, youth ages 8–18 participated in a
six- and eight-part archery series. The program concluded with a
celebratory shoot on April 29 at Rigney’s School of Archery in

arrow placement. Ten youth from Sangamon and Logan counties received
special recognition.
