Currently, Monroe County 4-H has two adult archery instructors, one junior leader instructor and one county coordinator trained and certified through the Ohio 4-H Shooting Sports Program. Instructors taught an Autumn series of archery classes during October, November and December 2008. The Monroe County 4-H Shooting Sports Club had twenty-seven youth participate in the series. Youth increased their archery knowledge and skills with hands-on target practice on an indoor range in the Coulson Building at the Monroe County Fairgrounds.
