I just noticed that I'm wearing bell-bottom jeans in my OP

If I remember correctly, that was the style in the late 60's to mid- 70s 🕺

Should I simply inquire at Elberton gun range-club whether they host 4-H and maybe steer me in the right direction ?

They do. Oglethorpe County Shotgun was sponsored down there for a while. I’m sure Elbert and others do too.

Any of you guys shoot rifle in 4-H back in the day, do they still allow the kids to fire rifles?

Mom sent me this article she clipped from the newspaper, says I'd just earned my Marksman 1st Class badge shooting 22LR in 4-H back around 1973

1973 wow! I was a senior at TOWERS HIGH!

Project SAFE is still super active all round the state. I've had numerous friend and family that competed but I never did personally. I still volunteer for 4-H regularly. It is one of the last youth organizations that hasn't totally derailed.

I see your from Statesboro. My granddaughter will start school at Ga Southern this fall.
Her high school team won the National Championship at Camp Perry this past summer. She plans on shooting 22 rifle at Ga Southern. Trying for a scholarship.

That's fantastic, I am currently going to school at Georgia Southern as well. The rifle team here qualified for NCAA finals (or something of the likes) just a week or so ago. The competition shooting teams here are evidently pretty good from what I have heard.

I still have a pair in my closet.

Old Mill Range in Griffin is a first rate youth shooting facility. My youngest grandson shot 4-H there.
If you check their website there's a lot of useful information and lists of upcoming events.
Don't let the decrepit old building fool you it's just a disguise.

I shot clays in 4h. That was a while back.

I hope she gets it. I received a completely "full ride" scholarship shooting smallbore 3 pos in the early to mid 80's.
