On behalf of Gallatin County 4-H Shooting Sports, we sincerely thank MWA for supporting our program. We could not do the positive things that we
do for 4-H youth without the dedication and encouragement of the MWA members. For further information, please contact Scott Francis at the above phone number.
Gallatin County 4-H Shooting Sports is one of the largest projects in Gallatin County. On average, we have about 150 to 200 4-H youth enrolled in shooting sports yearly. The program offers the following disciplines for members: air rifle, air pistol, small-bore rifle, small-bore pistol, archery, shotgun, muzzle-loading, hunting and wildlife, and western heritage. Highly trained and certified adult volunteers run these projects to provide youth with the best possible opportunity to experience top-quality instruction.
The 4-H youth are associated with caring adults and fellow shooters to learn the safe and ethical use of archery equipment and firearms. Many needs must be met to provide the fantastic experiences in positive youth development available in 4-H shooting sports. It continues to get more expensive to find places to meet, maintain equipment, and purchase new and improved supplies.

The class is designed for people who have little or no experience with handguns.
Upon successful completion, you will receive a document certifying your basic knowledge of handgun safety, handgun shooting, and Montana’s self-defense and carry laws.
This class includes enough live-fire to meet the training requirement to apply for the Montana Enhanced Concealed Weapon Permit.
The course consists of online instruction by the NRA, followed by in-person training, and live-fire exercises at the Logan Range. There is a $60 fee for the online portion of the class.
The remainder of the course plus handguns and ammunition are provided by the range and me at no cost to students.
If you are interested, we will put you on the list for the next available spot in a class. Please contact me directly for more information. Thanks.
The United States Practical Shooting Association (and its parent organization International Practical Shooting Confederation) is where handgun speed-shooting devotees gather. To get started, you need your favorite handgun, a belt and holster, eye and ear protection, and lots of ammo. You may shoot around a barrier, through a window, with your weak hand, at a disappearing target, and even from a rusted-out old car! Always against the clock, you’ll need to reload along the way, “run and gun” from target bank to target bank, knockdown steel plates, keep from shooting “good guy” targets swinging in front of “bad guy” targets, and much, much more. This fast-paced sport is dominated by semi-automatics, both factory stock and customized, but revolver shooters are also welcome and have their own shooting class.
The Single Action Shooting Society (SASS) is an international membership organization formed in 1987 to preserve and promote the sport of Cowboy Action Shooting™. SASS serves as the governing and sanctioning body for the sport of Cowboy Action Shooting™ and Wild Bunch Action Shooting™ worldwide – ensuring safety and consistency in the sport. SASS members share a common interest in preserving the history of the Old West and competitive shooting in a safe, fun, family-friendly environment.

(No Coordinator at this time; contact any MWA Board Member if you are interested in this position.)
The Headwaters Rifle Club & Jr. Division is a high-power shooters group. It is affiliated with the Civilian Marksmanship Program (CMP).
The CMP is chartered to promote the education and training of youth in the proper and safe use and handling of firearms. It is also the organization that has the authority to sell surplus military firearms, ammunition, and related equipment to its affiliated clubs.
So, if you are interested in owning a piece of history, join us in one of our fun shoots with military rifles to get qualified to purchase your own M1 Garand, M1 30 caliber carbine, or any of the other firearms that CMP sells. The club has rifles you can use and ammo you can buy to join in the fun. Membership is only $10 per person or $20 for a family. You must also be a member of the MWA.
NRA developed the Women on Target (WOT) program because of persistent calls from women that wanted to learn about shooting or hunting, preferably in the company of other women. WOT clinics are designed to give you a safe, friendly, and fun introduction to shooting sports.
WOT CLINIC WILL BE AT THE MWA RANGE ON JUNE 17, 2023 from 8am – 4pm
Registration link for clinic: https://www.nrainstructors.org/CourseDetails.aspx?Courseid=764297
