Las Animas Sharpshooters Rebooted

Southeast Area—The Las Animas Sharpshooters 4-H club has reformed with the guidance of leaders Cody Turner and Ben and Cindy Miller.  All three leaders completed the Colorado 4-H Shooting Sports discipline training this winter and have hit the ground running.  4-H members from across Bent County met April 18 for the first meeting where they proceeded to approve a new constitution and elect officers.  Officers elected include Dante Gumke, president; Doug Miller, vice president and Kylie Miller, secretary. 

The club holds their monthly meetings the second Sunday of each month at 4:30 p.m. at the Las Animas Trap Club.  They host practices following the club meeting and the fourth Sunday of each month at 4:30 p.m.  Turner is trained in .22 and air rifle.  Ben is trained in muzzle loading, Cindy in archery and Keith Garcia in shotgun.
