4-H Shooting Sports Volunteers
Inducted November 12, 2009
Red Eagle Skeet & Trap has been instrumental in the Alabama State 4-H Shotgun Championship since its inception. In 2000, Red Eagle Skeet & Trap hosted the first State 4-H Shotgun Championship and has hosted this event every year since. The 2009 championship was its largest with 76 shooters.
James Finn, Red Eagle Skeet & Trap president in 2000, was important in bringing the state 4-H Shotgun Championship to Red Eagle. He convinced the membership that hosting the championship would be a great way for the club to teach young people what the club loves-shooting. Finn has assisted in every championship since 2000.
Members of the Red Eagle Skeet & Trap have donated thousands of dollars worth of volunteer hours to Alabama 4-H by assisting with this championship. They spend hours cutting grass, cleaning the clubhouse, providing safety briefings, assisting with instruction, loading skeet and trap machines, pulling for the contestants, scoring, refereeing, serving lunch, and, most important, showing visitors their wonderful hospitality.
Red Eagle Skeet & Trap members have had a great impact on the Shooting Sports program in Alabama.
