Brownells® Awarded for Service to 4-H Shooting Program

The National 4-H Shooting Sports Foundation presented Brownells® with a service award recently for twenty-five years of continuous support.

The 4-H youth shooting sports program began in 1980 with 150 young men and women in three states. It has grown to encompass 46 states and more than 300,000 participants.

“The 4-H Shooting Sports Foundation teaches youngsters responsible use of firearms, but more importantly it teaches them how to live responsibly,” said Frank Brownell, company president. “We believe this is very important work and will continue to maintain a strong relationship with this wonderful organization.”

The 4-H Youth Shooting Sports program teaches hunting and shooting skills for the next generation of enthusiasts. Over the past few decades, Brownells’ support has helped educate youth about the value of safe, ethical and responsible shooting.

“Brownells has been extremely helpful, beneficial and committed to youth shooting sports,” said John Kvasnicka, National 4-H Shooting Sports executive director. “Their support has provided the necessary resources to make us grow as fast as we have.”

The National 4-H Shooting Sports Foundation is a non-profit organization that offers educational programs teaching youth and adults important life skills. Using the 4-H youth development model, the program helps students reach their full potential and learn responsible habits as citizens.
