New Germany Organizations
4-H Shooting Sports and Wildlife Program
Personal development and responsible environmental behavior are the goals of the 4-H Shooting Sports and Wildlife Program . One of the groups that participates in this program meets in New Germany each year .
Participants in the program must complete 16 hours of instruction in a specific discipline to qualify for the state competition . The group that meets in New Germany has an advantage , because they are able to practice indoors during the winter months in city hall .
“ We are able to complete more than half of the required hours before the start of summer , which makes it much less stressful for the participants ,” lead volunteer Kim Bartz said .
