Who we are & what we do
Here at West Forsyth, just like all other Hunter Safety Teams in North Carolina, we focus on safety. Safe handling of firearms, weapons and ammunition is the paramount requirement of a team member. Secondly we focus on wildlife conservation and preservation. We learn many things from wildlife identification and wilderness skills to land navigataion.
North Carolina is divided into 9 districts that participate in the Hunter Safety Education Skills Tournaments each year. This amounts to more than 4,000 kids from middle school through high school that participate in the program.
The West Forsyth Hunter Safety Team was formed in 2013 and since then has sent teams to the state competition the last three years.
Here members display skill through shooting 5 arrows at a 5-spot target from 4 different distances away from the target...10, 15, 20 and 25 yards.
Here team members fire a .22 caliber rifle, shooting 5 bullets each for 4 different positions...Prone, Kneeline, Sitting and Standing
Team members who participate in this event shoot modified skeet - 4 Clays each from 5 different positions around the launcher.
These parents donate a lot of their time, energy, amd ideas to help keep this team performing at it's peak.
Not really a Board Member, but figured if you needed to make a change to this site, etc. you would want to know whom to contact...>
