Instructor Training "NEW"
For the past few years, PFGC has been preparing its youth program. We have held a few community youth shooting events. Building upon this success, below are some segments of our program which we will be introducing in the upcoming year.
- PFGC members - If your son or daughter is interested in becoming involved and helping with the program, please contact our Youth Chairman.
- Non-PFGC members - If your son or daughter is interested in becoming part of this program, please contact our Youth Chairman.
- Youth Organizations - If your youth organization would like to hold a fishing/shooting event, outdoor skill event or learn more about sportsman activities and the outdoors, please contact our Youth Chairman.
PFGC Youth Protection
The PFGC Youth Program supports BSA, 4H, member's youths and other organizations on a regular basis. Below is our Youth Protection preparedness. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact our Youth Chairman.
The PFGC Youth Program requires its Youth Committee members to file a NH State Police background check
For adult leaders and volunteers supporting PFGC youth events, we ask that you read BSA's (Boy Scouts of Americas) "How To Protect Your Children From Child Abuse: A Parents Guide."
Upon completion of reading and understanding the material, we ask that our adult leaders and volunteers send an email to our Youth Chairman stating that they have read the guide, understand the materials and will report to the youth chairman any abusive behaviors or situations were to occur.
We "Thank" all our adult leaders and volunteers for their understanding and efforts to support our program in learning about and practicing youth protection.
PFGC Youth Shoots:
PFGC Youth Shoots are a one day event to introduce knowledge and experience for
various shooting activities. In years past we have had stations for archery, air rifle, .22 rifle, shotgun and .22 pistol. Each event will be limited to 50 participants. Visit our Photo Album to see past events.
Dates & Times - By the end of January, PFGC will have the dates for the GSB (Granite State Bowhunter) shoots. We use these dates to set your yearly calendar. PFGC will be designating three dates, one in a month for May, June and July to hold its youth shooting events.
If your 4H or Scouting organization (Boy Scout Troops, Explorer Crews) are interested in attending, please contact our Youth Chairman.
UPDATE Instructor Training - PFGC has coordinated with 4H to bring the 4H Instructor Training to the Manchester area. The weekend of May 15th & 16th is when the training will be held. There are 6-8 categories of training such as .22 pistol, air rifle, shotgun, .22 rifle, archer...etc. The game plan for PFGC is to have 2+ people signed up for each category so that PFGC has a fully qualified team of 4H certified instructors across all of the 4H shooting sports categories. If you are interested in becoming a 4H Certified Shooting Instructor, please contact Jack Belanger or Youth Chairman.
PFGC Outdoor Club - John has completed the paperwork and now coordinating with PFGC Board of Directors and 4H to start up the club. We have two members, Bob Handy and Robert Barber who will be leading the youth and starting up the meetings.
Monthly Shoots - These events are to be started once the youth have been engaged and the Outdoor club is up and running.
Several of our PFGC members are involved in scouting. We have merit badge counselors for the below badges. If you have a youth in scouting who is looking for assistance or the opportunity to earn their requirements, regardless if you are a PFGC member, please contact our Youth Chairman.
