El Paso, TEXAS — The Desert Valley 4-H shooting team has been around for 15 years, and they are ready to introduce more people to the sport as the team prepares for the upcoming state championship.
"We would love to introduce more people to the sport of competitive shooting," says Eric Clark, President of the Adult Leaders Association. Clark says youth who routinely practice may receive full scholarships to universities and colleges with shotgun shooting teams. Clark insists all kids on the team take a gun safety course before stepping out onto the range. He also encourages a hunter education course for youth. The team routinely practices at El Paso Skeet and Trap Club. Coaches include Tess Clark and Phil Chacon. Clark is the archery coach for the team and also the co-manager of the club. Audra Tellez is another manager of the team, who speaks fluent Spanish.
The Desert Valley 4-H shooting team frequently competes in New Mexico because of El Paso's location. But the team focuses on the Texas state championship each year, which includes archery and shotgun games.
The El Paso Skeet and Trap Club will host a variety of events as part of fundraising for Desert Valley 4-H. If you need additional information on any of the below events, call (915) 859-7325...
