The National 4-H Shooting Sports program has joined the +ONE Movement, a national mentorship initiative led by the National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF) that encourages peer-to-peer mentorship in the hunting and shooting sports. The +ONE Movement encourages experienced target shooters and hunters to bring someone new along, helping them build confidence, skills and a lifelong passion for the outdoors. While individuals play a crucial role, +ONE Partners serve as the foundation for large-scale mentorship efforts, reaching hundreds of thousands of new participants each year.

As one of the most established youth shooting education programs in the country, National 4-H Shooting Sports provides hands-on instruction in firearm safety, archery and hunting ethics. Through a network of dedicated instructors and volunteers, the program fosters leadership, responsibility and a deep respect for conservation, ensuring young people have meaningful opportunities to develop skills and confidence in a supportive environment.

“The National 4-H Shooting Sports program focuses on teaching youth safe and responsible firearm use, archery and hunting ethics, supported by caring adult leaders,” said Scott Stuhr, program coordinator of 4-H Shooting Sports. “With over 25,000 instructors reaching 400,000 youth annually, we are proud to be an official +ONE partner. This collaboration strengthens our shared commitment to mentorship and education, fostering a love for shooting sports, hunting and conservation that will last a lifetime.”

“To fuel shooting sports and hunting traditions, we all must put in the time to mentor and educate others on the range and in the field,” said Justin Morrissey, NSSF director of social media and +ONE Liason. “National 4-H Shooting Sports allows community leaders to step up and play a role in advancing participation with youth and their families in a responsible way. Our +ONE partnership aims to expand outreach and participation to make more mentors and youth aware of the opportunities within 4-H Shooting Sports.”

Through the collaboration, National 4-H Shooting Sports and NSSF will work to expand outreach, engage more families and inspire individuals to invite someone new to the range or afield and pass down the traditions of safe, responsible firearm use.
