Shooting Sports Guide Shooting Sports Guide 2020-2021 THE PROJECT Welcome to the Adams County 4-H Shooting Sports Project! The 4-H Shooting Sports program teaches members how to safely, responsibly, and ethically use firearms while having fun. Shooting is a skill that requires self-discipline, concentration, and individual effort. It can also require considerable financial resources. Before starting this project, please talk with one of our Adams County 4-H Shooting Sports leaders to get an idea of what equipment is required for each discipline. This guide will give you information about the project, the disciplines within Shooting Sports, the project requirements, a list of the trained shooting sports leaders in Adams County, and how individuals can qualify for Adams County and State Fair shooting contests. If you have any questions, please call the 4-H office at 303-637-8100. SHOOTING SPORTS LEADERS In addition to completing all required steps of becoming a 4-H leader (outlined on the Adams County 4-H website), all leaders who work as Shooting Sports instructors are required to attend a state- sponsored training in the Shooting Sports discipline(s) they instruct. To the right are listed the key shooting sports leaders for each discipline. If you have any questions as you proceed through the 2020-2021 shooting sports project, please contact them.

    International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health Article Pistol and Rifle Performance: Gender and Relative Age Effect Analysis Daniel Mon-López 1,* , Carlos M. Tejero-González 2 , Alfonso de la Rubia Riaza 1 and Jorge Lorenzo Calvo 1 1 Departamento de Deportes de la Facultad de Ciencias de la Actividad Física y del Deporte-INEF de la Universidad Politécnica de Madrid, 28040 Madrid, Spain; [email protected] (A.d.l.R.R.); [email protected] (J.L.C.) 2 Department of Physical Education, Sport and Human Movement, Autonomous University of Madrid, 28049 Madrid, Spain; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +34-913364109 Received: 17 January 2020; Accepted: 17 February 2020; Published: 20 February 2020 Abstract: Background: The sport overrepresentation of early-born athletes within a selection year is called relative age effect (RAE). Moreover, gender performance differences depend on the sport. The main objectives of the study were to compare performances between gender and RAE in precision shooting events. Method: The results of 704 shooters who participated in the most recent World Shooting Championship were compared. Performance was analysed by event (rifle and pistol), gender and category (junior and senior), together with RAE and six ranges of ranking positions. Results: The results of the study indicated that men scored higher than women in pistol events and that no performance differences were found in rifle events when the whole group was compared. According to the birth trimester, no significant differences were found in the participant’s distribution, nor in performance in any case. Conclusions: The main conclusions of the study are: (1) the men’s pistol performance is better than the women’s even though RAE is not associated to the shooting score in any case; (2) men and women performed equally in the general analysis, but their performances were different depending on category and event with no RAE influence.
