Lee County Homeschool Shooting Team is part of the Youth Hunter Education program in North Carolina. You must be a resident of Lee County to participate. This program is for students in grades 7-12 only.

Parent Meeting & Tryouts

We can only have a max of 20 kids on the team. 2024-2025 active team members will automatically have a spot on the team the following year. There will be a tryout in November for all potential new members if there are any spots available on the team. All returning and potential new members should fill out the registration form below.

Weapons

The Lee County Wildlife Club provides the weapons and ammunition. All students are welcome to bring their own approved weapons.

We highly recommend each member at least buy their own compound bow, but this is not required.

Gear

Each team member MUST bring their own eye and ear protection to practice and tournaments.

Some people like to also buy belt pouches for bullets and belt quivers for arrows, but this is not required.

Team Practice

Each weekend kids practice with compound bow, rifle and shotgun. 

Practice Location: Lee County Wildlife Club, Sanford NC

Season: December-April, Saturday 2-5pm

Holidays: We will not have practice December 27th, 2025, January 3rd, 2026 and April 4th, 2026.

Team Tournaments

Each season we compete in 2-3 tournaments. The 4h tournament in January, the Chatham County Wildlife Club Tournament in March and the local tournament with other Lee County Schools in April. Details will be added here as the dates are confirmed for the 2026 season. 

Parent Volunteers

If you are a certified Range Safety Officer (RSO), or are interested in becoming one, please let us know! We also welcome any parents with shotgun, rifle, compound bow or hunting experience to share their knowledge with the team.

Annual Team Campout

The whole family is invited for our annual team campout! This happens sometime April-June depending on everyone's schedule. We all bring a side dish to share and some hot dogs for the grill. The pond is open for fishing and the kids can get some shooting practice in too if they want.
