To achieve success in sharpshooting competition, Hall County 4-H S.A.F.E BB Rifle Team members spend half their time learning about guns and gun safety in a classroom, the other half on the range putting their knowledge and skill to use. Saturday, they tested their skills against some of the best sharpshooters in the county: law enforcement officers. The Gainesville Police Department and Hall County Sheriff’s Office joined forces with the Hall County 4-H Club’s S.A.F.E (Shooting Awareness, Fun and Education) BB Rifle Team to compete in the ninth annual “Cops and Kids BB Gun Challenge” at Chicopee Woods Agricultural Center.
