Project S.A.F.E. (Archery Club)
Georgia 4-H Project SAFE uses the shooting sports to teach many valuable life skills. Project SAFE (Shooting Awareness, Fun and Education) provides youth a place to develop a sense of belonging, learn teamwork in a safe environment and increase concentration skills. Safety and the responsible use of firearms and archery equipment is a primary goal. Trained volunteers lead clubs in BB, Air rifle, Air Pistol, 22 Rifle, Shotgun and Archery in over 110 counties.
The Fayette County Extension 4-H program offers the SAFE Archery program at this location.
