certified in shotgun and muzzle-
loader, and county level certi-
fied in 22. Pistol and rifle, air
pistol and rifle, hunting and
wildlife, archery, and western
heritage. He has currently
served as a 4-H coach for the
past 18 years and even though
his children are now adults, he
continues to volunteer as a
coach for 4-H in Garfield Coun-
ty.
Lindell says “I have enjoyed my
time and experiences through
Lindell
got his start with 4-H coaching
in 1998, when his two eldest
daughters started participating
in 4-H shooting sports. Lindell
made the decision to become a
certified coach, to ensure his
kids would be able to partici-
pate in aspects of the 4-H
shooting sports program.
Lindell has been certified in all
the 4-H shooting sports disci-
plines in the state of Oklahoma.
He has been state and nationally
4-H shooting sports, and all
these kids have accomplished
over the years. The best part of
being a coach in this program is
getting to watch these kids get
started in our sport and grow
through the program. Eventual-
ly, they will grow up and age out
of the program, but I hope to
have them back in the future, to
help with the youth, passing on
4-H to the future generations to
come.”

We had a successful turn out for the State Small-bore rifle and pistol contest. There were a total number of 23 competitors for the rifle
portion of the contest, and 11 competitors for pistol. The weather was sunny and hot with a slight cool breeze between various stages of
the competition. Several volunteers arrived early to help setting up target stands, arranging the safety line and firing points, and serving
as range officials for the day.
Range officials for the day were Christal Bensch, Terry Nelson, Billy Bullard, Jason Tacker, Charles Urquhart, Sterling Atwood, Ivan Rodg-
ers, Annette Brouse, and JJ Jones. Amanda Goeppinger, Susana Horton, Tonya Boatman and Michael Bensch volunteered to handle scoring.
As the participants arrived they were given instructions to take their cased firearms and equipment to be checked in by Michael Bensch
and Charles Urquhart. Check in ran smoothly and everyone was ready to compete, many bottles of water had already been consumed to
keep the participants, volunteers, and range officials hydrated.
The first part of the event was the Small-bore rifle contest, starting with the 3 position, then the CMP, and finally silhouettes. The second
part of the event was the Small-bore pistol contest, starting with silhouettes, then the slow fire bullseye, and ending with the Camp Perry
round.

2017 National 4-H Shooting Sports Championship Results
Clay Galbreath became the first person
to represent the state of Oklahoma for
the last 5 years at the National Shooting
Sports Championships. Clay has had a
very successful career throughout his
years in the 4-H Shooting Sports Pro-
gram.
Clay has been a huge inspiration to
younger 4-H members in the program,
as well as the people around him out-
side of his sport. Clay has always been
ready to lend a helping hand. He dis-
plays sportsmanship to his fellow com-
petitors and he has shown incredible
leadership skills. Clay has attended the
National championships in muzzleloader,
shotgun, .22 rifle, air rifle and compound
archery.
We wish Clay good luck in his future and
hope to see him back in the 4-H program
as a coach and volunteer!
