Looking Forward to 2010

I have watched youth from this state grow up in the NRA/OK Youth Hunter Education Challenge program. I can tell you that they are some of the most well mannered, responsible and fun kids to be around. It has been such a great experience for me to be involved in this program. The main goal of the program is to pass on the heritage of hunting to the next generation. The youth who participate in this program have the opportunity to try out their skills against other youth and to gain knowledge in which to improve and build their skills as they compete. The best part about the program to me is to see the friendships that are formed between the participants who come from different parts of the state. These kids look forward to the next event so that they can catch up with their friends for some friendly competition.

I would like to personally thank all of the volunteers throughout the State of Oklahoma who are such a vital part of the YHEC program. Without the dedication and commitment of these fine people, the program would not exist. Thank you to the Friends of the National Rifle Association Oklahoma committees for their hard work in fundraising throughout the years, because of their efforts the YHEC program has been successful in acquiring grant money to assist in running the state-wide events. Thank you to all of our sponsors who are listed on our website. Your generous support is most appreciated.

Looking forward to a successful 2010 NRA/OKYHEC season!

Congratulations on a season full of events across Oklahoma that you have worked hard to put together. YHEC is a very important tool to bring hunting saftey to youth. I know you will do an outstanding job in doing just that. The new web site is a reflection of the quality of leadership in the YHEC program that will be brought to the youth of Oklahoma in the future as well. Again, good job Carey, and continue to give great leadership to your coordinators.

Thank you Mark Fuqua and Phil Eitzen and volunteers for a well run, fun and safe event. Your efforts are most appreciated. Thank you to the Canton History Day folks who served lunch. Thank you Courtney for your expertise in scoring, you are a valuable asset to the program.

Please send any feedback on the event via this blog. Your comments and suggestions will be helpful in making YHEC even better in Oklahoma.

Hope to see many of you in Tishomingo on March 27th. Please remember to get your registration in early as this helps out the event coordinator with the planning for food and prizes.
