Help us brag on the Swain County Bullets & Bows 4-H Club! These hardworking young people have had an incredible season, and we couldn’t be prouder of their accomplishments, dedication, and sportsmanship! 🏆👏

Ten members traveled to Ellerbe, NC, on October 3 to compete in the 2026 NC 4-H Shooting Sports Tournament, after qualifying at the West District Tournament in August.

🥇 A special congratulations to Creed Monteith, who earned 1st Place Individual in Junior Sh***un and 1st Place Overall, and Carter Perkins, who earned 4th Place Individual in Junior Sh***un! Way to go!

❤️ A HUGE thank-you to the parents and families who provide support, our coaches and volunteers who give their time and knowledge, our sponsors—Anderson Contracting Inc., Taylor Family Construction, and William Morris—and everyone who cheered these 4-Hers on throughout the season. Your support makes a difference!

📸 A very special thank-you to Mindy Parton for the phenomenal photos taken at BOTH tournaments! Thank you for capturing these special moments and memories for our club and families. We truly appreciate your time and talent!

Our 4-Hers have represented Swain County with pride, and we are so proud of all they’ve accomplished this season!
