The Bonnyville Shooting Sports Association held its first Indigenous Rifle Shooting Provincials on June 20 and 21.

Poor weather limited participation, as did the general lack of awareness of shooting competitions, said organizers.

The event began with a practice and information session on June 20, with newcomers introduced to the sport where .22 calibre rifles were shot at targets 50 metres away.

Younger shooters shot in the prone position and older participants shot from the prone, kneeling and standing positions. On June 21, all shooters completed 120 shots.

Master Men -John Shirt, score of 996.
