The AHSRA offers Shooting at some regular season rodeos as well as our Provincial Finals. This shooting competition offers the top 4 qualifiers from the Junior High and High School Divisions, spots on the National Team. This event is an optional event and doesn’t count for the Alberta High School Rodeo High Point, but allows those with an interest in shooting to be a part of the AHSRA. There are multiple opportunities to qualify for prizes and scholarships through your participation in this event.
All shooters must purchase a student membership from the Canadian Coalition for Firearms Rights (CCFR).
You must provide proof of membership when you enter. Email a copy of your membership to ahsradata@gmail.com.
All shooters will also need the following equipment to enter the shooting competition:
The competition will consist of shooting from 3 positions. Prone, kneeling and standing. One target for each position.
The A-23/5 target has one “sighter” and 4 bullseye. You will be allowed to shoot 5 rounds from the prone position into the sighter prior to the competition starting.
Once the competition starts you will shoot 3 rounds into each of the 4 bullseye for a total of 12 shots per position. So a total of 41 rounds will be required for one competition.
At the NHSRA Finals, there is also an added component of Trap shooting or Skeet shooting. These options are not yet available in the AHSRA but we are working towards including them.
These are the basics of what is needed, more detailed information will follow. Please refer to the following documents for specifics regarding shooting:
If you have any questions please reach out to your shooting director.

Next up is Corbin Anderson! 🇨🇦🎯
Rayelle Rose caught up with one of our Junior High National Finals light rifle competitors to hear how his week has been going.
Corbin might be a little disappointed with how his competition turned out, but he isn’t letting that take away from the experience. He’s having a great time at Nationals, making memories, and enjoying every opportunity that comes with competing on the national stage.
That’s the attitude we love to see.
Keep your eye on the target, Corbin! Team Alberta is proud of you and cheering you on every step of the way.
Hear it straight from Corbin!

Next up is Layton Klassen! 🇨🇦🤠
Rayelle Rose caught up with Layton to hear how his Junior High National Finals week has been going.
Layton put together a quick chute dogging run, but unfortunately picked up a +10. That’s rodeo.
What stood out even more than the run, though, was the smile on his face. Layton is absolutely beaming about his National Finals experience, and you can tell just how much this week means to him.
These are the kinds of interviews that make us so proud of Team Alberta. It’s about more than the results—it’s about the attitude, the memories, and the opportunity to compete on one of rodeo’s biggest stages.
Hear it straight from Layton!
Keep enjoying every minute, Layton! Team Alberta is cheering you on! ❤️🤍❤️

We’ve got a new reporter! 🎤🤠🇨🇦
With Rayelle officially losing her voice, we couldn’t leave anyone out. So Ruby Rose stepped in behind the camera to fill the big shoes of both Steve Bishell and Rayelle, making sure Team Alberta’s stories kept coming.
This time, Ruby caught up with our D1 saddle bronc rider, Will Norby.
Will might be a man of few words, but he says he’s having a pretty good time at Nationals—and sometimes that’s all that needs to be said.
Thanks, Ruby, for stepping up and keeping the interviews rolling, and good luck to Will as he continues his National Finals experience!
Hear it straight from Will.

Next up is our D1 goat tier, Jorja Griffith! 🇨🇦🤠
Rayelle Rose caught up with Jorja to hear how her Junior High National Finals week has been going.
Jorja tied her goat, but unfortunately it got up. Tough luck for our cowgirl! The best part? She’s still smiling, laughing, and enjoying every minute of the experience. That’s the kind of attitude that makes Team Alberta so much fun to cheer for.
And one more update… Rayelle’s voice is officially on its last legs. 😂 We may have broken her after all these interviews! Thanks for sticking with us and enjoying the captions while she powers through.
Keep smiling, Jorja! Team Alberta is cheering you on! ❤️🤍❤️
