Seventy-five guests took part in a fun turkey shoot June 10 at the Puntzi Airport Rifle Range.

Twenty-eight individuals participated, with each one competing in an average of four events.

Competitors came from Tatla Lake, Chilanko Forks, Redstone Reserve, Anaham Reserve and Williams Lake.

Trophies to high points went to: Men’s Division — Lawrence Elkins; Women’s Division — Bev Rondeau; Youth Division — Toby Charleyboy.

The event committee of Andrea Charleyboy, Dan and Jan Coates, Mary Williams, Chris Anderberg and Steve and Jill Horsman made sure everything went smoothly.
