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.

💥 Meet Your Student Executive — Jaxen Gattey, District 2 Junior High President
We’re continuing our Why I Rodeo series, highlighting the youth leaders who represent their districts and help shape the future of AHSRA Junior High.
This week, meet Jaxen Gattey, your District 2 Junior High Student President — a young leader who’s been riding and swinging a rope since before he can remember.
“My start in rodeo began at a very young age. I have been riding and swinging a rope since I was 2 years old. Both my parents rodeoed. I have always enjoyed going to local jackpots and rodeos.
My favourite event is calf roping because there are so many variables to make a good, smooth run.
What I enjoy most about being in AHSRA is that it provides opportunities for young, up-and-coming athletes to get an early start in rodeo.
Being the D2 Jr. High student president is important to me because I have a chance to better the association and encourage kids to be leaders.
One of my most favourite rodeo memories was winning provincials in the ribbon roping and competing at the Jr. National High School Finals Rodeo in the ribbon roping and goat tying in Des Moines, Iowa.
What makes the AHSRA like family is that everyone is there to lend a hand when needed so things run smoothly, and everyone encourages you even if you’ve had a tough day.
One of the goals I have for myself this year is to qualify for my second National JHSRA Finals.”
🤠 Thank you, Jaxen, for representing District 2 with leadership, sportsmanship, and heart!
