“It’s great seeing the junior/younger shooters that are competing and seeing them slowly improving. I’m hoping that in another year we can send a few of our juniors from the Sunshine Coast Rod & Gun Club to the competitions around Vancouver to compete and represent our local club,” Allan Harding told Coast Reporter after the competition.

Harding won the event last year and so this win doesn’t change his status on the Canadian National Team. He will be competing at the International Shooting Sport Federation World Cup Series stages in June in Munich, Germany before heading to Baku, Azerbaijan, two weeks later for another stage competition.
