Rifle

Rifle shooting has a long and rich history in Canada. Rifle events have been present at every summer Olympic Games since the birth of the modern Olympic movement (1896) with the exception of 1904 and 1928.

Today, many rifle events are available all across Canada and around the world.  For more detailed information you can go to the Wikipedia page on Shooting Sports
