TEAM ALBERTA WINS DOUBLE GOLD AT TARGET SHOOTING RANGE
Men and Women air pistol team events an All-Alberta affair
(Prince George, BC – Feb 17, 2015) Team Alberta added two gold medals on Tuesday, winning both the Men’s and Women’s air pistol team events in Target shooting at the 2015 Canada Winter Games in Prince George, BC.
Team Alberta athletes Peter and Veronika Schulze both posted the highest score of the day in their respective genders.
Peter Schulze (Calgary) won the Gold medal along with his teammate Andrew Thacker (Red Deer) combining a score of 1051 points. Schulze shot a 551-point match, just one point shy of his personal best while Thacker shot 501. Team Alberta won the event by 10 points over Saskatchewan.
This gold medal is Schulze’s third medal in three events at the Canada Winter Games. He won two bronze medals at the 2011 Games in Halifax. “If you stick with something and you really apply to it, you can find success in no matter what it is. Luckily I was young enough the first time so that I could come back to the Games four years later with four more years of experience and training. It’s really good see success again. In Halifax, there was some pretty stiff competition, but at the same time I knew I was prepared, shooting fairly well.”
Thacker shared mixed feelings, disappointed with his performance and at the same time happy with the gold medal. “This gold medal is amazing. I never thought shooting would take me this far. I’m not going to lie, I shot really badly today, but my partner had an awesome day, and it made it for it. I almost wanted to quit, but I knew there was still a chance so I pulled myself together. Once you shoot the shot, it’s gone. There is no point in worrying about it and just keep going, keep focusing on the next shot,” said Thacker, who started three years ago at age 15. “This is for sure the biggest, most important match of my career.”
In the women’s competition, Veronica Schulze (Calgary), 16, posted her career-best result shooting a 360-point match, the top result of the day. Combined with the second-best score of the day at 356 points thanks to teammate Ashley Pikkert (Blackfalds), 18, Team Alberta ended a perfect day at the range.
“My shooting wasn’t as high as my regular practice, but solid enough to win a gold medal with me and my partner. Having the two highest scores of the day shows that our training is solid, that we do well under pressure, and that all the work and competition we do throughout the year is certainly helping. The training we do with our coaches is beneficial to us.” said Pickkert, a four-time provincial champion who enjoyed the event and the crowd atmosphere at the Canada Games.
The individual air pistol events will be held tomorrow and Thursday.

Announcing the SFC’s New HPP Junior Assistant Coaches
Please welcome Dave, Lisa and Florin!
As you may have heard, the Shooting Federation of Canada Executive Committee has committed to fund its High Performance Junior Program. Members of the Junior Program represent some of the best Under-21 shooting talent that Canada has identified in the Olympic rifle, pistol and Shotgun events. The SFC’s commitment to our Junior athletes extends beyond facilitating access to international ISSF events. We will be funding training camps. Additionally, we will ensure that qualified coaches support our junior athletes at significant targeted events. To bring this program to light, we have expanded the number of staff working within the Junior High Performance Program. Patrick Haynes, VP of High Performance, plus Richard Lanning, National Junior Development Coach, will be setting the direction for the program. The following additional people will be taking on direct coaching roles:
- Lisa Borgerson, National Junior Development Assistant Coach (Pistol)
- Dave Woolridge, National Junior Development Assistant Coach (Rifle)
- Florin Marinache, National Junior Development Assistant Coach (Shotgun)
Lisa and Dave have been working with the Junior HPP for a few years, most notably in Suhl, Germany, last year. Florin has taken on the challenge of working with the Senior Trap athletes, helping them prepare for the upcoming 2015 Pan American Games. He’ll be transitioning to his new role as we move through and past the Games.
Please congratulate our Junior Development Coaches: Richard, Dave, Lisa and Florin. Better yet: offer your support!
