Shooters were racking up the milestones at the annual Labour Day Classic from the North Okanagan Trap and Skeet Club (NOTSC).

Seven participants got to shoot their special milestone registered targets at the four-day competition.

“We had seven people come here specifically to shoot their special target,” said organizer Lisa Salt. “We had people who shot 50,000 registered targets, we had one guy who shot 250,000. That’s a big deal in the shooting world.”

A registered target is one shot during a Pacific International Trapshooting Association (PITA) competition.

The following individuals nabbed their milestones:

Ted Rajkowski (Victoria)- 50,000

Brian Fooks (Lower Mainland)- 50,000

Dave Wallace (Fort St. John)- 100,000

Mario Domenis (Prince George)- 100,000
