RCMP Bests AST In 50th Anniversary International Shooting Competition
 After spending two years on American soil, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police will get to keep the team trophy in Canada after winning the team portion of the 50th Anniversary International Shooting Competition between the Mounties and Alaska State Troopers Aug. 13-16. The Mounties will get to keep two other awards as Corporal Ryan Hack and the competitors’ significant others bested the Americans during a four-day event in Whitehorse, Canada. Sgt. Tim Schoenberg of Fairbanks Judicial Services was the top shooter for AST during the target portion, coming in second to Hack. However, Department of Public Safety Commissioner Joseph Masters took the High Score for the Commissioner’s Cup by besting RCMP Chief Superintendent Peter Clark. Masters has won this award two years in a row. Soldotna Patrol Sgt. Odean Hall won the tactical competition on Sunday. Schoenberg’s fiancé, Katherine Hood, took top honors for the Significant Other Shoot Off Competition.
