The Honourable Herménégilde Chiasson, Lieutenant Governor of
New Brunswick and RNBRA President Bob Kierstead.

Hello fellow shooting enthusiasts, welcome to the Royal New Brunswick Rifle Association web page. We are an Association which has been promoting target shooting sports in New Brunswick continuously since 1866. Yes that makes us older than the country of Canada. We were here on the shooting ranges of New Brunswick when Canada became a country, and we celebrated the birth of this Nation with a rifle salute, as we have been doing ever since.

We received our Royal designation from the Monarchy in England, a designation in which we take great pride.

RNBRA promotes target shooting sports throughout the Province of New Brunswick. We promote target marksmanship and safety. Our Association supports target shooting in New Brunswick with a variety of marksmanship and safety training programs.

Throughout our very long and honorable history, members of our association have distinguished themselves and our Association throughout the province, across Canada and around the world, including up to the Olympic level.

RNBRA is home to target shooters in a wide variety of rifle, pistol and shotgun disciplines. We encourage you to enjoy the great sport of target shooting and carry on with us the tradition we began in 1866.

Yours in Shooting Sports
Bob Kierstead
President, RNBRA
