Alaska International Senior Games (AISG)
The Alaska International Senior Games (AISG) promotes fitness and healthy lifestyles through activities and games for seniors, ages 50 and older. AISG bills the games as, "No experience required. It’s a Golden Opportunity for all." AIM-COMM and the Alaska Department of Fish and Game (ADF&G) Hunter Education Indoor Shooting Range (HEDR) in Fairbanks, Alaska, partners with AISG to offer indoor shooting (.22-caliber rifle and pistol) events as part of the annual games.
The date for the indoor shooting events - .22-caliber rifle and pistol shooting - of the 2012 Alaska International Senior Games has been set for Wednesday, 15 August. Event times are as follows:
- RIFLE Shooting: 1 to 3 p.m. (Check-in is from 12:45 to 1:15 p.m.)
- PISTOL Shooting: 3 to 5 p.m. (Check-in is from 2:45 to 3:15 p.m.)
These events are open to persons ages 50 or older. Participants need to provide their own firearms and ammunition (all in safe, working order). Eye and ear protection is required. Event organizers highly recommend participants practice well in advance of the event.
