Peninsula Long Rifle Association held its 37th Sequim Summer Rendezvous from July 22-25 off Taylor-Cutoff Road.

About 125 participants shot rifles, pistols and arrows, and threw knives and tomahawks in trail and skill competitions.

Special events included a skillet toss, underwear shoot and egg shoot.

Men, women and children dress and live like settlers during the event, using only primitive tools and weapons.

Participant Christine Stockman, of Port Angeles, has competed in Sequim for five years and says the event gives her an appreciation for what her ancestors had to do.
