The Winnipeg Rifles keep missing the target.

The junior football squad suffered a 33-21 defeat to the previously winless Calgary Colts in the Alberta city Sunday afternoon.

Rifles quarterback Thomas Hubbard completed 12 of 31 passes for 229 yards, including a touchdown toss to Kaiden Banfield.

Adam Fast also scored a TD for the visitors on a fake field-goal attempt.

The Rifles host the Regina Thunder (3-1) this Sunday (1 p.m.) at Maple Grove Field.
