The gunman, Oliver Corney, 35, received a 16 year and nine month sentence at Sheffield Crown Court today.
He will spend 11 years and 9 months in prison, with a five-year extension on licence the BBC reports.
Judge Jeremy Richardson KC said he "narrowly avoided a life sentence" after he "wrecked [Bonita's] life".
Video footage released by South Yorkshire Police shows the terrifying moment Mr Corney opened fire outside the busy pub.
Corney cannot be seen in the video, but four men in the street can clearly be seen confronting him.
Meanwhile, Bonita leaves the beer garden, passing through a gate to speak to the men.
Several individuals begin to crowd around the gated fencing while the group of men flinches backwards as a shot is fired.
One of the men charges at Corney as he begins firing the gun.
The first shot appears to land just inches in front of one of the men's shoes.
As two of the men walk away casually, another bullet ricochets off the floor where one of them had been standing just moments before.

Bonita can then be seen limping back in to the pub garden.
Once the footage is slowed down, a bullet can be seen hitting Bonita's upper leg moments before she flinches in pain.
It left her needing surgery to repair the muscle damage in her leg.
Following the attack, Bonita gave up her licence and is yet to return to work.
She still suffers from leg pain, as well as heightened anxiety and PTSD.
On June 28, 2024 a fight over drugs had broken out between two pub-goers.
After hearing about the disagreement, an intoxicated Corney arrived at the scene.
During a confrontation outside the pub, Corney then fired the gun three times.
While he was aiming at one of the men, he accidentally shot Bonita as she attempted to resolve the fight.
Corney fled the scene, getting rid of the gun and asking his partner to dispose of his clothes.
The judge told the court that she would be honoured with a bravery award at a ceremony during a later date.
The gunman had a long history of convictions, including violence, sex offences, firearms and drugs offences.
