The Saskatoon Straight Shooters Archery Club (SSSAC) is a registered non-profit and run entirely by a group of volunteers. We are a Saskatchewan Archery Association affiliated club. Our primary goal is to promote archery in and around Saskatoon. We provide a fun, safe environment for archers of all ages to engage in this growing sport.

We offer a youth (JOP) archery program on Sundays from September through April.

Our adult/family night runs on Tuesday nights from 7-9. Both SWF and SSSAC memberships are required to participate.

Saskatoon Rifle & Revolver Club

Required entry level: Beginner
Club Contact: srrc.exec@gmail.com

• International Practical Shooting Confederation (ISPC)
• Canadian Police Combat

IPSC is a style of shooting that attempts to measure the ability to shoot rapidly and accurately with a handgun, rifle, and/or shotgun. Three elements (speed, accuracy, and power) form the sides of the practical shooting triangle. By design, each match will measure a shooter’s ability in all three areas. Learn more at www.ipsc-canada.org.

PPC is a somewhat slower type of target shooting, and is a great way to get a new shooter into competition, and hone the skills of sight alignment and trigger control. There are both traditional revolver and semi-auto classes. Learn more at www.cpca-ppc.org.

Saskatoon Rifle & Revolver Junior Club

Required entry level: Beginner
Club Contact: swf.srrc.juniorprogram@gmail.com

The Saskatoon Rifle and Revolver Junior Club, operating in partnership with the Saskatoon Wildlife Federation, offers a junior shooting program for youth 10 years and older. The youth are taught competition-style air rifles and air pistol target shooting. All equipment, targets, and pellets are supplied.

Levels in the Program

As the youth gain accuracy in their shooting, they work through various levels of achievement. Some choose to display their levels in the form of rings on a plaque. Youth earn their way to competing, if they wish, at the Provincial level, out of province, and eventually at national competitions.

Introductory Program

The Introductory Program begins with a safety talk and orientation. Youth start on air rifles and, at a certain level, can try air pistols if so desired. Focus at this stage is learning how to use the sights and getting their shots close together. Eventually, they are shooting without a stand and work on gaining balance and accuracy.

High-Performance Program

In competition, women and men shoot 60 shots. High-performance shooters can compete at events such as Grand Prix in Toronto, Canada Winter Games, Nationals, and eventually earn a position on the Canadian National Junior Team or on the Developmental Team for Canada.
