The Saskatoon Straight Shooters Archery Club runs the archery programs at the Saskatoon Wildlife Federation. The SSSAC offers both youth and adult programs, as well as private group bookings. We are a Saskatchewan Archery Association affiliated club.
Our youth program (Junior Olympic Program) runs from September to May at the Saskatoon Wildlife Federation indoor range. Youth archers submit scores and earn badges while working on their archery skills. We occasionally have fun shoots and 3D shoots as well as attend other tournaments and the Provincial JOP Championship each year.
Our adult program is open to anyone over the age of 16 who are shooting at an 18 meter distance or further. This program also runs from September to May at the Saskatoon Wildlife Federation indoor range. The adult program also participates in a Mail Match and does fun shoots and 3D shoots on occasion. Many of our adult members also attend the SAA Provincial Tournament each year.
Private Group Bookings are available, contact club today. Our club can supply equipment for these bookings or you may bring your own. One of our two certified coaches will run these bookings and teach some basic introductory archery.

Saskatoon Rifle and Revolver Club Juniors operating at the Saskatoon Wildlife Federation offers a junior shooting program for youth 10 years and older. The youth are taught competition style air rifle and air pistol target shooting. All equipment, targets and pellets are supplied.
The Introductory Program begins with a safety talk and orientation. Youth start on air rifle and at a certain level can try air pistol 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.
As the youth gain accuracy in their shooting, they work through various levels of achievement. Some chose 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.
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.

IPSC is a style of shooting which attempts to measure the ability to shoot rapidly and accurately with a handgun, rifle, and/or shotgun. Three elements: speed, accuracy, and power (calibre) - form the three sides of the practical shooting triangle. By design each match will measure a shooter's ability in all three areas.
