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.

Levels in the Program: 

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.

Introductory Program: 

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.

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.
