2025 SAPRL - Cactus Cup Presented By Lapua

EVENT DETAILS

SAPRL is proud to bring the PRS PRO series to its lineup of matches for the 2025 season. The Cactus Cup is a staple of the Alberta prairie matches that attracts shooters from all over Canada and the USA to compete in rolling hills, valleys, and the always present winds of Alberta.

The Cactus Cup will focus on a shooter's fundamentals of movement, target acquisition, and time management while on the clock. With new props and targets at our disposal we look to provide competitors with a weekend that will be a highlight of the matches they experience in Canada. We encourage competitors of all skill levels to come and participate! The course of fire has been meticulously planned out to ensure that not only the competitive shooters are challenged but newer participants have a fantastic time as well. Our number one goal is to grow this sport!

Event location is just 23 minutes (32 kms / 20 miles) North West of Central Medicine Hat down Highway 1 and Highway 524. Further directions to the official location will be provided in the registration email for competitors.

Match Fees for the weekend are $250 CAD / Juniors: $125

We encourage our Canadian participants to use E-Transfer and send the EMT to generalsaprl@gmail.com. PLEASE put your name and the match you are registering for in the match description. Ie, Cactus Cup.

For our International Competitors, once you are approved to squad refer to your Personal Management Page to pay using “STRIPE.” If you have not paid after seven days of being approved you will be removed and will have to re-register if wanting to participate.

Match Registration Fees are Non Refundable. If you are unable to make the event you will be responsible for selling your spot to another participant and informing us of the change.

If there are any requests to be squadded with certain competitors please reach out to us
as we can make these arrangements. However, please know it is not a guarantee that all requests for squadding can be met as SAPRL retains the right to arrange competitors in a way that creates balanced squad sizes to retain a steady match flow.
