Lapua Title Sponsor of the Canadian PRS Pro Series SAPRL Cactus Cup

Lapua, world-renowned for producing the highest quality centerfire ammunition and components, is partnering with the Southern Alberta Precision Rifle League (SAPRL) to provide PRS enthusiasts with support at the PRS Pro Series Cactus Cup taking place in Alberta, Canada from May 31st to June 1st, 2025.

“Lapua is happy and excited to offer our support for the PRS Pro Series Cactus Cup of 2025,” comments Sylva Hautamaki, Marketing Manager at Lapua. “We have seen the dynamic expansion in the PRS disciplines and are proud to be partners with a supportive community like the SAPRL that focuses on growing the sport and making it accessible for young and old.”

The SAPRL was formed in 2017 to offer precision rifle series style matches to Canadian participants, with matches now bringing in between 50 to 60 competitors for Rimfire and 80 to 100 rifle competitors for Centerfire field matches.

The Cactus Cup is a two-day Centerfire PRS Pro Series competition with targets ranging from 300 to 1200 yards. 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.

“The Cactus Cup is a staple of the Alberta prairie PRS matches that attracts shooters from all over Canada and the USA to compete in rolling hills, valleys, and the always present winds of Alberta”, explains Match Director Tyler Jalbert. “With new barricades 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.”

The SAPRL is delighted to have Lapua support as the title sponsor of the event which focuses on the shooter's fundamentals of movement, target acquisition, and time management while on the clock.

Jalbert says, “We believe that the name Lapua brings about a high level of precision and accuracy. Something that every PRS competitor is looking for to climb the podium and become the best.” He concludes about the event, “The greatest thing about the SAPRL Cactus Cup is the people. The family and friends that come together to compete against one another and make a weekend of fond memories on the firing line. Competitors look forward all year to attending the SAPRL events in order to reconnect, banter, and challenge one another. We encourage competitors of all skill levels to come and participate!”
