The mission of SAR is to facilitate an introduction to the lifetime sport of target shooting to school-aged youth in grade 4 through grade 12.

The purpose of the SAR is to increase involvement in shooting sports, enhance educational performance, and promote positive youth development through firearms safety and target shooting education.

The vision of SAR is everyone will have opportunity to participate in shooting sports and target shooting will be universally regarded as safe, universal and fun.
