Aim Beyond Limits – Compete, Connect, Celebrate.
Welcome to X9CUP, a globally open airgun competition series hosted in Burnaby, British Columbia by the Canadian National Shooting Training Centre (CNSTC). From January to November, athletes compete every two months in ISSF‑standard 10m Air Rifle and Air Pistol events, earning points toward the year‑end X9CUP Final Championship.
About X9CUP
The X9CUP provides a structured, inspiring circuit of five ranking events plus a Grand Final — all at CNSTC’s 10m range in Burnaby. The series welcomes athletes from around the world. Points earned across the ranking events determine invitations to the X9CUP Final, where champions are crowned and cash prizes are awarded from the cumulative prize pool.
Each event runs on SIUS electronic targets and follows ISSF rules to ensure fairness and high performance standards. Whether you are an emerging junior or a national‑team athlete, X9CUP is designed to help you grow, connect, and compete.
