Ruutikangas Shooting Sports Center is the perfect venue for shooting competitions of all levels, from national events to major international competitions. Local shooting clubs play a vital role as key partners in organizing these events. We’re working closely with the Finnish Shooting Sports Federation to bring a variety of international competitions to the region.
