MATCH DIRECTOR – Robert Brantley
ADDRESS – ARENA Training 200 Sherman Rd Blakely, Ga 39823
MATCH DESCRIPTION
Come challenge yourself on a diverse course of fire while taking in the Southern hospitality and ease of stages along Sherman Road!
We will give you scenarios to challenge yourself and your gear without having to walk miles and miles. We have multiple ranges on site that will lend itself to different styles of stages and shooting. You will shoot in both open and wooded terrain with targets ranging from near to far. In previous matches all stages have been cleaned but still offer challenges to keep you on your toes.
We usually put our stages along the miles of roads we have going through the property allowing easy travel and access to each stage with minimal walking. This year we are planning on using parts of the property never used before for new stages.
In years past we have done a band a hog roast along with hangouts, drinks, and games on Sat night. Many people enjoy staying in one of our 30 cabins on site to make the match even more relaxing. We have a pond on site you’re welcome to fish and check out our resident gator who lives there.
No refunds will be available but if you need to sell your slot just keep us in the loop and we can adjust as needed.
RANGE OFFICERS
To help us reward and better secure quality ROs during the 2-day event, vetted individuals will be offered a complimentary match slot for the opportunity to complete all stages in 1-day timeframe (on the RO Shoot Day), for points amongst the other hunters and for prize eligibility. The opportunity at this is set to take place on the competitor Check-in Day.
*If you’re interested in ROing this event, please submit to the following RO Application: HERE. Anyone may apply, however, space is limited and not guaranteed. Those who volunteer to RO but are not selected will have the option to purchase a slot.
