MATCH DESCRIPTION

Welcome to beautiful Central Oregon! Our match is located in the high desert terrain just west of the Ochoco National Forest where you will be spoiled with breath taking views of the Cascade Range and Mt Jefferson during your stay. Central Oregon is home to Elk, Mule Deer, Cougar and Coyotes which provides endless opportunities for locals to get out and explore/hunt.

This will replicate a true western hunting experience, and the game animals here know better than to hang out in the open fields. You will be hunting in a juniper rich environment along a cliff approximately 1 mile long. This ground is rocky so wear boots with ankle support and watch your step! 20 stages, minimum round count of 80, max of 160 but having a few extra rounds may be beneficial for a side stage. Due to the terrain, expect to lose some brass. Targets will range from 200y-950y, average around 475y.

The parking area is a few hundred yards from the hunting area. The terrain outside of the parking area does not treat vehicles nicely so be prepared to put in roughly 4 miles of hiking across both days.

Average temps for the end of May range from 40º to 72º.

Bring your family and spend the weekend in Central Oregon. This area is LOADED with activities for every age group.

Rock climbing: Smith Rock State Park has over 2,000 recognized climbing routes.

Fishing: The Deschutes River is one of the premier fly fishing rivers of the PNW. May/June is the best time for big trout.

Shopping: The Old Mill District in Bend is a perfect place for your family to shop and dine while you’re shooting the match. There are more than 55 shops and restaurants spread across 270 acres along the Deschutes River. And did I mention that Oregon is TAX FREE shopping?

Beer: Central Oregon is home to over 40 breweries. If you’re a craft beer enthusiast be sure to check out some of the local brewpubs for a burger and beer.
