Welcome back to Blue Ridge for our first NRL Hunter Series match. Located in Benge Washington along the Palouse Rive in Easter Washington Blue Ridge will offer shooters of all experience levels a fun, fast paced exciting course of fire. New for 2022 we will be using one of the new ranges on range three. Most of the stages will be actual hunting experiences we have had with our clients over the past years. You will be shooting over farm fields, natural grassy terrain with some sage brush draws and eyebrows. There will be 18 stages ranging from 100-1200 yards. A minimum round count of 72 and max of 144 will be needed for the match. You will need to bring extra rounds for zero, power factor, and side matches you may want to compete in. We will be providing water and snacks throughout the day in the staging areas. Parking will be onsite near the range so you can expect a little walking to the shooting area.
We will be having a few side matches that will begin Friday and run through Saturday.
- Rimfire SAGE RAT SHOOT OUT
- Archers Shootout
- Clay Bird, Flush or Bust.
We recommend if you have your own shooting equipment for these side matches especially archery to bring it. We will have some 22’s and shotguns on hand to borrow.
