This is the 2023 Grand Slam the NRL Hunter season Championship. This event is designed to mimic the pressure of a Hunt.
Our goal with this event is to provide a safe match experience to all of the hunters. With Collin’s background in field match operations and competition, we want to make this a challenging find-range-engage match which will test all the hunters to their personal marksmanship limits. We aim to have the top hunters finish with roughly a 90% hit rate for the weekend. Targets will be challenging to find, track, and make appropriate wind and range calls on. Targets will be 1-4 minutes in size at their respective ranges, with a maximum distance of 1000 yards.
Each stage will test the competitor’s ability to do one or more of the following:
- Locating
- Ranging
- Wind Reading
- Target Size Estimation
- Non-prone positional shooting
- Movement between firing positions
- Tracking the appropriate target
Collin believes in testing everyone’s ability as ‘Well Rounded Riflemen” so expect some skills you may not normally work on.
We will have a gear swap table available for those interested in trading or selling some of their used but good condition gear.
Vendors will have booths set up for all attendees and the public to view.
It is possible a 22 challenge may be set up at the zero range.
Applied Ballistics will be on site during the zero range time to provide PDM to those who are interested. We anticipate this being a popular option, so please come early or email ahead if you want to participate.
