Welcome to the 2023 Sooner State Safari!

Peeping into a bygone world, “Sooners” is the name given to the settlers racing to claim unassigned land in what we call Oklahoma today. Imagine preparing yourself for a race to the wild interior of that land where you will claim your new homestead. From the firing shot, the odds are against you; a run with other settlers, and a wildland needing to be tamed, await you.

Oklahoma is abundant with game. Elk, Bison, and Antelope wander the open plains, while deer, coyotes, and turkey inhabit the river bottoms. The bounty is endless, yet the great outdoor adventure awaits at every corner in the frontier. You must tame this wild land, hunt, build shelter, and survive.

Now, imagine you are being transported back there in time with your current gear and the advantage to succeed where others have failed. Are you up for the challenge?

These hunting simulated stages will be themed based on the Western Frontier. It will consist of 16-18 stages, so prepare accordingly. Round count will be ~72-144 rounds, depending on your skill level completing each stage with either 1^st round impacts, vs misses/2^nd round impacts, but bring extra for getting velocity/PF for your tiebreaker, and zero’ing your rifle. The average target distance will 350 yards, but expect anywhere from approximately 150-800 yards.

Expect to be fed lunch both days via an onsite chuck wagon. A primitive camping area will be available, with an evening community fire pit. Port-a-Potties will be on-site. Be prepared to change plans if weather forecast looks severe.

There are no refunds, Transfers will be accepted via email only. The slot owner must email me the new shooter’s name and email address, no later than 14 days prior to the match, no transfers will be accepted after the 14-day window.
