We’re excited to welcome you to the 2023 Hoosier Harvester put on by Nathan Cloud of Cloud Precision LLC and Andy Mugrage of Rivercity Rifle LLC. This hunter event will be held on a 1000 acre reclaimed coal mine with unique land features for central Indiana.
This hunting simulated event will consist of 16-18 stages that will test the hunters’ skills in finding, ranging, and engaging targets of various sizes and distances. Round count will be 64-144 rounds, depending on your skill level completing each stage with either 1st round impacts, vs misses/2nd round impacts, but bring extra for getting velocity/PF for your tiebreaker, and zero’ing your rifle. The average target distance will 650 yards, but expect anywhere from approximately 250 – 1,000 yards. A tripod is encouraged as it is a valuable tool for any hunter. There will be some land to cover so be sure to bring a bag to carry gear and snacks. It is expected to be hot in July, so please be prepared.
The Applied Ballistics lab will be on site for hunters to use in order to gather a custom drag model for their specific rifle system and ammo combination.
Plus, hunters may enjoy taking part in a corn hole tournament and enter into a bourbon raffle, hosted by the landowners! $50 tickets for the bourbon raffle are available on-site, and includes some rare bottles of high value!
