Welcome to the 2024 Manners Elite Hunter presented by Big River Ballistics! This match will provide realistic hunting scenarios as seen with Southern Oklahoma Hunting; pig, coyote, wolf, Whitetail deer, prairie dog, and rabbit. The Property will provide blind stages to test you across all aspects of field shooting & hunting with targets ranging from 200 – 900 yards with average targets at 500 yards. 

This hunting simulated event will consist of up-to 20 stages, so prepare accordingly. Round count will be 80-160 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. 

SEEKING ROs:
