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. 

Wyoming is a hunting and firearms friendly state, and this event will be open to spectators. Spectators will be asked to sign a waiver but then may participate in demo stages testing equipment in a field scenario by manufacturers including: Gunwerks, Thunder Beast Arms Suppressors, Stag Arms, Maven Optics, and many others. We are pleased to have Bond’s Brewing Company, a Laramie staple, offer a location to host awards and serve BBQ wings and pulled pork dinner on Sunday.

Laramie has a commercial airport; however, it may be easier to fly into Denver and drive the 2 hours to Laramie which has all the amenities you may expect from a small city. We are working on reserving a discounted rate at a couple hotels, information to follow. Those interested in camping may do so on site at the Laramie Rifle Range’s dry campground on a first come first served basis, but we will have restroom facilities available on site. Camping space is limited so contact Collin at Sales@FehuOutdoors.com to reserve space.

Collin has a background hunting in Wyoming and competing in various field-style shooting events around the country so this is sure to be an event you will not want to miss.

SEEKING ROs

To help us reward and better secure quality ROs during the 2-day event, vetted individuals will be offered the opportunity to complete all stages in 1-day timeframe (on the RO Shoot Day), for points amongst the other hunters and for prize eligibility. The opportunity at this is set to take place on the competitor Check-in Day.
