Welcome to the 2024 Willow Creek Washout NRL Hunter event. This match will provide realistic hunting scenarios from natural terrain in the rolling foothills of the Canadian Rockies West of Stavely Alberta.
Target distances ranging from 150-900 yards, with a few possibly challenging up to 1200. Every stage will have one clearly marked target indicator. Majority of targets will be 2 MOA and a few to test the ability of equipment and yourself.
Water and snacks will be located throughout the area, however it is always a good thing to have extra with you. Plan on completing 18 stages total, with 12 the first day and 6 the second. Total round count to be approximately 144 rounds plus more for site in. 100 yd Zero range will be available on Friday. No extended distances available, so proof your dope before you come.
RANGE OFFICERS:
To help us reward and better secure quality ROs during the 2-day event, vetted individuals will be offered a complimentary match slot for 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.
