This is the 2024 Grand Slam the NRL Hunter season Championship. This event is designed to mimic the pressure of a Hunt.
Our goal with this event is to provide a safe match and fun experience to all of the hunters.
This Match will consist of 18 Stages (estimated at this time). These hunting simulated stages will be created on a range of rolling hills, with mixed vegetation, from creek bottoms, to wooded draws to open valleys. Targets will be steel animals, (p-dogs, crows, bobcats, coyotes, otters, pigs, deer, and wolves.) Others will be life size silhouettes with vital sized plates.
Safety rules will follow the NRL rules as published for 2024 with the addition of CHAMBER FLAGS being used. Chamber flags may be removed moments before your time is started at the direction of the Range Officer on that stage.
