Hunter Games Rifle Competition

The Hunter Games Rifle Competition is designed to test your marksmanship with the rifle you’ll use this Fall – all in realistic hunting scenarios.

There are two divisions for the rifle competition:

Hunter: this division can be compared to that of a novice division, target distances will be closer, and competitors can drive to each stage. The round count for the Hunter Division is 20 to 40 rounds of ammunition for the course of 10 stages. This division will have a random draw prize table.

Carnivore: this division is similar to a pro division, target distances will be farther, the shots will be more difficult, and competitors will ruck with their gear from stage-to-stage. The round count for the Carnivore division is 40 to 80 rounds of ammunition for the course of 10 stages. This division will have an order of finish prize table.

Competitors are expected to use the gear they would use for hunting, for example, if you’re competing in the Carnivore Division and can carry it– you can use it. The rifle portion of the competition is expected to take five hours to complete with 50 shooters in each heat. Start options are:

– Friday morning
– Friday afternoon
– Saturday morning
– Saturday afternoon
– Sunday morning

Cost to compete in the Carnivore Division is $200, and the cost to compete in the Hunter Division is $100.

Competitors will shoot at game-shaped targets with a metal target in the kill zone.
