Summary

The 2026 Apex Rocky Mountain Challenge runs July 11–13, 2026, in Millarville, Alberta, and is presented by Apex Optics. This is a 2-Day Pro Series Qualifier under the Precision Rifle Series, hosted in the foothills of the Canadian Rockies during the Calgary Stampede.

Designed for experienced competitors and serious PRS shooters, the match emphasizes fundamentals under pressure—movement, target acquisition, wind reading, and time management—using predominantly natural terrain with exposed foothill wind conditions.

What to expect:

  • Natural terrain PRS stages in rolling foothills with consistent wind challenges
  • Optional Friday Train-Up Day (up to 6 stages, $50 CAD) and Side Stage Match
  • Zero board at 100 yards with reticle leveling plumb bob (open all weekend)
  • Two full match days with catered lunches and on-site hydration provided
  • Saturday evening's social event included a catered dinner and music.
  • Nearby hotel blocks, RV parks, and camping options are available.

Shooter Insight:

This match rewards disciplined wind calls and efficient stage flow; expect Alberta winds to be the deciding factor, not prop complexity.
