The 2026 Guardian Long Range – Arkansas runs May 15–17, 2026, at Twisted Barrel Precision in Little Rock, Arkansas. This weekend combines precision rifle competition with a charitable mission supporting children in need.
Friday is optional and includes check-in, open range time, zero and DOPE validation, and non-scored side stages (pistol and NRL Hunter–style). Saturday is an individual precision rifle match, followed by a Sunday team event where squads are paired based on Saturday results, intentionally mixing experience levels to encourage mentoring.
What to expect:
This match prioritizes community, learning, and mission over intensity.
Shooter Insight:
If you’re newer to precision rifle, this is one of the few matches where on-the-clock coaching and Sunday team pairing actively work in your favor; show up Friday, validate DOPE early, and lean into the mentoring culture.

Located just south of Little Rock, AR, Twisted Barrel Precision spans 250+ acres with eight purpose-built ranges from 30 yards to over 1 mile, built for serious long-range and positional shooters.
