Burning Mountain Hunter Challenge Presented by Pure Precision runs Feb 27 – Mar 1, 2026, just outside Silt, Colorado, beneath the historic Burning Mountain. This event is designed for NRL Hunter competitors seeking a demanding yet fair field-style match.
The course features 20 stages laid out in rolling sagebrush flats and cedar draws, combining natural terrain with limited man-made props. Match directors—both long-time NRL Hunter competitors, designed stages to reward sound riflecraft, efficient movement, and clean decision-making rather than gimmicks.
Key Details:
- Field-style NRL Hunter format over 2 days
- Natural terrain with selective props
- Cold-weather environment (20–60°F typical)
- Limited cell service in the range
- Lunch provided Saturday; awards dinner Sunday.
- RO shoot-day option available (limited slots)
Shooter Insight: Expect wind management and terrain navigation to matter more than pure gear advantage; this is a thinking shooter’s match.
