Caldwell Whitetail Madness 2026

Caldwell Whitetail Madness runs March 27–29, 2026, in Atlanta, set across rolling hills designed to replicate actual hunting conditions rather than square-range stages. This event targets experienced NRL Hunter competitors and practical long-range hunters who want realism over gimmicks.

The match emphasizes fieldcraft, decision-making, and ethical shot execution. Friday includes RO shooting and competitor check-in with weigh-in, velocity, and zero confirmation. Shooting begins Saturday after a mandatory safety brief, with Sunday wrapping stages followed by awards and dinner.

‍

Match Highlights:

• Field-style hunting course; terrain-driven stages
• Realistic target presentations reflecting hunting shots
• Velocity, zero, and equipment verification required
• Two-day competitive format with strict start times
• Limited RO slots with an optional one-day RO shoot for points
• A remote location requires advanced travel planning.

Shooter Insight:

Expect fewer “gimme” stages, wind reads, target ID, and position choice matter more than raw speed.
