Long Range Shooting Events & Competitions

overview

The Colemans Creek Hunter runs May 29–31, 2026, in Ellerbe, North Carolina, using dense woodland terrain to replicate realistic hunting scenarios. This event is built for shooters who value fieldcraft, efficient movement, and solid fundamentals over square-range shooting.

Competitors must locate, range, and engage steel targets while adapting to changing light, weather, and terrain. Distances stretch from 150 to 950 yards, with tripod use strongly recommended. Stages are grouped into multiple shooting areas, and shooters will drive between locations rather than hike long, continuous courses.

Key Details:

  • Natural terrain, hunting-style stages with unknown-distance targets
  • Engagement distances from 150–950 yards
  • Tripod-heavy positional shooting favored.
  • 100-yard zero range Friday, with validation out to 1,200 yards
  • Lunch is provided both days; dinner is provided on Saturday.
  • No refunds; slot transfers allowed via match staff

Shooter Insight:

This match rewards calm target identification and stable tripod work more than speed or aggressive stage movement.
