Leupold Relentless Rifleman runs May 29–31, 2026, near Madras, Oregon, just west of the Ochoco National Forest. This event is built for shooters who want a realistic western hunting experience in rugged high-desert terrain.
Competitors will move along a roughly one-mile juniper-covered cliff line, engaging steel from natural positions while managing footing, wind, and elevation changes. The match consists of 18 stages spread across two days, with significant hiking required. Expect rocky ground, limited vehicle access beyond the parking area, and terrain that favors disciplined movement and efficient gear management.
This is well-suited for experienced NRL Hunter competitors and physically prepared shooters. Family-friendly amenities, dry camping, and nearby lodging make it approachable logistically, but the course itself is demanding.

- Format: NRL Hunter-style, western hunting simulation
- Stages: 18 total (12 Saturday, 8 Sunday)

Shooter Insight:
This match quietly punishes poor movement and footing choices as much as stormy wind calls, travel light and stable, or you’ll bleed time and energy by Day 2.
