The Leupold Southern Hunting Challenge runs March 13–15, 2026, in Blakely, Georgia, offering a relaxed but well-organized long-range competition with a strong emphasis on practical shooting fundamentals.
This match is aimed at experienced long-range and hunting-style precision shooters looking for variety rather than pure PRS-style repetition. Shooter numbers are intentionally limited to improve spacing, reduce congestion, and keep stages engaging.
What to expect:
- Two-day hybrid format: field-style match + precision rifle stages
- Day 1 field course with 8 stages featuring movement, angles, and positional shooting
- Day 2 long-range firing lines focused on ranging, dialing, and data management.
- Shuttle support, multiple parking areas, and water along the field course
- On-site cabins, campsites, and primitive camping are available.
- Food provided both days, with Saturday night supper and social events.
Shooter Insight:
This match favors adaptable shooters who can manage movement and terrain one day, then slow down and refine fundamentals on structured long-range stages the next.
