Shootout at Double R Ranch 2026

The Shootout at Double R Ranch runs April 17–19, 2026, at Double R Ranch in Sparta, Wisconsin. This NRL Hunter match is built for precision rifle hunters who want terrain-driven stages rather than square-range shooting.

‍

The property’s tall ridgelines and deep valleys force competitors to manage angles, movement, and target detection while maintaining ethical shot discipline. April conditions in Wisconsin are highly variable; rain, cold, or warm weather are all realistic possibilities.

‍

A dedicated RO shoot day allows selected Range Officers to complete all stages in a single day for points and prizes. Lunch is provided during the main match days, and onsite camping is available (no hookups).

‍

Match Details:

• Field-style NRL Hunter format
• Steep hills, valleys, and limited visibility engagements
• Emphasis on wind calls, target acquisition, and ethical shot selection
• RO shoot day before the main competition.
• No refunds; slot transfers allowed with notice
• April weather variability is a fundamental factor.

‍

Shooter Insight:

Expect slower stage pacing due to terrain and glassing demands; efficient binos and tripod work will matter as much as rifle fundamentals.
