2026 NRL HUNTER Snake River Outdoorsman presented by Nightforce

This match is an opportunity to work on hunting situation shots. Target engagements will be between 100 and 1000 yards. This match is set up to mimic pressure situations of western open country hunting. The terrain is a deep canyon in the steep canyon country near the Potlatch and Clearwater Rivers in north-central Idaho. This time the firing line will be primarily in the bottom with both high angle and cross canyon engagements. This will be a varied and exciting course of fire, the firing line is approximately 1.7 miles long with a total elevation gain of about 350 ft. All targets will be animal based, and sized, to get good practice for hunting animals. We strive to get hunters time with their equipment, to make competitors better at their craft.

Skills entries will be limited to 15 spots on a first come first serve basis. If you wish to get more experience in shooting NRL Hunter matches, please come check out our NRL games matches. Snake River Outdoorsman on the games page or on Impactscoring.net.
