Fifth Annual THF Hunter’s Rifle Challenge 1. Hunting scenario based stages, using armor steel targets. No shots will be beyond 300 yards. 2. Any rifle you would hunt with, .223 to .30 caliber. No limitation on scope. Muzzle Velocity speed limit is 3100 fps. If you are damaging steel, your ammo will be chronographed, and you will be disqualified. 3. Hand-loaded ammo is not only allowed, it is encouraged. Bring 80 rounds 4. Target sizes range from 1.5 MOA/ .4 MIL to 3 MOA/ .9 MIL 5. Stages will include field shooting positions both supported and unsupported, bench shooting or prone, whichever the shooter prefers. 6. Mandatory 100 yard zero check prior to shooting the match. Paper targets will be provided. We will help spot and/or wrench on any equipment you may have trouble with. 7. Magazine fed rifles are preferred, but you may use any type rifle you like. Any semi-automatic rifle will be required to be placed on “safe” while the rifle and shooter are moving during a stage. 8. Round counts will be less than 5 for all stages. If your magazine only holds 3, be prepared to top load one or two additional rounds. 9. Additional observation optics, and tripods are allowed. If you can carry it, you can bring it. 10. Backpacks are not only allowed, they are encouraged. 11. All stages have a par time, and the times are very generous. If you are not done shooting, and you hear “time” you will stop shooting. Any hits made after time has stopped will not be counted. 12. All stages are known distance, to every target 13. All stages will have a round count. 14. There is NO RUNNING, but be prepared for a 600 yard walk first thing, and then several 100 to 200 yard walks back to the zero line. 15. This is a helpful, friendly atmosphere. Do not be afraid, if you have never shot a rifle competition. This is geared for new shooters to come out, get some hits, and have fun. You will receive plenty of help from Range Officers and other competitors. 16. Safety is paramount. Everyone is a safety officer. We have never had even a close call and we will keep it that way. All rifles are unloaded, bolt back, and pointing down range, away from people at all times! Once a shooter is up to the line they will be told to “load and make ready”. Bolts may not be closed until the rifle/ optic is pointing at the desired target. In the event someone points a muzzle at a person, they will receive one warning. If it happens again, they will be told to leave the property. 17. Bring clothing for any weather. Wear waterproof boots, you would hunt in. 18. I’m going to inquire about having BBQ catered, and you will pay the cook for your food. Bring cash. Also bring snacks and water in your pack. 19. Only pre-paid shooters are allowed. No paying the day of will be allowed. 20. Match fee is $56 21. Match T-shirt is $20 22. 30 shooters maximum. First come, first serve. If you register, but do not show up, you will not be refunded your entry fee. Match Registration can be found here: https://dallasreloads.com/product/2018-thf-hunters-challenge/Range Address is: 2213 CR 3835 Wolfe City, TX No matter what! Do not travel down Fannin County Road 3805. If it has been raining, it becomes a black mud road, and you will get stuck!

Did someone say "Dot Drill"!!!! ( 5- 1" inch dots at 100 yards in about 30 seconds). Practice up!!! If there are any sponsors interested, please let me know. Also, if you pay with CC, you may get an email error message. That's ok. I have not figured out the bug in this issue just yet, but the purchase/order will go through.

Wouldn't be a JG shoot if it weren't raining and cold as hell.

I called this and it did not rain on the long range match either. You made it rain on my birthday 2 years ago and I am still slightly bitter about that lol.

I'm in, error message received: "An error occurred while trying to report this transaction to the merchant. An e-mail has been sent to the merchant informing them of the error. The following is the result of the attempt to charge your credit card.
This transaction has been approved.
It is advisable for you to contact the merchant to verify that you will receive the product or service."
An unethical shot is one you take, that you know you shouldn't.
