Today’s Shooting USA broadcast features the 2024 NRL Precision Hunter Challenge held June 7-9, 2024 outside Price, Utah.

The NRL Precision Hunter Challenge features a multi-distance, walk-around shooting course similar in some ways to PRS/NRL, but limitations on weight and cost of equipment make this more affordable and more practical. This relatively new discipline is part of a series of very popular NRL Hunter events held around the nation. There were 24 NRL Hunter matches this year, culminating in the NRL Hunter Grand Slam held August 9-11 in Decorah, Iowa. CLICK HERE for NRL Hunter match information.

121 Shooters from all over the country competed in 23 challenging stages with both animal shapes and conventional square/diamond targets. The course of fire consisted of 160+ rounds with hiking between stages at the North Springs Shooting Complex. The Precision Hunter Challenge featured target distances from 200-850 yards, and angled shots between 0-10°. At the North Springs Shooting Complex, there were natural terrain obstacles and tree stands. Competitors had to navigate the terrain to establish their shooting positions — very much the opposite of a benchrest match.

This event is an opportunity to work on hunting situation shots, where hunters may expect natural terrain obstacles and thick cedars to navigate around and find shooting positions.

The Hornady Precision Hunter Challenge did just that!” said Travis Ishida, President of the NRL. “With a well-designed course of fire that was both challenging and fun, this match encompassed everything we are looking for…” he added.
