It's time for a change in scenery. We're going from the high desert to the high country. We love our original range, loosely modeled after a local range located in rural Colorado, but it's easy to get tired of the dry desert and it's time to get up into the Rockies.
Situated in the forest, within the shady pines, this range builds on feedback from our shooters and leverages what we have learned building courses so far. More verticality and versatility were a couple goals, as well as something that's simply visually different. This range isn't modeled after any range we've been to, it's more like what we'd build if we had a plot of land on the mountainside, and a bunch of machinery to carve and shape it to our vision of a fun place to shoot.
Our first course on this new range is featured in the First Annual High Country Hootenanny 3-Gun Tournament. This tournament is the first of many, challenging shooters to run 3 courses with only one chance to compete on each. No retry, no reset, make Every. Shot. Count.
Once you've participated in the tournament, you'll be able to replay the course on the new range. The course will stay locked until you've completed it in order to preserve a course that shooters are not allowed to do scored practice runs ahead of the tournament. You will be able to walk the course and formulate a strategy before your scored run in the tournament. Rest assured, we'll be adding more courses to the new range after the tournament concludes. The High Country Hootenanny will happen May 21st through May 30th.
Each tournament will run for a limited time, giving shooters a chance to participate at their convenience. Once you have finished your runs, you'll want to keep checking back to see how your results stack up against the shooters that are finishing theirs.
Once the tournament has concluded, shooters will be awarded medals for placing 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place, as well as top 10, and top 50. As we run more tournaments, we'll add a place to see your accomplishments and a way to show your prowess to other shooters.
The High Country Update rolls out Friday May 21st.
Thanks and good luck in the Hootenanny!
