Gauging interest on a Ruck/shooting event.

Ton of great ideas out there! Cool to know there is a pile of people thinking the same way!

I am all for new venues and matches. I wish there were more shooting and rucking events in or near Virginia. I shot Mammoth here in 2025 and will again in 2027.

sounds rad. in the 6-12 camp 1 day but 24 hr two day sounds fun too. a shoot like this could be great especially leaning heavy into the endurance side. time + a constants smoke sesh between stages for a long time could be a great equalizer in a space filled with a lot of great shooters and rifles built to "GAME" the game. cool idea

You guys go ahead, i’ll stay back here w the beer.

Really.

Youall have too much energy for me. I worked from 0645 til 0030 and am winding down. No time or energy for these event tho they sound fun.

My thought for this has been a 5k type event.

Always moving with hunting gear on you. Pack weight = probably 25-30#. Something reasonable.

At mile 1, you "spot" game. Have a 3D target stashed somewhere in a field with very little exposed. A couple tines. An ear. You glass, find it, report a location/bearing/distance and move on.

At mile 2 you stalk. Idk how to simulate this.

At mile 3 you shoot and get the option to drag or pack a weight to finish.
