"Mountain Rifle Challenge " 2026 May 2nd

I had one of those as fast as you can shots on a spooked animal. This scenario is usually a closer shot. Maybe we can do one where you have a shot timer that forces a quick shot. Every second over the set time is -1 point.
 
My dad had two tougher shots this year.

1. Seated 325 yards using tripod leg and pack for support. Open meadow but grass kept you from seeing prone. Elk were not aware so no rush other than it was the last 5 minutes of shooting light.

2. Walked over a ridge and at the same time an explosion of mule deer came out of the draw. Three coyotes had ran into them bedded. One was a huge buck, ran up the other side and stopped for about 5 seconds at 250 yards. All in all had maybe 30 seconds to throw pack down, get prone, set, find target and shoot when he paused. Didn't get a shot off.
