Get ready to unleash your inner marksman in the ultimate test of skill, precision, and adventure—welcome to The Hunters Challenge! Picture this: you’re deep in the rugged, wind-swept hills of rural Nevada, where the wild terrain becomes your battlefield. This isn’t just any shooting comp—it’s a heart-pounding, adrenaline-fueled showdown that mimics the thrill of a real hunt, pushing you to your limits with your trusty hunting rifle in hand!
Strap on your hunting pack, grab your range finder, bipod, and all the gear you’d take into the backcountry—because here, it’s all about authenticity. You’ll tackle four epic stages, firing a total of 36 rounds against silhouette targets with steel plates at their vitals, at unpredictable, varied distances. The clock is ticking, the wind is whispering secrets (or howling challenges), and every shot counts as you dial in your dope and squeeze the trigger. Miss? That’s the hunt talking—adapt or get left in the dust!
But hold on, thrill-seekers—the real rush hits at one of those stages with the bonus target lurking beyond 1,000 yards! That’s right, a long-range beast that dares you to prove your mastery over gravity, wind, and sheer distance. Nail it, and you’re a legend; whiff it, and it’s fuel for the next round of glory.
Whether you’re a seasoned hunter chasing bragging rights or a sharp-shooter hungry for that next-level rush, The Hunters Challenge is where legends are forged under the Nevada sun. Gear up, lock and load—adventure awaits! Who’s ready to claim the crown?

This recent CCW class was a renewal for me but was the first time for my wife and she was a bit nervous going so I got the ok to come join in and stay with her from the beginning. Jim was great with giving and explaining all the necessary information but also had us laughing throughout the day which really helped with the eight hour session. My wife was comfortable and had a great time. When we were on the range qualifying, Jim gave us a few good tips which we both instantly saw improvement in our performance. Jim is very knowledgeable about what he does and of course you’ll get to know that he has all the experience to back it up. As a CCW renewal, I felt this time around wasn’t just a good refresher but the way it was delivered was outstanding. We will be referring Jim to everyone as well as going to be setting up future private lessons to further our own firearms training.
Lots of information to get through in this class and Jim made it fun. Great instructor and very patient.
I plan on taking a private lesson and would recommend him to all levels.
Thank you.
Straight forward with great information lots
Of Comedy…. Instructor has experience and knowledge . Came out of the class learning better shooting Techniques, day flew by.
Thanks lot Jim!!! …let me know when the new hats come in…
I’ve taken a prior CCW class and it was good but nothing could compare to Jim’s class. He made the 9hr class fly by. I enjoyed working with him so much that we recommended him to my wife’s friend for a group CCW class including my wife. I also plan to purchase a private lesson for my wife because I could never teach her as good as Jim. We are lucky to have such a fun and knowledgeable instructor in our area. Don’t waste your money with anyone else. You won’t be disappointed!
Jim and Brian were fantastic instructors. Great instruction on the principles and techniques of getting the gun in the fight. Jim had a great balance of teaching and just enough humor to keep the class laughing and learning. Brian was able to go over many medical situations and I feel more confident to provide medical aid if the situation ever arose. Walked away a better prepared shooter and defender of my family and fellow citizens. The knowledge gained far exceeds the money spent on the class! I would highly recommend this class to anyone that wants to be better prepared for the great responsibility of carrying a firearm.
