2026 Guardian Long Range - Utah

--GUARDIAN MATCH WEEKEND OVERVIEW
Match Director - Verl Dallin
North Springs Shooting Range- Price, UT
It’s more than a match. It’s a mission.
Match proceeds are used to make a donation to a local charity that supports children in need.
Guardian matches consist of 8-10 precision rifle stages on Saturday as an individual event and 5-6 stages on Sunday as a team event. Sunday teams are determined by the Saturday results. The field is “folded” and the first place shooter from Saturday is paired with the lowest scoring shooter from Saturday. The shooters that performed well on Saturday (typically more experienced shooters) have a great opportunity throughout Sunday to mentor and help those with less experience.
The emphasis is on having a relaxed match environment where shooters of all skill levels can enjoy supporting our mission. This is a good environment for newer shooters and an opportunity for experienced shooters to shoot a match that is less intense than other matches they may have on the calendar this year.
Dinner, individual match awards, and the donor raffle table draw is held Saturday evening. Our beneficiary will also speak about the work they do supporting children in need during dinner. Our prize table is raffle based.
A $10 Daily Fee to the range will need to be paid directly to the range upon arrival.
Specific details regarding on-site lodging, course of fire, training opportunities, and other venue nuances will be communicated to registered shooters via email leading up to the event. Please email info@guardianlongrange.com with any questions, anytime.

--DISTANCES, TARGETS, AND STAGE DESIGN
Shooters will have time before shooting a stage to review the targets, target range, and stage course of fire. Most stages will require a round count of 8-12 shots.
Competitors can expect to engage targets at known distances from 100 to 1200 yards. Target size will vary in difficulty based on the shooter's position(s), distance(s), and time allotted. Expect an average size of 2-3 MOA targets. In typical stages, shooters will have 90-120 seconds to execute the stage. Some venues may have moving targets incorporated into the stage as well. Stages may consist of multiple positions and/or targets. Coaching (and friendly heckling) on the clock is allowed and encouraged (as long as the shooter wants to hear it) and it doesn’t interfere with the ability of the RO(s) and Spotters(s) to manage the stage.
