The Dark is Afraid of Chuck Norris - Del Norte Gun Club 9-25-26

Del Norte Gun Club is excited to introduce “The Dark is Afraid of Chuck Norris,” a brand-new night match being added to the Black Rifle Charity Match weekend. The match will be Friday September 25th.
This rifle-only night match was created to provide another opportunity for our shooting community to come together in support of the Second Amendment and the organizations working to protect it here in New Mexico. Proceeds from the match benefiting the New Mexico Shooting Sports Association (NMSSA) and the New Mexico Firearms Industry Association (NMFIA).
Last year, the Black Rifle Charity Match raised nearly $20,000 to support the fight for our Second Amendment rights in New Mexico. Following a legislative session that saw significant efforts to restrict those rights, and with the expectation that those efforts will continue, we felt it was important to expand the Black Rifle Charity Match weekend and provide another opportunity for the shooting community to get involved.
This inaugural night match will consist of four rifle-only stages, adapted from the main Black Rifle Charity Match with modifications designed specifically for low-light and NVG conditions.
Due to the nature of this event, competitors must have safely completed several action shooting matches prior to participating. Shooters may be asked to provide additional information regarding their match experience before registration is approved. Because of significant interest and the limited number of available slots, competitor selection for this inaugural event will be conducted by lottery.

All competitors should plan to be ready by 7:00 PM.
We will conduct a brief safety meeting followed by stage walkthroughs while there is still enough light to see. Once it gets dark enough, the match will begin.

Match Flow
Because we will be operating on a limited timeline, efficient match flow will be critical. Competitors are expected to reset targets between shooters unless they are the next shooter on deck.
Please arrive prepared, with magazines loaded and equipment organized, to help keep the match running smoothly.
Whether you compete, volunteer, sponsor a stage, or donate a prize, every contribution helps support the organizations defending our rights here in New Mexico.
