Located at the edge of the Edwards Plateau, the competition will offer some amazing views as the course takes you over one of the highest points in Bandera County. Look for some unique and challenging shooting stages utilizing this terrain.
Tactical Biathlon is a 2-gun biathlon. Competitors carry a rifle and pistol over a predetermined course of fire ranging in distance.
Competitors will encounter several stages to shoot at throughout the course. These stages may be rifle only, pistol only, or a combination of the two.
This event will include a Series, Rivals, and Sniper competition.
Competitors have varied amounts of time to complete a stage. If the competitor fails to complete a stage within the time allotted, they will receive a Did Not Finish (DNF).
Each stage has a unique layout including varying numbers of targets and distances to the targets. Competitors must be able to adapt to the stage, target size, and distance on their own in order to complete the stages. Generally, pistol targets will range from 15-50 yards, while rifle targets will range from 75-700 yards.
The Sniper competition distances will be out to 1300 yards. Calibers restricted to .223-.308. Nothing over 3200FPS.
We will do our best to set up the Series and Sniper courses separately, to make them unique, but we may reuse and/or modify stages between the two days.
Competitors will be put in unique situations and positions that will require engaging targets they might not be accustomed to. Additionally, some stages might require movement, or transitions from one position/weapon to another. Safety is paramount. Competitors and ROs will ensure that shooters are moving with the safety on, finger off the trigger, and muzzle down range. Failure to do so will result in disqualification.
While running on the course, rifles will not be loaded or have a mag inserted. Pistols are allowed to be in condition 1 (or loaded) while holstered. Competitors will be checked at the start/finish along with the entry/exit of every stage. Failure to follow this (or competition specific rules/regulations) will result in immediate disqualification.
Our competitions will weight your scores 50% for shooting and 50% for run time, unless otherwise specified on the event page.
The 'Series' event will be held on Saturday and the 'Sniper Challenge' AND Rivals events will be held on Sunday.
Competitors and RO's are permitted to tent or bring an RV, but there will be no hookups provided on the property, during the competition weekend.
This year, run times will be created based on Ticket date and Time of purchase. The earlier you purchase, the earlier you run!
