2025 Thunder Beast Arms Co. King of Coal Canyon Match Recap

This past weekend at the NRA Whittington Center in Raton, NM, the Thunder Beast King of Coal Canyon delivered a challenging, scenic, and unforgettable match in the PRS Pro Series lineup.

Competitors faced a challenging yet well-designed course of fire that combined natural terrain, man-made props, and prone stages — all while engaging targets across the New Mexico canyons, where shifting winds added an extra layer of difficulty.

Huge shoutout to our outstanding Match Directors Derek Love and Michael Beemer, thank you for the hours of work you poured into this quality match. To the dedicated ROs, and every volunteer who made this event run smooth, your work is what keeps this sport thriving.
