Welcome to the another BCPRL Hunter Event y'all! Shooters, please take a moment to read through this as there is some very good info on what to expect!

Location: Nicola Valley Fish and Game Club
Directions: Drive West of Merritt on highway 8 towards Spences Bridge. Travel 8 km to Lower Nicola. Turn right onto Aberdeen road. Travel for 7.2km and the range will be on your right-hand side. Look for signage when you get close!

This is a one day, precision rifle match hosted by the BC Precision Rifle League and will challenge shooters and hunters of all skill levels. This match will be challenging yet fun and fair, and will be both physically and mentally demanding. Premium Prairie Precision Steel will be the target of choice. Most stages will have some sort of stress involved. Either timed or varying target sizes. There will be many different barricades and natural terrain to navigate through while shooting the match as well. Come prepared! It is not supposed to be super easy. Again, Come Prepared and be ready to have a great time!!

We strive to have minimal down time.

Shooters can expect ranges of 200 yard to 700 yards. Many targets will be in the 200-500 range.

ACCOMMODATIONS

You can bring a tent if you would like. There is a large camping area for tents and trailers across the road from the range. We do not have hook ups, so it will be dry RV-ing only. Camping will be open Friday night to come out and get situated if you would like. It is a great time around the campfire with a few adult beverages after the shooting is done.

You will see signs where the camping will take place. Follow the signs.
