See the 2021 match schedule here: https://www.avenaltactical.com/ including the next UKD Team Match, 2 PRS Pro Bolt series, PRS SW Regional Qualifier, and monthly Hunter and PRS regional series, matches.
Because our match was
sold out 10 months in advance, we feel we should offer a spin up series of topics on how to prepare best for our UKD Field Match, what to expect, tips, and tricks, and stage samples.
Many of the techniques we will discuss will also have an application for hunting. The intent is to help shooters better prepare and develop field skills. The topics for tips cover field tripod use, testing your PLRFs beam, team dope cards & arm boards, to what to carry with stage samples and stage debriefings.
We have several industry leaders that have donated to support the shooters. Companies like these, giving back to shooters, is nothing short of amazing.
Please remember to look at our sponsors first when considering a new toy.
We'd love to have shooters of all levels post a tip if they have one. Please post your questions and suggestions, your input is welcome, even if you're not shooting this match.
If your team is shooting this, read the tips; some of the stages will use strategies from multiple tips segments - Everything you need to sail through the stages will be shared here.
Make sure to create an account so that you can see the details shared in the pictures.

`
UKD Team Challenge was a huge hit and sold out almost 4 months in advance last year! (
Registration opens Feb 1. SOLD OUT 10 months in advance.)
The date is set for another 2 person Team Match in 2020. Last year it sold out fast! The idea is for this to be good practice for a larger match or the ideal first field style match for the shooter. We plan to keep the match small. Teams had a blast last year, so get registered.
The date is Sunday, Nov 22, 2020 @ 7:00 AM ~ If you are interested, even without a partner, please sign up below --
Here is our link to the PractiScore signup: https://practiscore.com/team-challen...clone/register
Here is the basic plan subject to change
Saturday Optional:
- BBQ hamburgers and hot dogs Saturday Night (Weather depending)
- Free Camping
- NRL 22 match on Saturday evening (sign up via PractiScore run as a separate event)
- Sight-in
Sunday:
- UKD - Unknown Distance Range it, find it and shoot it. (Range finders are fine, and most stages will have a known size if you'd rather use a reticle)
- One reticle only stage
- Time will be shared between team members but should be very generous if the team is organized, shooters will work together
- Round count somewhere around 160+ per team
- Managing Ammo might play into team strategy this year (hint)
- Mostly natural terrain like you might find hunting in the foothills, side-slopes, down-slopes, dead space problems-- tripods are recommenced our very tall shooting sticks
- Tripods, shooting sticks, Packs whatever you want to ruck up the hills will be fine
- The course requires between 2-3 miles of hiking depending on the starting position
- You can share gear, but sharing tripods will cause you to be less effective with your time management.
Parctiscore sign up is free, but you do need an set up a quick account. You can sign up for any match, but this particular match is Team Challenge Unknown Distance Long Range Match.
