NOTE: PNTC will now also offer Regional DMR (Designated Marksmanship Rifle) matches IMMDEIATELY following our Regional Long Range Challenge matches ON THE SAME day. If you are shooting both matches you can check in to HQ at 8AM on match day and complete registration for BOTH matches at that time. PNTC DMR matches are different than our traditional LRC Long Range Challenge Matches in that the targets are not as far away (200-800 est) and require the use of field shooting positions. The use of AR style rifles and and or a variety bolt rifles is common. Like LRC matches please no calibers over .30.  Also, DMR matches are "friendly" matches focused on accuracy and positional shooting skill, are not overly physical and do not require you to be a marathon runner to participate. DMR matches will have a seperate registration link posted on the PNTC website. You will need to sign up on-line for BOTH matches in order to reserve your match spot. 

All shooters must report first and complete registration at PNTC HQ 60-30 minutes prior to match start time! You will receive a match ID bracelet and a score sheet showing that you have completed registration properly. The safety briefing and squading starts at 15 prior to the match so please be on time.

Number of Shooters:

40 Shooters Total

Overview: 

For 2014 Peacemaker National Peacemaker has Tom Pohuski Jr & Jeremy Kisner Leading our rifle matches.

Long Range Challenge matches are created by Peacemaker and are designed to simulate an incredible but achievable course of fire shooting from 200 to 1200 yards in field conditions. This competition is more of a friendly match and is designed to allow serous long range shooters to experience the greatest challenge possible with portable rifle in a practical caliber.

The range owned and operated by Peacemaker, is called the “Frontier Range.” Frontier is a training and special competition area and is not open for recreational shooting. For anyone interested in seeing our first match last fall, our friend drew Blitz made a great you tube video that shows is match and range. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ga1JTqUH51E
