From the match director
The Ultimate Hunter Rifle Competition (UHRC) is a dynamic, timed, hunting-based sport that focuses on using gear people frequently hunt with to hone skills crucial in real-life hunting situations. Speed and first-round accuracy both help your score, and this sport is truly a test of your ability to quickly build solid improvised shooting positions in natural terrain.
The 2027 UHRC Invitational is now open for registration!
