The third annual King of the Hill registration is live!

The match is set for Sunday August 27th, 2023 and as before the practice day will be Saturday, August 26th.

There has been one event swapped out in the format this year. The 300 yard group shoot has been replaced by a timed event on the gong sets on the Silhouette side.

Now is the chance for all shooters with magazine fed rifles to really shine. 6 impacts for time will decide the winner of that event!

Deadline to register AND receive the KOTH merchandise is July 15th, 2023.

Please feel free to forward to any interested parties.

All details are in the attached documents.

See you in August!

The dates for the 2023 King of the Hill competition at Rosebud have been set for the final weekend in August.

Competition day is Sunday, August 27th.
As before, Saturday will be a practice day for all competitors to get their zeros for the multiple yardages on competition day.

This is a single rifle event for the entire competition.

Competition day is a cold bore event. Competitors need to be zeroed prior to the event.

Important changes in the course of fire;
The 300 yard group event has been eliminated.
In its place there will be timed/multiple yardage event on the silhouette range.

Preliminary course of fire looks as follows:
Event 1 - 300 yard score shoot
Event 2 - timed event with multiple yardages on silhouette range
Event 3 - 500 metre gong event

As well, thanks to a generous offer by one of the prize table sponsors, prize money will be greater this year.

Stay tuned to this space for signup instructions and finalized course of fire and rules.

Good luck to all competitors!

And of course many thanks to the 27 competitors that stepped in on an unknown competition! There was some great shooting on a course of fire that many had never even seen or even attempted before. Well done!

Just a reminder Saturday is a practice day open to all competitors from 7:30 AM until 5 PM.

Going to be a great shoot! Prize money is now $1900 distributed down through 5th place.

Looking forward to seeing everyone at the practice day and competition!

For the 300 yard score shoot, we will be using the regulation 200 yard score target, BUT set at 300 yards.
You will note 6 bulls on the target. 5 bulls are for record, 1 bull in the bottom right is reserved for "sighters" and marked with "S".

A single shot must be placed in each of the 5 "record" bulls. The bulls are 6" across.

The center ring is the "10 Ring". Touching or breaking the 10 ring will count as 10 points. Touching the center dot will count as 11 points.
The sighter target illustrates the points available as you progress away from the center. Final outside ring is worth 5 points.

More than one shot on a record bull will be scored with the worst shot.

Shots landing outside the rings and still in the "record" area will be scored zero. The shot must be touching a ring to earn points.

Competitor score is the total points from the 5 record shots.

There are no limits on sighter shots.

A few spots remain to register for 2021 King of the Hill!

Join in the fun and assert your dominance over a packed field of competitive rifle shooters.

And a reminder to register before the end of June 30th to receive the shirt!
