2026 High Desert 2 gun
Welcome to the 3rd Annual High Desert 2-Gun match. This match will be a blend between a major multi-day match and a monthly match, 6 stages all shot in a single day. Lunch will be provided along with T-shirts. To get a t-shirt you must register by the 20th of September. We took inspiration from the action steel matches regarding reset. This will keep the tempo high, and minimal reset equates to maximal fun. The match will have some physical aspects, but for those that want more physicality, bonuses will be awarded the harder you make it.
Things to know:
Rifles will need a sling and pistols will need a retention holster.
All weapons will be retained throughout the stage.
No PCCs.
Minimum 3 rifle mags and 3 pistol 15+ rd cap mags.
Match will have some physicality, plan on running while carrying weight (22 lbs min), crawling or moving at a low crouch, and bending down to pick up heavy objects.
There will be pistol shooting from retention, and several times you will drop the mag and take a single shot to clear the weapon.
Shooters must be ready to shoot by the time the RO is ready for the next shooter, failure to do so will result in a 60 sec penalty and the shooter being moved to the back of your squad.
