I did the one in Denver in 2013 and plan on competing again in Denver in 2014. It is a blast and you can meet a lot of great people!

No not really. More of a physical challenge/3D shoot all mixed in.

Kicking around the idea of doing the one in AR, I just don't know if I'll be able to get the days off. How fast do these things fill up?

Brock has set a pretty high goal for where he wants to finish.

Having never shot in a 3D comp before, I'm setting the same goal but I don't know exactly what to expect so we'll see.

This will be a great motivator to get in really good shape for next years hunting so it should be good no matter what.

I did the one in Spokane last year and it's definitely a great time. I'd like to run it again this year but there's not a Spokane event so I'm going to have to try to make either oregon or idaho.

What are the physical penalties when you miss the target? I'm interested but site was pretty vague on what it consisted of. Ie. Whats the meat haul challenge would I need a pack that could handle 100lbs or just one for the twenty you have to carry all day.

realunlucky - Last year when you would run up to a target you had to complete the physical challenge and then shoot the target. If you hit the target you are off and running to the next target. If you completely miss the target you had to repeat the physical challenge before you could leave the station.

The meat haul is an added "feature" this year. I also have not heard anymore details on that addition.

The whole course was ran with a 20lb pack on, you supply the pack and they supply the weight. At one of the stations you had to complete 20 burpees with the pack on. So if you missed that target you had to do 20 more burpees with the pack on before you could leave.
