More Information:
The Hawks Ridge Cold Bore Challenge is a marksmanship competition that will be won by the shooter who is the best shot of the day. Our philosophy is that you cannot miss enough, and you cannot miss fast enough, to keep up with the guys and girls making the hits. We also strongly believe first hits matter and our scoring methodology reflects this core idea and it aligns with the challenges a shooter faces with long range, cold bore shots.

We’d have to use golf balls for targets There are some amazing shooters - the stage shot off of a swinging platform was one of the highest scoring stages last time...

Sounds like some stiff competition !!!
I'm too lazy to play that game. Plus it looks too risky. Looks like that one guy had a stack of pulp wood fall on him when he was shooting. (Joking)
