Rules & scoring

A six-target rack shot against the clock. Clear the rack and you have 21 points — a BlackJack. Everything after that is what you can do with the time and ammunition you have left.

Format

  • Target distance: ~500 yards.
  • Total time to complete the stage: 2 minutes.
  • Six targets, shot largest to smallest. You must hit a target before moving to the next one.
  • Clearing all six targets scores 21 points (BlackJack).

2 10″ 2

6 2″ 6
Total 21

Rules

  1. Targets are engaged in order, largest to smallest. A hit is required before you move on.
  2. The targets may be shot back down in reverse order, for a total of 42 points.
  3. After clearing the rack you return to the smallest target and keep shooting for additional BlackJacks: +21 points for every further hit on the 2″.
  4. With ammunition and time left, you keep shooting until the 2 minutes are up.
  5. Ties are broken on time — the shooter with the shorter time wins.

Alongside: the Hunter Challenge

Everyone shooting the BlackJack Challenge is also given the opportunity to shoot the Hunter Challenge: one cold bore shot at a 5 inch vital zone, 500 meters out. You can use your BlackJack rifle for it or bring a separate hunting rifle.

Both challenges are filmed, and the footage is used on social media.
