New Zealand
Mountain challenge
The 2nd Vortex Challenge was held on the 19th of March 2016 which was a day enjoyed by all.
We had a total of 20 teams entered with many of our sponsors attending the event. Many of them getting involved on the day by spotting at stations, completing the course for enjoyment or a few as serious competitors.
The weather came with rain, wind and sun to ensure the competitors skills were put to the test. There was some very talented shooters and many others who have simply vowed to be back next year to better their own scores.
We would like to thank our generous Event Sponsor Vortex and the support from the following sponsors: Eberlestock, Hardy Engineering, MOA Engineering, Cross Hairs Long Range School,
Hunting & Fishing Dunedin and Dog Box Productions.
Importantly a special thanks for all our Range Officers and event support team!
