Welcome to the Creekside Shootout NRL22X Presented by Vortex Optics!

It’s that time of year again. Unfortunately, we couldn’t get our August date to line up, so we had to move it up this year. Good news is that it’s the weekend before nationals and will serve as a good tune-up while getting points toward the 2027 season.

Event location: Walter Cline Range 7436 South Co Road 575 East, Versailles, IN, 47042

This event will be 10 stages designed to be a balance of beginner friendly stages as well as challenging stages for more experienced shooters. Our goal is to make sure shooters of all skill levels are challenged while still having fun and growing the sport. The course of fire will be spread out over 1000 feet of covered firing line, so carts are welcome and encouraged to transport your gear.

Prize table: Vortex has signed on as our title sponsor, and we have a few more that have already committed to making donations. I will continue to solicit as much sponsorship as I can.

Trophies will be given out to the top 5 open shooters, top base, top lady, top young gun, top old gun, top semi-auto, top air rifle and top MIL/LEO.

We will have paper sight-in targets at 50 yards and limited steel out to 200yds. No match props or target steel may be used at any point during sight-in time.

The cost of this match will be $65. Young gun fee will be $55. Lunch will be provided as part of your entry fee, and all shooters will receive a match sun hoodie as long as you are registered and paid before May 20th. The entry fee for this match is non-refundable, but you may sell your entry to someone else if you wish. This exchange will be facilitated by you, and you must notify me of the change so we can get the registration correct for match day. As always, the food truck will be open from the time you arrive until the conclusion of the match.

Mulligans will be available the day of the match for $10. We will also be holding our 3 stage tune-up on Friday evening again for the FAF trophy. The cost of the tune-up will be $20 payable at the time of the match.

There are several hotels and Air BNB’s within a 30-40 min drive of the range. Walter Cline Range is a working Campground, so there are multiple spots available for campers with/without electric needs as well as primitive camping. Campsites will fill up quickly due to the Muzzleloading Nationals that will be held the following week. You can contact the NMLRA office at 812-432-2670 and ask for Brenda Hooten or nmlra@nmlra.org to reserve a campsite..
