Date: 17-19 January 2025
Range: Gunsite Academy (Paulden, AZ)
I decided to head out to Arizona for the first NRL Hunter match on the 2025 calendar which is the NRL Hunter Pro Am at the Gunsite Academy in Paulden (Arizona).
This vlog footage covers three days from January 17 through January 19, where on Day 0 (01/17) competitors checked-in.
Day 1 (01/18) consisted of 10 stages and Day 2 (01/19) consisted of 6 stages for a total of 16 stages.
Spoiler: I did not shoot well and my score was near the low middle of the pack. Also, the colder weather (high teens to mid-40s) impacted my batteries in my cameras so I did not get all the footage I intended to. I only included a small subset of the 15 stages shot (1 stage was dropped from the match because the mover failed).
This entire vlog was shot using a GoPro 12 Hero Black with the Triggercam 2.1+ for scope POV. Given that I shot it all myself as a one-man show, there will be some less than stellar framing and cuts between segments.
I will be posting an after-action report to talk about things I learned after shooting in colder weather than I ever shoot in normally.
