OED 2026 RWR Rivers West Ranch – Texas – March – 2026
Located in Breckenridge, Texas, at the northern edge of the Hill Country, the Rivers West Ranch is opening up their 1600 acre ranch for us to host what we know will be an amazing event. We’re thrilled to bring a run n gun event to the DFW area!
This event will have a Series, Rivals, and Teams Competition.
Tactical Biathlon is a 2-gun biathlon. Competitors carry a rifle and pistol over a predetermined course of fire ranging in distance.
Each competitor is assigned a unique start time to enter the course. Re-supplying once on the course is not permitted.
Competitors will encounter several stages to shoot at throughout the course. These stages may be rifle only, pistol only, or a combination of the two.
Competitors have 3 minutes to complete a stage. If the competitor fails to complete a stage within the time allotted, they will receive a Did Not Finish (DNF).
Each stage has a unique layout including varying numbers of targets and distances to the targets. Competitors must be able to adapt to the stage, target size, and distance on their own in order to complete the stages. Generally, pistol targets will range from 15-50 yards; while rifle targets will range from 75-700 yards.
We do our best to set up the Series, Teams and Rivals courses separately, to make them unique , but we may reuse and/or modify stages between the two days.
Competitors will be put in unique situations and positions that will require engaging targets they might not be accustomed to. Additionally, some stages might require movement, or transitions from one position/weapon to another. Safety is paramount. Competitors and ROs will ensure that shooters are moving with the safety on, finger off the trigger, and muzzle down range. Failure to do so will result in disqualification.
While running on the course, rifles will not be loaded or have a mag inserted. Pistols are allowed to be in condition 1 (or loaded) while holstered. Competitors will be checked at the start/finish along with the entry/exit of every stage. Failure to follow this (or competition specific rules/regulations) will result in immediate disqualification.
Our competitions will weight your scores 50% for shooting and 50% for run time, unless otherwise specified on the event page.
The ‘Series’ event will be held on Saturday starting at 7:00am and the ‘Rivals and Teams’ event will be held on Sunday starting at 7:00am.
