Event Overview

The Silent Night Run and Gun is a night-time tactical biathlon at 17 South Rod and Gun Club. Competitors will engage 4–5 stages using white light and night vision gear (NVGs) while navigating a challenging course under low-light conditions.

‍

This event follows the same principles as the traditional Run and Gun—testing participants’ physical fitness, shooting skill, and gear management—but with an added twist: the darkness.

Course of Fire

• Stages: 4–5 total stages
• Lighting: White light and NVGs permitted
• Targets: Steel targets (no tracers, armor-piercing, or steel-core rounds like M855)
• Expected Range: Rifles 100–350 yards, pistols up to 50 yards
• Round Count: Approx. 55 rifle / 75 pistol
• Rules: Rifles and pistols will be carried unloaded on a cold range until instructed by an RSO to “load and make ready.”

• Centerfire rifle and pistol
• Eye and ear protection
• Secure holster that covers the trigger guard
