Get ready for a serious skill test at the 2025 Thunderbeast Arms Co King of Coal Canyon, hosted at the legendary NRA Whittington Center. This field-style PRS match is built on natural terrain—except rolling hills, wind-read challenges, and minimal props. With 20 well-thought-out stages designed by proven match directors Derek Love and Michael Beemer, there are no luck-based gimmicks here—just pure, consistent shooting. Targets range from 300 to 1,100 yards (most inside 800), with a 200-round count. Lodging is available onsite or just minutes away in Raton.

Located in Raton, New Mexico, the NRA Whittington Center is a premier destination for long-range shooters. It offers ELR training and targets from 100 yards to 2.1 miles.
