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.”
  

Required Equipment

• Centerfire rifle and pistol
  
• Eye and ear protection
  
• Secure holster that covers the trigger guard
  
• Sufficient ammunition
  
• Stopwatch or timer
  
• Water and headlamp (recommended)
  
• Any preferred method for carrying gear (vest, belt, backpack, etc.)
  

Note: Magnum calibers are not allowed. Rifle and pistol must each fire appropriate calibers (no PCC).
