Join us in congratulating Adam Roberts for his Grand Slam winning performance!
@adamroberts_prs
Adam is now our 2025 NRL Hunter UK centrefire champion, adding to his 2025 rimfire championship win!
Against a strong field and in challenging conditions, Adam nosed ahead of the competition to secure his place at the top of the leaderboard. Using very typical hunting gear, Adam was able to successfully use his kit to find, range and engage his quarry, dropping very few points on his way to becoming 2025 UK Champion.
At the prize giving Adam took away our top series prize of a Savage Arms rifle.
Thank you Adam for being such a great competitor and person. We’ve all enjoyed your good company at the range and look forward to watching you defend your titles during the 2026 series.
Thanks also to our Headline Partner Savage Arms and Viking for supporting NRL Hunter UK during our first year.
@savagearms @savagearms_uk @vikingarmsltd
Thank you Marc, Helen and all the Range Officers at Gardners Guns. Without your professional staff with their love for the sport and your amazing range facilities we could never hold such a special match as we were able to hold this weekend.

2026 Rules Update
In our first year of hosting NRL Hunter in the UK we took a conscious decision to mirror very closely the competition rules in the USA, which is the home of Hunter and now in its 6th season.
Following a very successful first season for NRL Hunter in the UK we took some time to reflect on the rules, listened to our members, and consulted with our technical advisors and range operators. We also reviewed upcoming regulation changes, specifically in regards to the lead ammunition ban.
The feedback we received told us that the 2025 rules were well received and so we have taken the decision to keep the 2026 rules mostly unchanged. What did keep coming up in conversation, however, was how the rules would adapt to the lead ban, especially considering the lighter bullet weights of monolithic ammunition and how this would impact a Hunter’s ability to meet Power Factor. We also kept coming across a very good question: why does Power Factor not align more closely with the various requirements across the UK for deer-legal rifles?
To address the upcoming transition to lead free hunting we knew Power Factor would need to be reduced. The question then became: what will the new minimum be?
The obvious answer was to align our rules to the clearly defined requirements for deer stalking, which would open the competition to many more deer stalkers and, we are pleased to acknowledge, hunters of other species in the UK and abroad.
We see this change to the 2026 rules as another step towards creating a series that encourages the participation of all hunters, providing them with a unique competitive experience that also trains and develops their hunting and marksmanship skills.
Please visit the website to read the 2026 rules in full.

There is still time to register for the upcoming matches:
The Clear Fell Classic- Scotland 7 March (CF)
The Small Game Special - England 21/22 March (RF)
We look forward to seeing you at a match soon.

A fabulous comp at Eskdalemuir on Saturday
Weather, challenging and changeable, very cold (thermal base layer, t shirt, Swazi hoodie, fleece, waterproof x2) and testing of kit and competitor
It really shows up any flaws in your method of work and practical kit managment
Get involved - if you’re sat on the fence - just do it, you won’t regret taking part
Outside of regular practice on paper or engaging in training from a provider with provenance this is the best way to hone and enhance your skill set in practical conditions
You won’t regret having a go

100% echo this. It was a cracking day out. All of the above is spot on and I'd add that it's a lot of fun.A fabulous comp at Eskdalemuir on Saturday

While it's a competition in concept, it's really a really collegiate and supportive atmosphere. Great group of shooters from all over the country with a shared passion for what we all do!

A perfect spring day gave us the perfect opportunity to celebrate the performance of our Hunters and everyone who helped put on the day at the first .22 match of the 2026 series.Match Director Rob Lonsdale had put together 12 stages with each providing a unique challenge to the Hunter’s ability to FInd - Range - Engage.
With an experienced team of ROs and support staff from Jackal Rife Club and HDSC, the day ran smoothly and left plenty of time for socialising around the prize table.
