Range VLOG #358 - NRL Hunter 2026 Mason Valley Steel Hunter At Mason Valley Ranch in Julian, CA

Date: 27 February to 01 March 2026 Range: Mason Valley Ranch (Julian, CA) Warning: This is a long range vlog as it covers all 18 stages of the match with recaps recorded while I walked away from each stage. Hopefully the chapters help you skip through the vlog. This is the 5th year of the Mason Valley Steel Hunter match of the NRL Hunter series. Unlike previous years of cold, windy, and wet weather, this year's weather was in the low 80Fs with some wind. Without any shade, it got pretty warm in the SoCal sun and water was a must. I decided to put all 18 stages in this vlog, which makes for a very long video. I have utilized the YouTube chapter system so you can breeze through each segment. Spoiler: I continued my streak of not shooting very well and I am disappointed in my inability to improve upon my average. I am seeing flaws in my current processes and abilities for NRL Hunter and need to take more deliberate efforts to focus to close these gaps. I am also considering not recording footage because it is one more distraction that is inserted into my process of shooting a stage (and the match) that takes away from the actual shooting. 00:00:00 Check-In Day Montage 00:02:03 Introduction 00:04:43 Julian Lodge 00:06:22 Morning of Day 1 00:07:15 Match Welcome Brief 00:08:12 NRL Hunter Stage Briefing 00:09:17 March to the Course 00:09:40 Stage 13 - 2 points 00:13:49 Stage 13 Recap 00:14:17 Stage 14 - 4 points 00:18:41 Stage 14 Recap 00:19:38 Stage 15 - 6 points 00:24:02 Stage 15 Recap 00:25:35 Stage 16 - 7 points 00:29:43 Stage 16 Recap 00:30:22 Stage 17 - 4 points 00:34:34 Stage 17 Recap 00:36:04 Stage 18 - 6 points 00:40:15 Stage 18 Recap 00:41:12 Stage 01 - 8 points 00:45:30 Stage 01 Recap 00:47:08 Stage 02 - 0 points 00:51:42 Stage 02 Recap 00:53:00 Stage 03 - 3 points 00:57:07 Stage 03 Recap and Lunch 00:58:20 Stage 04 - 4 points 01:02:56 Stage 04 Recap 01:05:25 Stage 05 - 2 points 01:09:36 Stage 05 Recap 01:10:33 Stage 06 - 0 points 01:14:56 Stage 06 Recap 01:16:15 Day 1 Recap 01:17:10 Morning of Day 2 01:17:52 Day 2 Opening and Health Status 01:19:47 Garmin Foretrex 901 Issues 01:21:56 Stage 07 - 5 points 01:26:33 Stage 07 Recap 01:27:32 Stage 08 - 2 points 01:31:39 Stage 08 Recap 01:32:57 Reverting to Hard Card 01:33:11 Stage 09 - 3 points 01:37:26 Stage 09 Recap 01:38:17 Stage 10 - 1 point 01:42:21 Stage 11 - 7 points 01:46:35 Stage 11 Recap 01:47:14 Stage 12 - 5 points 01:49:50 Stage 12 Recap 01:51:02 Match Recap 01:54:55 Positive Match Feedback Track: Kronus - Damaged Music provided by NoCopyrightSounds.
