Spearpoint Light gun tournament, May 16, 2026 and Light Gun match May 17, 2026.
Here is your chance to put up! If you think the 2025 US ELR rankings are incorrect, now is your chance to prove it in a head to head, double elimination tournament. You have to lose twice to be eliminated so even if you go up against the best shooter first and lose, you still have a chance to work your way back to the top if you really are that good.
This is the most accurate way to really see who the top shooters are, by having them shoot against each other at the same time and in the same conditions.
The May ELR matches at Spearpoint will be a Light Gun only event. Saturday we will be running the double elimination, seeded, head to head tournament and Sunday will be a regular match for points for ranking.
The Saturday tournament is unique as it tests shooters against each other in brackets in the exact same match conditions. This eliminates situations such as shooter 1 getting to shoot in ideal conditions at 8 am in the morning being scored against shooter 30 who is shooting at 1 pm in the afternoon in high winds, heavy mirage, blowing dust and high heat.
With this type of competition, higher round counts come into play. Two rounds of 12 shots each will be the minimum for each shooter. The winner will be shooting 5 and possibly up to 7 brackets to get to first place. I’ve adapted the course of fire to deal with this and keep it to a 24 round minimum and 74 round maximum (most likely 54 round) tournament. In order to do this, the tournament will be limited to 27 shooters for this inaugural event. Cool trophies (Halfbreed Blades Rescue Axe, ESEE Knives) and coins, all engraved by Schur Firearm Sales LLC, will be awarded to 1st, 2nd, and 3rd places in the tournament. Seeding will be determined by the 2025 US ELR Light gun ranking. If a shooter does not have a ranking in this system, no problem, a seed will be assigned to them by the MD.
Sunday's match will be for points and medals like we usually do and more shooting slots will be available. One cold bore target and six regular targets. This will be a 31 round match for ranking points.
Total round count for the two matches will be 105 rounds maximum.
Sign up starts on April 30 at 7 pm CST at ELR Alliance.
Come on out for a really fun time and see where you really rank!
