  • Nothing Survives First Contact

    “Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the face”

    Well, we’ve been punched in the face. A more experienced operator is being brought on board, we still have full creative control, but they’ll handle all of the other things to make this a future success.

  • Site and Plan Updates

    Hopefully you’ve had a chance to look through the site a bit. Things are generally changing, and hopefully moving in the right direction as the date approaches.

    Due to the recommendations of some people more experienced in putting on matches, the planned three day extravaganza has been shortened to a single day. Three days was likely too much for us to bite off in our first go, even if trying to get everything to coincide with the cannon date of Fri, Oct 23. We’ll have to see things going forward as more strictly apocalypse oriented.

  • War Never Changes

    War. War never changes.

    But the Mojave? The Mojave is about to get a whole lot louder.

    Registration is now open on Practiscore , and you can pay for admission at MOA Targets

    Howdy, wasteland wanderers, powder gunners, and two-legged deathclaws. This is your friendly neighborhood announcer comin’ at ya from the irradiated ruins of civilization with some prime pre-war entertainment you ain’t gonna wanna miss.

    Announcing the inaugural MOJAVE PATROL — a no-holds-barred pistol and rifle shooting match straight outta the apocalypse. October 23rd through the 25th, 2026, the 7 Mile Hill Range near Kingman, Arizona will transform into the ultimate proving grounds for every gunslinger, scavenger, and survivalist with steady hands and a thirst for glory.

    Brought to you by the fine folks at MOA Targets LLC and ATF Convenience Store 07/02 FFL (both still proudly operational after all these years, despite our best efforts to fail), Mojave Patrol will test your speed, accuracy, and wasteland grit across multiple stages designed to feel like you just stepped out of a ruined vault and into a firefight.

    Expect:

    • Dynamic pistol and rifle stages
    • Lots of theme specific steel targets including reactive steel
    • Theme specific cardboard targets
    • Post-apocalyptic flair- radscorpion bites optional
    • That signature green-tinted heads-up display energy guiding your every move (bring your own green sunglasses to experince this)
    • Prizes, bragging rights, and the kind of stories you’ll tell around the campfire for years

    Whether you’re a seasoned courier with a lucky 44 big iron or a fresh-faced settler lookin’ to prove your worth, the Mojave Patrol is callin’ your name across the dunes.

    Mark your calendars. Oil your firearms. Stock up on stimpaks (or at least some good ol’ Arizona water).

    Registration details, stage descriptions, and full rules of engagement will be dropping here soon, along with more intel from the organizers. Until then, keep your powder dry, your iron clean, and your eyes on the horizon.

    The wastes are watching.

    See you in Kingman, soldiers.
