One of our most common questions is how long the courses take. Each course takes an estimated 2-3 hours to complete, depending on how busy the course is, your group size, and other factors. The Swamp Trail course takes an estimated 60 minutes.

If you're shooting in the competition, we recommend planning your time strategically.
