The Big 50s is a long-range rifle match built around .50 BMG and heavy large-bore rifles at distances that separate the serious from the curious. Santa Maria Gun Club hosts this on May 17, 2026—if you've got the rifle and the patience, this is where you find out what extreme distance shooting actually feels like.
