WHAT IS A SURVEYOR MATCH?

Are you ready to find out what you’re actually capable of when the pressure’s on and the environment isn’t handing out free wins? Are you ready to run a rifle and a pistol through stages built to expose strengths, punish weaknesses, and reward real skill—alongside a community that sharpens each other?

That’s exactly what The Surveyor delivers—a realism-driven tactical 2-gun match hosted by Founder Arms and designed for shooters who want more than a flat range and a static drill. It’s a proving ground, but it’s also a place where competitors push one another, cheer each other on, and walk away with new connections forged under stress and shared challenge.

​

This match traces its roots back to George Washington himself—a man who cut his teeth as a land surveyor long before he became a general and the first president of a new nation. Surveying in his era meant charting rugged, unbroken land while navigating unknowns, threats, and the demands of a frontier that didn’t care about your comfort level. Washington’s grit, discipline, and willingness to push into the hard places are the same qualities this match is built to test.

​

The Surveyor blends high-fidelity scenarios with subtle historical nods and pop-culture cues, creating an environment that challenges shooters while pulling them into a shared and immersive experience. It’s competitive, but it’s also communal—where skill-building meets fellowship and where the people beside you are as memorable as the stages themselves.

​

Expect stages that force you to think and move. You’ll range targets under time pressure. You’ll shoot from non-standard positions. You’ll work through distances, angles, obstacles, and stage designs that force you to adapt on the fly. Nothing is arbitrary—everything is built to simulate the types of challenges that separate the prepared from the pretenders.

​

If you want to sharpen your edge, measure yourself honestly, embrace the physical challenge, and be part of a community that thrives on pushing one another forward, The Surveyor is exactly where you belong.

​

Step onto the line. Move with purpose. Shoot with discipline. Build real connections. Earn every result.
