Spring 2027 (March) · Date announcing soon
The flagship. A full day at Staccato Ranch.
Our flagship full-day event at Staccato Ranch: pistol work with Staccato instructors, sporting clays, factory tours, Texas BBQ, and a fireside dinner that runs late. Where CISOs, CTOs, and the people who back them actually talk.
The flagship experience
A full day at Staccato Ranch
Austin has become one of the fastest-growing cybersecurity communities in the country, and the Shootout is where its leaders actually meet. Staccato Ranch sits in the Hill Country just north of the city: an easy flight into Austin from either coast, a day's drive from Dallas, Houston, and San Antonio, and every year leaders fly in from around the world for this.
The proven flagship format: 25–50 shooters, world-class instruction, a behind-the-scenes factory tour, and an evening that runs late under the tent. Many of the same experiences run at both 2027 events: Vegas is the half-day strike, Texas is the full-day flagship. Spring 2027 date announcing soon.
