Tiny Ten H.A.R.T Challenge

The Tiny Ten H.A.R.T Challenge is a quest for detail, discipline, and deliberate action. It focuses on Africa’s smallest antelope species; elusive creatures that slip through shadows and demand an entirely different kind of fieldcraft than their larger cousins.

This isn’t about size. It’s about skill. These animals move quickly, hide effectively, and often appear only for seconds at a time. To complete the challenge, you’ll need to verify a H.A.R.T shot on all ten species in their natural, native African environments.

For H.A.R.Ters who value stealth, observation, and connection to habitat, this challenge is a rare gem.
