22-NRL & Tactical Bench Rest
NRL22 Matches are shooting competitions that will test your rifle marksmanship as you engage steel targets from 30 – 200 yards. Matches are divided into 5 - 10 stages where you will shoot from different positions that include barricades such as barrels, tank traps, rooftops, and many more. Target distances for the published NRL22 Course of Fire is available online and additional stages are sent out Friday before the match to registered shooters.
Matches are focused on skills development and casual competition in a relaxed atmosphere. Each month is a different course of fire. If you are not familiar with NRL22, it is a great way to experience precision rifle shooting.
Bolt action rifles are the most common firearm of choice, but Semi-automatic platform rifles are welcome. Bolt action rifles and semi-automatic rifles will be scored the same. Tube magazines are not allowed. Only 22LR and Air Rifles are allowed (no .22MAG).
Shooters should bring a scoped rifle, bipod, ammo, and have known DOPE out to 200 yards. Shooters can also use support bags and slings but are not required and your fellow shooters will have equipment that can be borrowed for your first matches. Chamber Flags / Ear / Eye protection ARE MANDATORY. Matches are typically around 100 - 125 rounds depending on the number of bonus stages.
You will be placed on a Squad with an assigned Squad Leader who will ensure each stage is briefed and there is order throughout the day – each squad ROs themselves so there are expectations to help with safety, score keeping, and spotting when you’re not shooting. It is acceptable to coach new shooters and young guns so don’t be intimidated if it’s your first match.
You don’t have to be a member of the NRL22 organization to shoot. We encourage shooters to become members so they can have the opportunity to see their national standing, take part in monthly prize drawing by the NRL22 organization and can qualify for NRL22 Nationals which take place each year in various US locations.
We shoot the 4th Saturday of every month.
