Flagstaff Action Shooters and Northern Arizona Precision Rifle Present an Exciting Shooting Event
The National Rifle League, already a force in precision long range rifle shooting, has introduced "NRL22", a .22LR precision rifle competition league. The overall format is simple: every month a national course of fire is released, for .22LR rifles. Competitors can either shoot for local fame, or join NRL22 and have their scores compared to an entire nation's worth of rifle-people.
The courses of fire are simple, but not easy. Some key points:
- All stages are 100 yards or less
- Most stages are 10 rounds each
- The first course of fire seems quite bolt action friendly
- Most stages are steel, or a simple paper
- Some months we may add pistol side matches, in keeping with Ruger Rimfire courses
To shoot it, you will need:
- A .22LR rifle that is accurate out to 100 yards, and that can hold 5-10 rounds at a time
- 50 rounds of reliable ammunition
- Eye and Ear Protection
- A keen sense of safety and fun
- $20
