Everyone,
For those interested in NRL22 competition, Anne Arundel Fish and Game has started a new series. These will be held on Sunday mornings (usually the 2nd Sunday of each month). We’ve held three NRL22 matches at the Club and experienced what a fun and challenging event they are. The targets can be truly tiny, ¼ inch at up to 50 yds, and even the biggest target is only 6” in diameter at 100 yds. Ohhhh…and did I mention that you’re shooting from improvised positions on the clock? It’s amazing how fast 120 seconds goes by when you’re getting into position, cycling the action, and moving between positions, then re-establishing the sight picture for the next shot. Most stages are 10 shots in 2 minutes, starting from a standing position with the action open. In one stage this month, a stepladder was the prop, and the course of fire required the shooter to take the first shot with the rifle resting on the lowest rung of the ladder, move to a higher rung for each successive shot, then moving back down the rungs until 10 shots were taken.
To keep competition fresh, each month the national NRL organization publishes a new Course of Fire developed by one of the competing clubs. The benefit of using a nationally distributed Course of Fire is that individuals can compete nationally, similar to a postal match.
Here's our schedule of upcoming matches:
• August 8th
• September 19th
• October 3rd
• November 7th
• December 12th
We're using PractiScore for both registration and also scoring. You can sign up for the events through the PractiScore website.
If you have any questions, feel free to send me a PM.
