Round count will be 150+ for the match, but bring more for zeroing, malfunctions, side stages etc.

This match will be self-squadded. An email will be sent out to notify registrants when squadding opens.

We are incredibly honored to be hosting this NRL22X match for the third year in a row. As shooters ourselves, we strive to host matches that are both fun and challenging. Stages will be designed to push the limits of shooters and rifles both, so be prepared for a challenging course of fire.

Lunch, snacks, and bottled water will be provided the day of the match. Please reach out via phone or email (listed below) if you have any dietary restrictions and we will do our best to accommodate them.

Mulligans will be available for $20 each, limit one mulligan per shooter. Side stages for high-value prizes will be available on Friday for $10/try. Each try will earn you anywhere from 1-10 tickets entered into a drawing for the prizes available. The money made from side stages and mulligans will go to supporting the match/ROs.

Target distances will be between 25-350 yards.

Prize table walking order will be a combination of place finished and random draws. Top 3 overall and class winners walk the table first, followed by alternation between a random draw RO, random draw shooter, and the next highest match placement. We would like our ROs to be adequately rewarded for their participation and we will have the top 3 ROs from the RO match walk the table with the other class winners. We cannot provide high quality matches without high quality ROs.

Range Officer (RO) opportunity

We feel strongly that a big key to a high-quality match is to have good ROs. Good ROs bring consistency to stages for a fair competition and help keep the match flowing smoothly. We are looking for willing ROs to participate. ROs will eat free, will receive a door prize bundle, will walk the prize table with the rest of the shooters, and will receive appreciation and respect from the match directors and the shooters. ROs will also be given the opportunity to shoot the course of fire on Friday. This will give them the opportunity to shoot the match, as well as allow them to become accustomed with the stages. If you are new to precision rifle competitions, ROing this match will be an excellent opportunity to get experience shooting with help from match directors, as well as experience spotting bullet impacts through spotting scopes. To RO, please reach out via phone or email (listed below).

Feel free to call or email us with any questions or concerns.
