Welcome to the second annual Big Salty Sundowner NRL22X match hosted on September 27th, 2023.

This match will feature 10 fun and unique stages with distances from 20 to 110 yards with a round count of 150-180 not including zero. Some stages will have round counts up to 20 rounds so additional magazines are highly encouraged. Magazine changes will be required on several stages.

The Big Salty Sundowner will be broken into two mini-matches, the first 5 stages will be held in the warm afternoon hours with high round counts, lots of movement, challenging timed stages, and fun unique props. Plan on a wide variety of challenging targets including spinners, swinging hangers, and KYL racks.

We will then break for a fantastic evening dinner.

After dinner, the nighttime phase of the match will begin. Bring your lit reticles and keen eyesight as these 5 stages will run into the nighttime hours and include challenging props and hidden targets that will test even the best of shooters. Be prepared for lots of movement and challenging target acquisition!

Match Features:

• Water and snacks will be available throughout the match.
• Porta-potties are available on site.
• Custom match shirts are included for all competitors who register by August 15th.

• All stages are easily accessible with carts and are within 150 yards of each other.

Because of our limited space, tripods will not be allowed to be used on any stage. Tethered air rifle tanks will not be allowed. This match will adhere to a “1 bag rule”, meaning that only one support bag can be used during a stage. This includes a bag attached to the rifle. All NRL22 rules regarding safety will be strictly enforced, including chamber flags (Weed Wacker line will be available to anyone who needs some). Mulligans will not be available at this match. No white lights are allowed on the staging areas or shooting line during the nighttime portion of the match. Dim lit red or green lights only.

If you wish to help as an RO we would greatly appreciate it. RO’s will be able to shoot the COF the day before and will earn NRL22X match points. Prizes and trophies for RO’s will be determined later.

We will have trophies for 1st, 2nd and 3rd for each division. Prize table will be walked in the following order:

1st Open Division, 1st Young Gun, 1st OG Division, 1st Base Division, 1st Lady Division, 1st Air Rifle Division.
The order will be repeated for 2nd place finishes.

The remaining prizes will be issued using a random draw award system until all prizes are depleted.
