Please be aware, this match is a NRL22X match and will be a NIGHT MATCH. The match will contain a portion of daytime stages and nighttime stages. To ensure fairness across the daytime/nighttime stages, all competitors will shoot the same day stages in the daylight and all competitors will shoot the same night stages in the dark.
Every shooter will receive a fun and challenging match with dedicated Range Officers on every stage, 2 glow bracelets at check-in, a commemorative night match ornament, night match commemorative gear or apparel, a match meal, snacks, hot cocoa, and a prize table walk.
Night vision is allowed but not required. Night Match Format Targets will be illuminated with white lights. Shooters are not allowed to use white lights at any time throughout the match in order to preserve everyone's night sight; however, shooters are allowed to use glow sticks or red or green LED lights. Since everything but the targets will be dark, an illuminated reticle is highly recommended. The props at the firing line will be minimally illuminated with either Christmas lights, glow sticks, or red lights. A headlamp may be helpful but remember it cannot be white light and it must be red or green illumination.
Zero Range
There will be paper at 50, 75, and 100 yards. Steel will be available at 100, 200, and 300 yards.
Range Officers
Dedicated RO’s are a key component of high quality matches. They increase fairness across all of the squads and remove the burden of a competitor having to be the squad RO. Competitors who participate in a match with dedicated RO's have an entirely different match experience. Competitors love that their only responsibility is shooting, socializing with their friends, and having a good time. This match will have dedicated RO’s running every stage to ensure that all competitors can concentrate on having fun and ensure all squads are run through each stage in the same manner as the other squads.
RO’s will have the opportunity to shoot this match as a NRL22X RO Match the day prior and will have the opportunity to earn points towards their NRL22X points race.
Trophies and Prize Table
There will be LOTS of trophies and recognition following the match. Prize table walk TBD.

Friday December 5th: ***RO Shoot***
Setup: 9:00am
RO’s Shoot for Separate NRL22X Score: 11:00am - 8pm
***Unlike a normal monthly match, this is a NRL22X match. There are increased expenses involved with accommodating registered shooters for a night match as well as an X match. Payments are not refundable nor transferable to other matches/events, but if there is a waitlist and you request to withdraw, I will gladly offer your spot to a competitor on the waitlist. If a waitlist competitor purchases your spot, a refund (minus cc fees) will be issued. If there is no waitlist, you are welcome to advertise or sell your spot. I will not be assisting with the selling or advertising of your purchased spot. If you sell it to another competitor, you MUST edit your registration information in PractiScore yourself and change it to the new competitor’s name and email and notify tennesseerimfire@gmail.com.
