Welcome to the Aurora Sportsmen's Club NRL22 Match page
What is NRL22?
NRL22 Matches are shooting competitions that will test your rifle marksmanship as you manage various barricades and obstacles to engage targets from 30 – 200 yards. Matches are divided up into 5 - 7 stages where you will engage steel targets from different supported and unsupported positions as well as managing various barricades for support. Target sizes are designed to be challenging. Target distances for published NRL22 Course of Fire is known to shooters and additional stages are sent out Friday before the match to registered shooters. You should know your DOPE out to 200 Yards to be successful.
Matches are focused on skills development and casual competition in a relaxed atmosphere. Each month is a different course of fire. If you are not familiar with NRL22, it is a great (and cheap (ER) way to experience precision rifle shooting.
You will be placed on a Squad with an assigned Squad Leader who will ensure each stage is briefed and there is general order throughout the match – each squad ROs themselves so there are expectations to help with safety, score keeping, times and spotting for the shooter on the line when you’re not shooting.
