Monthly NRL22 Match in Bay Area

[parap1445]

[Note: Posting in this forum because a lot of PRS shooters crossover to NRL22....]

Greetings!

We host a monthly NRL22-sanctioned precision rimfire match at Sunnyvale Rod & Gun Club in Cupertino, right across from the Stevens Creek Reservoir. All shooters must undergo an orientation/safety qualification in order to participate. Please see details below and send a PM if you are interested so we can answer questions and get you qualified.

If you aren't familiar with NRL22, it's effectively PRS-style shooting using 22LR rifles and ammo. You will need a bolt or semiauto rifle with a detachable magazine and a variable power scope, ideally one with a First Focal Plane graduated reticle. See www.nrl22.org for rules and equipment details.

With the high cost of centerfire ammo and gas to get to long range matches, many shooters are turning to NRL22 as a fun and cost-effective way to hone their practical precision rifle skills.

Date/Time
Usually 2nd Monday evening of each month
5:00 - Check-in and sight-in
5:30 - Range setup and safety brief
6:00 - Match begins
8:55 - Match ends

Match Format
We have exclusive use of the rimfire side of the R&P range for our match.
We will run 6-7 stages, 5 are from the monthly NRL22 Course of Fire.

Stages will generally be 10-12 rounds in 120 seconds or less, 25-100yd distances. Plan to bring 80 rounds just to be safe. We do provide a little time to shoot some sighters.

SRGC has been a registered NRL22 club for 4 season. These are sanctioned matches with all scores uploaded to NRL22.

Who can Participate
While we encourage shooters to join NRL22, you don't need to be a member to participate. Also, you don't need to be a SRGC member either.

We support the basic NRL22 sanctioned classes: Open, Base, OG, Ladies, Young Guns. If you are 60+, or have physical limitations, you can participate in the OG class where we make accommodations.

As mentioned above, all shooters must complete a one-time orientation/safety qualification prior to shooting a match.

Match Fees
$20 includes range and match fees. SRGC members pay a discounted rate.

Reservations/Pre-qualification
Match reservations are required. As mentioned, we will need to schedule new shooters for their orientation session. Please PM me and we can get that taken care of.

Thanks for looking!

I didn't know any NRL22 matches were offered in the bay area. Is there a website or mailing list to keep up to date on future events?

[parap1445]

We are listed as a participating club on the NRL22 website, along with contact info. We shoot the NRL22 COF at a monthly match (usually) on the 2nd Monday of each month. Typically we shoot 6 or 7 stages total at distances from 25-100yd. We do upload scores, so registered NRL22 members will get their NRL22 points recorded.

Note that participants do not need to belong to NRL22, but we encourage it because it's a good organization and they have a great prize raffle every month.

We are in the process of updating the SRGC website to include our match info, probably will be up in 2-3 weeks.

NRL22 is great training for PRS, but at lower ammo cost, and much of the same challenges with multi-position shooting. And given the cost of gas these days, we are a very good option for those near the Bay Area.

Anyone interested in participating in our big July 4 match should PM me soon as the match is coming up in a couple of weeks.

Is this a sanctioned NRL22X match? I don't see it on the NRL22 website.

[parap1445]

No. this is not a NRL22X-sanctioned match, otherwise we'd be charging $80 like everyone else.

However, it is a NRL22-sanctioned July match, and our club is registered with NRL22, and have been so for 4 seasons now. 5 of the stages are the July COF and we will upload scores to NRL22 for those 5 stages. We also include 7 local stages, totaling 12. Local match placement is based on all 12 stages.

We also don't require NRL22 membership to participate in our July 4 match (or our monthly matches), though we encourage shooters to join.

If you have any questions, feel free to PM and we will fill in the blanks. There are others from Norcal who are planning on coming.
