NRL22 April 2024 Match

A challenging windy day for shooting rifles and video! The wind was crazy at this match. It was measured blowing consistently over 20 MPH and gusting inconsistently up to 30-35 MPH. The wind was also changing direction at the beginning of the day making it even more difficult to find the correct wind call. People were actually happy with the weather because we didn't have snow like last month! I did my best to cut the wind sound in the video. I've learned more about which audio frequencies the wind makes the most noise at then I ever thought I would know. I tried to eliminate the wind noise but unfortunately the audio was pretty much ruined and the best I could do was limit the damage. Even with this crazy wind ECCL had a record 29 people show up. Shooters traveled all the way from Michigan and Illinois to shoot the match. The course of fire was fun and is the final match of the season before the new NRL22 season starts again next month. For the eagle-eyed observers I am running new shooting bags from a new company that are pretty awesome. I'll let people know more about them in the future. Hope you enjoy the video (sorry about the audio) and hope to see everyone again next month!

Another great match. Fun to watch. Looks like a great bunch of shooters

[@22LRPhantom]

Definitely a fun match and the weather was better than snow too! Definitely great shooters, everyone is hitting the targets so much there is talk about needing to replace the targets! Lots of fun and friendly people, just a great time.

[@22LRPhantom]

Thanks Austin! It’s always fun shooting together and having fun with the ECCL crew. I hope everyone can see how much fun these events are and decide to give it a try. Congratulations on finishing so high on the overall NRL22 leaderboards! I can’t believe you and John finished so close on the final rankings.

Location please

[@22LRPhantom]

The NRL22 match in this video is in Milan, Ohio. The matches are typically held the second Sunday of each month if that is close to you, though because of Mother’s Day the one in May will be held on the third Sunday. If you are in the United States but not close to Ohio there are usually matches somewhere relatively close to your location and everyone shoots the same course of fire. NRL22 is also shot outside of the US in places like Canada, Australia, and elsewhere. Check out www.practiscore.com to search for matches near your location. If you need anything else just let me know.

do you think you could name some of the rifles and scopes used im just starting out getting really interested in this sport. . wondering what most everyone is using. thank you

[@22LRPhantom]

No problem! There are a lot of different rifle models people use to fit a variety of budgets and interest levels. At the more accessible end you have the Ruger 10/22 and Ruger Precision Rimfire rifles. Moving up from there you see people use CZ 457s, the Tikka T1X, and Begara B14Rs. On the high end you have custom models like RimX and Vudoo rifles. I’m sure there are a bunch of great rifles I’m not listing but those seem to be the most popular. I began shooting with a Ruger Precision Rimfire rifle and love it, but it doesn’t have the fine tuned accuracy of my Vudoo rifle you see in my videos. I’d say having any 22lr chambered rifle that you can load up 10 rounds in a removable magazine, a decent first focal plane scope, and reliable ammunition that you know the elevation out to 100 yards and closer and you will be competitive any given month.
