NRL22 August 2024 Match

[@22LRPhantom]

Hi everyone! I designed the club stage this month, titled Hostage Crisis, and I think it turned out pretty cool and different. It is stage 6 on the video after all of the standard NRL22 stages. I hope everyone enjoys the video

[@poweredbybuschurs]

Awesome as always! Really regretted missing the match at Erie County this month and after seeing the hostage stage I really regret it! Thanks for running our Sand Castle bag!

[@22LRPhantom]

Thank you! The hostage stage was a lot of fun, sorry you missed out this month. I have another stage planned for the October match that I hope is just as fun. That Sand Castle bag is awesome, I felt super stable on all the props, thanks for making it!

[@SharpShootr92]

awesome video! I love the beginning montage but I'm a little biased 😅 anyways great shooting and I loved the bonus stage 👍

[@22LRPhantom]

My favorite part of the videos is the intro montage too. Glad you could make it this month, I know your schedule was crazy. I really liked how the bonus stage turned out, I couldn’t believe how much more nerve racking a shot is when you are trying to hit one target but not hit a nearby target downrange. I can’t wait to see what stage you make for everyone next month!

Great shooting! Those couple of misses were heartbreaking, but they didn’t matter in the end. Love the challenge stage design. Might steal the concept for one ours-I’ll attribute credit to you of course. I designed one of the challenges for this month. We’ll go out to 200yds again.

[@22LRPhantom]

Steal away, that stage was a lot of fun to shoot and everyone seemed to enjoy it even if a hostage or two was hit. I hope everyone at your club has as much fun as we did. Can’t wait to see your video and the challenge stage you made! Good luck!

3 prone positions on the pyramid was a bold choice.

[@22LRPhantom]

Haha, yeah I knew three prone positions would be tough but I was hoping I could make it work. If I could do it over I wouldn’t go prone on the middle target.

[@scottcottontx]

@@22LRPhantom I'm fairly slow, I'm not planning to go prone at all. I mean, 2.25 to 3 MOA targets doesn't really call for prone for me. I like your bonus stage. I just wrote the bonus stage for our match this Sunday, I'm going with a 100 yard snake charmer off of a wobbly tire stack. Luckily, I'm at the age where I don't really need friends anymore.

[@22LRPhantom]

@@scottcottontx 😂 Snake charmers are a lot of fun, but shooting one at distance off a wobbly prop is devious! Good luck!

[@chipherrick5121]

Good shooting Ben! Love the opening! My daughter squeals every time she sees me on the youtubes.

[@22LRPhantom]

Thanks Chip! It was great your daughter could come to this last match and the new yellow cerakote on your rifle looks awesome. Fun as always to shoot with you!

@@22LRPhantom Looks like I am going to miss the September match, the ECCL match is the same weekend as the Guardian Long Range match so see ya in October!!

[@22LRPhantom]

@@chipherrick5121 Good luck! See you in October!

[@idahoarmin]

Awesome shooting! Yea i was very surprised to see the tank trap misses. Otherwise very clean match!

[@22LRPhantom]

Thank you!

[@Phish45]

6th Stage-Hostages was definitely fun to set up. We had something like this in our minds for a couple years and just couldn't figure out if it would work well or not but our minds were eased after the setting up Ben ideas. 👍Big Shout Out for Ben for initiating it as it worked out rather well and it won't be the last time seeing this as I got another one in mind that should be even better. After the match I pulled the targets and noticed the 75yd and 100yd hostage target was pelted by too many shooters. LOL

[@22LRPhantom]

Thanks Mark. Yeah, some of those hostages took a beating this month but all part of the fun. I’m looking forward to seeing the variations you come up with for these poor hostages!

[@ThatTron]

Great shooting as always Ben!

[@22LRPhantom]

Thank you! The KYL off a tank trap was tough, I can’t believe I hit the same number of 1/4” targets as 1” targets. 😂

[@tacofodder]

This looks like some great competition! Might hang up my USPSA gear for a while!

[@22LRPhantom]

These matches are a ton of fun, hopefully you can find a way to do both NRL22 and USPSA!
