Heartland NRL22 Monthly May 3rd
Precision rifle shooting and the .22 long rifle cartridge aren’t found in the same sentence very often, but that is the core philosophy of the NRL22 format. By stretching the capabilities of the world’s most popular and cheapest rifle calibers, the goal is to create a challenging yet welcoming target shooting environment for a diverse range of shooters; young and old, rich and poor, novices and veterans.
The organization behind the NRL22 competition is a 501c3 non-profit division of the National Rifle League. With an annual membership fee of only $60/Adults and $25/Youth, the NRL22 format is an accessible and budget-minded target shooting platform.
To provide fair competitive opportunities for as many people as possible, NRL22 is organized into six shooter classes:
1. Base class is reserved for shooters with a rifle and scope totaling less than $1650 MSRP.
2. Open class has no rifle restrictions other than rifles must be chambered in 22lr or are air rifles.
3. Young Guns is for children ages 8-16 and compete in either base, open, or air rifle classes.
4. Ladies class is for female shooters and competes in either base, open, or air rifle classes.
5. Air rifle class is exclusively for air rifles and competes alongside 22lr rifles during matches.
6. Old Gun / Adaptive class is for any shooter over age 60 or any shooter with special needs.
Zero range will open at 1230pm before the match start. Please arrive accordingly to ensure everyone gets the opportunity to check zero.
Following the match we will have a fun head2head side event. Please bring a case of the soda of your choice if you would like to participate. (cheapest is best as we will be shooting them not drinking them)
