North Texas Rimfire League (NTxR)

This is a feeler and I'm throwing this out to see what kind of interest we get. This won't be just a THF thing, it will be advertised other places as well because we want a large turnout.

Myself and Vesperman Sr. are throwing around the idea of starting a 22LR league. We've both been holding matches and have decided we should just consolidate our efforts and make it into a points race league with bigger prizes and payouts.

We'd be shooting 6 matches a year with at least 3 required. The matches will span March through August. At the end of the season your top 3 scoring matches will be used for your points.

We're planning on getting some sponsors and going to try giving away a nice optic to the shooter of the year.

The entry fee for each match is still TBD, but we're thinking along the lines of $30 per match. With a 25% payout to 1st, 2nd, and 3rd of each match. The other 25% will be held in escrow for the end of the season to be paid out to the top 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place in the points race. Along with other prizes from our sponsors.

We already have a North West range and want to get a range in the North East area so it isn't in the same place every time and so that some of the North Eastern guys can participate without driving very far. I'm searching for a range at the moment, but so far haven't gotten very far. If we do not find a range towards the East all 6 matches will be held at the West range. Although not ideal, we can't make range owners let us use their ranges. Also at $30 per match it doesn't generate enough money to pay out the top three shooters and rent the range so we're also running into that logistical problem.

Like I said this is a feeler at the moment and trying to gauge interest in it.

Please let me know if you'd be interested in doing something like this.

I am very interested. Thanks for this effort Kyle!

I'm guessing these are the lay on your belly style matches rather than something more... dynamic?

Thanks Tim, will be nice to have you!


These are very dynamic matches. More like a PRS style match than a bench match. Ranges from 25-200 yards and we'll possibly even go further. Several position changes throughout the course of fire. The one I did on October 19th I think we only used the prone position on one or two stages.

I'm in of course, congrats to you and Vesperman Sr. putting this together. would WALTER at poetry gun club do this? maybe north Texas shooters> i guess they already do these matches though.

anyone with a .22 repeater should be in on these. i'm old and cant shoot for chit anymore but this is great trigger time and FUN shooting with a bunch of good guys and gals. not just punchin paper,

ya'll come to these, i'll be dead azz last, so come ob,

I was talking with a few guys about Poetry and they were under the impression you could not shoot steel at Poetry. If this is the case it is a no go for our match. Also it needs to be within 1 hour of Sherman, because I'll have to drive it the day before to setup the range for the next day. I do not want to be driving 6 hours in 2 days for the matches. Like I said previously if we can not find an East range we'll just do them all at the West range.

Color me in also.....

Mark me down

Keep me informed as things move forward I'm intrested.

Thanks guys please keep the interest coming. Any updates to this will be posted in this thread so stay posted.

I'm interested. What kind of setups are you thinking? Need to be a semi-auto for follow ups like JG's prairie dog or bolts will be ok?

Bolt guns are fine 10 round mag preferable, but not necessary.

Tomorrow I’ll try to find my previous course of fire and post it for reference of what a match might consist of.

Definitely interested but same question as tlew what kind of 22lrs would be used? I'd have to buy one cause all I have is a little rossi, but would definitely be worth it, never been to a match sounds like alot of fun

Never mind just saw your response lol

K, you know I am in.

Where is the west range located?

West range is in Valley View Texas.

Hey all, dont let the word "competition" scare you off from enjoying this REALLY fun, inexpensive, shooting league. Valley View may not be as close as your favorite golf course but we gotta keep the shooting sports alive, especially for our younger shooters.

.22lr is the most fun gun to shoot cuz you dont have to spend $5,000 on your rig and ammo is Cheap compared to your old .270/30,06.

Like said above any repeater bolt gun (Savage, Tikka, Remmy, Marlin, Winchester, TC), etc. OR the famous Ruger 10/22. Put a nice SWFA , or Meopta, which will focus down to 25 yards is perfect. If I remember there was a shooter with beater Savage or Marlin bolt gun with a great scope place VERY near the top a couple matches ago.

Matches are VERY well run with SAFTEY being the main goal.

I’m in... been wanting to do this for a while now.

Below is a sample course of fire, this is the course of fire that I ran at my October 19th match. This would obviously change match to match, but this is a nice sample of what a match could look like.




Stage 1 25, 50, 75, 100, 125
10 Rounds | 1 Point Per Hit | 1.5 Minutes
Shooter will start in port arms position. On the shoot command the shooter will engage the 25 yard target standing off-hand. Shooter will then engage to the 50 yard target in the kneeling position. Shooter will then engage the 75 yard target in the sitting position. Shooter will then move to the bench in the kneeling position engage the 100 yard target. Shooter will then engage the 125 yard target in the same position. BIPOD ONLY no bags or rest of any kind.

Stage 2 100 Yard TYL
10 Rounds | 1 Point Per Hit | 1 Minute
Shooter will start standing with gun on bench. On the shoot command the shooter will sit down and engage the largest plate at 100 yards. You must hit to move to next plate. If the shooter makes it to the smallest plate continue to shoot this plate for extra points until out of ammo.

Stage 3 150 Yard TYL Prone
10 Rounds | 1 Point Per Hit | 1 Minute
Shooter will start standing with gun on shooting mat. On the shoot command the shooter will lie down prone and engage the largest plate at 150 yards. You must hit to move to next plate. If the shooter makes it to the smallest plate continue to shoot this plate for extra points until out of ammo.

Stage 4 Barricade 25, 50, 75, 100, 125
10 Rounds | 1 Point Per Hit | 2 Minutes
Shooter will start in port arms position. On the shoot command the shooter will start on the top position on the barricade. The shooter can engage which ever distance they feel comfortable with, but they have to call out the distance before they fire to let the spotter know which target to glass. Failure to call out your distance before shooting will result in a no hit. 2 rounds per target and move in order of the steps on the barricade with the window being the last position. Can only use bag and bipod

Stage 5 Ladder 100 Yard TYL
10 Rounds | 1 Point Per Hit | 1.5 Minute
Shooter will start in port arms position. On the shoot command the shooter will use the rope attached to the ladder as a rest and engage the largest plate at 100 yards. You must hit to move to next plate. If the shooter makes it to the smallest plate continue to shoot this plate for extra points until out of ammo. No other supports or rest can be used besides the provided rope.

Stage 6 Roof Top 50, 75, 100
9 Rounds | 1 Point Per Hit | 2 Minutes
Shooter will start in port arms position on their strong side of the roof top. On the shoot command the shooter will engage the 50 continue to 75 yards and 100 yards. The shooter will then move to roof top and engage the 50, 75, and 100 yards plates. The shooter will then move to weak side and engage the 50, 75, and 100 yard plates. 1 shot per plate, if you miss move on. Bag and Bipod only.

Stage 7 200 Yard Prone or Bench No Dial
10 Rounds | 1 Point Per Hit | 1.5 Minutes
Shooter will start in standing position. On the shoot command the shooter will get behind their rifle and engage the 200 yard plate. Once the shooter hits the 200 yard plate they must move to the 100 yard plate and make a hit before moving back to 200. Continue to do this until out of ammo.

Stage 8 50 and 100 Yard Dot Drill
10 Rounds | 1 Point Per Hit | 1.5 Minutes
Shooter will start behind their rifle. On the shoot command the shooter will engage the 50 yard paper with their shooter number on it. When the shooter has shot 5 shots at the 50 yard paper the shooter will then engage the 100 yard paper with their shooter number. 5 shots only at each distance. If you fire more than 5 shots at either distance the number of shots will be deducted from hits made.

Stage 9 Pure Holds Prone 100, 125, 150, 175, 200
10 Rounds | 1 Point Per Hit | 2
Shooter will start standing. On the shoot command the shooter will get behind their gun and engage the 100 yard plate (largest TYL) with 2 rounds. Shooter will then move to the 125 yard plate and engage with 2 rounds. Shooter will then move to the 150 yard plate and engage with 2 rounds and so on. Shooter cannot touch their dial after the first round has been fired. Bag and Bipod ONLY

Stage 10 50 Yard KYL
5 Rounds | 1 point 1st hit, 3 points 2nd hit, 5 points 3rd hit, 8 points 4th hit, 12 points 5th hit| 1 Minute
Shooter will start behind their rifle. On the shoot command the shooter will engage the 50 yard KYL rack starting with the largest target. The shooter can stop at any time and take their points. If the shooter misses at any time they lose all points. If the shooter makes it to the smallest target a wiggle of the target will be counted as a hit, but only on the target itself. If you hit the hanger it will be counted as a miss. The hangers will be painted and the spotters will be able to see hits on them. If a shooter does hit the hanger the RO will call a cease fire before the next shooter and repaint the hanger only, not the target.

Also, NRL 22 publishes each months Course of Fire on their site.

i get my new knee in July, Is there any grace for the "permanently' handicap old f's ???

I can bring my blue hanger for proof...........

or Yall can help me up off the ground.

actually i HAVE to lose at least 60# before my doc will give me a new knee. no more good stuff

Lol sorry Buzz you got to run it same as everyone else. You better get the first 3 shoots in for the year before July.

yep, I plan on it

God Bless Drugs

Very interested thanks for doing this
Willing to volunteer help

recently got a Ruger american and today a nice used Weaver 6-24x42 arrived. Not the best for turret elevation changes (not a micro-trac) , but its all about fun anyway

Glad to have you come out my buddy shot the first one with my Ruger American Rimfire Target rifle an I think he got 5th. He got 2nd at the last match.

That’s wild, but sounds really fun at the same time! This will all be new to me, so I appreciate the best 3 of 6 scores. I’m sure it will take me a couple to figure out how it goes.

You got any videos of this kind of thing we can see?

Only videos I have are of the centerfire matches none of the 22 match but if you look up NRL22 it will give you some reference but we do shoot further than they do.

Here’s what I found

Interested depending on distance from Lubbock and my schedule. Shoot NRL22 now but always looking for other challenges.

Quality of equipment doesn't matter. Its on the shooter


I am proof of this

Some good info in that video. We shoot double what the NRL22 guys do though. Takes a lot to set these matches up and for you guys to get to them and entry fees just to come pop off 50 rounds of 22 and leave. I try to make it worth the shooters while as well as my own.

We're going to be right on 35 and east of 35 so will be a pretty good drive from Lubbock.

I am in for sure! For those asking about equipment, I shot the first .22 match with a Glenfield model 25 (bolt) with a 7 round magazine. It had a cheap redfield scope that only dialed down to 50 yards. I placed solidly middle of the pack. I had less than $200 total in my whole rig. So, yes, you can shoot this without dropping a bunch of dough. Although, you will have so much fun, that you will probably be spurred into spending a little $ on a new rifle/scope afterwards!

Yeah that's a haul. I may can make a couple. Who knows... I'll keep tabs on it and see what it looks like.

This sounds like it will be a blast I am very interested cannot wait to get more specific info.

We are still trying to hammer stuff down but I start vacation today and won’t be back until the 2nd of December. Still have a lot of logistics to work out on the backend, but stay tuned to this thread any new info I’ll post in here.

Can someone make suggestions for basic/minimum shooting accessories ? Currently have a caldwell tack-driver bag. Are you guys shooting prone on the ground, etc. While the videos help, just wonder what you all might do differently. thanks

I see this info on nrl22
. The course of fire will always be 2 prone stages, 1 positional, 1 barricade and a 5th that can be any of those things.

another question, is membership in NRL22 required or suggested ?

Only accessories I use and a lot of the other guys use are a bag, bipod, and gun. Some of the guys have a ton of accessories but it’s not needed.

Our course of fire is different than NRL22. We come up with course of fires ourselves.

No membership needed.

thanks, somehow I did not see the LONG post you made about a previous course of fire lol. reading it now.

This is going to be a lot of fun , I cannot wait

I will participate

getting ready... newly arrived CZ457. This will be my third CZ rimfire, the other two were 452's. which I don't have anymore...

Oh wow... that’s a pretty one!

thanks

perfect!! great gun

just in case this interests someone..

Best Pawn in Sherman has CCI green tag, about $9/100
a few boxes of RWS special match. Kind of a wide selection overall.
I got his last few boxes each of the RWS orange and RWS yellow, but he mentioned he would be ordering more.

Anywhere else in North Texas sell high end .22lr ammo? SK, Lapua, eley, Norma, wolf match? I will check the pawn shop in Sherman, but surely someone else sells it local where you don’t have to order, right?

I do not think the best pawn on parkway sales any of the high end stuff. I had to get all mine on midway. I still have a bunch of each left over if you just want to try them.

Deal. Thanks Kyle that’s very kind of you! I’m gonna pay you something for them though. I’ll shoot you a PM later and see when works good for you to meet up

Dammit Kyle, two post above your's literally Kyle... I knew I read it somewhere Greg, I just forgot it was in here

Ok, here’s what I’ve got so far.

I figure I’ll place an order from midway for some sk, Norma, Lapua, and wolf. Hoping I find something it likes and don’t have to buy a new barrel The receiver feels and cycles great, but I’m not so sure I like the tac-sol barrel that came with it.

Hell, I do not even know if mine will cycle lol.

Greg, try cci standard velocity. It's been more accurate for me than some of what you have pictured.

Thx bubba! I’ll add it to the pile

Wow, the first shoot in March is gonna be GREAT with all these shooters, new guns, etc....really looking forward to it!

has a firm date been set for March??

Was just commenting on Kyles proposed schedule........

No definite dates have been hammered down yet, but we have contacted several ranges and they either want too much money or have flat told us no. So looks like all matches will be held in Valley View.

Thankful for one range and your hard work !

Me too, Thanks Kyle! I’ve been lurking and wanting to be a part of these in the past. I’ll probably come in DAL, but I don’t care. I’m just looking forward to meeting all you guys and having a great time!

This has got my interest.

Count me in for next year sounds like a blast

So how big are the plates we are shooting at, and at what distances will we see the different sizes?

Most of the targets are very generous, anywhere from 2 MOA up to 6-8 MOA at longer ranges (max 200 yards). KYL and Black Death have smaller targets but those are optional.

What Chris said. We don’t know distances or what size plate until we make the course of fire for that particular match.

The gun to beat....
......ain’t this one due to the shooter behind it....but she sho is sexy!!!!

It’s gonna be a fun league.....thanks, Kyle for getting it going!

super sweeeet

Yeah that’s sharp! What all are we looking at?

Greg, it’s a 10-22, Brownells receiver, Kidd bolt and Ruger BX trigger. Volquartson carbon fiber barrel. All put together in a Archangel stock. 20 MOA riser and Athlon Midas TAC scope. She’s really purdy but only shoots 1 MOA..so nothing to be scared of.

sand bagger

Moi?

Gun masters in Plano has SK long range match and a box or three of centerx

How do you like that stock?

I like it a lot, Wade, due to the adjustability.....but be prepared to do 20-30 minutes of Dremel work.

Looks like it belongs in the hands of a storm trooper

First 3 match dates are below.

Saturday February 29th

Saturday March 28th

Saturday May 9th

Please mark your calendars and start planning for the matches. Registration will be up on my website tomorrow morning and I’ll post a link here.

What is the range location for these upcoming matches?

Valley View TX off Interstate 35.

Out for 5/9, will be getting my string stretched by magnum smallies and walleye on Erie.....should make others, will go to your site, Kyle.

No problem we’ll have 3 other matches after the first 3.

looks good Sir. Might not make the 28th...Trap shoot, Waco the next day. Yes. I said TRAP. LOL!!!

Sounds good Kylie

Awesome Kyle and thanks for organizing this.

In! May have a friend join as well. We are in the process of building up his old ruger now.

This seems like a lot of work for Kyle do you need some help.

Appreciate it but I have lots of help with the cohost and range owner. This is a partnership between us so I’m not doing all the work got a few guys working on it with me.

Will there be any days where the range is open for practice?

Just an FYI guys before each match we’ll be having a range day so that you guys can come out and shoot on the actual range at each distance to help you guys get Dope for your rifles and get families with the range. No course of fire, but will be good practice before the match to help everyone out. Would be $10 per person for the day.

Ha was just posting this when you posted.

Is the registration place up yet? Just looked at the "graphic stuff" and was unable to see it, thanks again Kyle for doing this.

Not yet bud, will be up by Thursday at the latest. I’m building a dedicated website for the league.

Also want to add any kids 15 and under that are shooting in the league are free on the range day with paying adult. This is only on the range day. Kids still have to register and pay to shoot in league.

Kids are welcome to come and compete we encourage this to be a stepping stone to centerfire competition so if you guys have any kiddos that want to compete bring them out. If you need to share a gun that is fine, but let us know when we’re making squads.

We are thinking 10 and over and they must follow gun safety.

Kyle, I am going to need you to move these matches closer to the Rockwall/Greenville area. Please and Thank You

Tried several different ranges on the east side. They either told us flat no or they want too much money for range fees. At $30 per match we just can’t pay what they’re asking. Also don’t want to have 6 matches a year and charge $50+ per match.

You and Jeremy should just carpool and split the gas money lol.

Well, thats probably better for all you fools. It would get a little redundant me taking the podium every match.

ETA: $50 a match doesnt sound unreasonable to me really as long as its not a 4 hour round trip.

How many are you expecting a match?

No clue yet got a lot of interest but we’ll see how the registration goes.

Guys, got the website framework done today and it somewhat functioning. Got the registration for the February 29th shoot up though.

Please visit https://ntxrleague.com/ to register.

Guys, I need a do over.

I decided to go with Practiscore for our registration, payment, and squading solution. For the 2 guys that already registered and payed through PayPal I've issued refunds. Please reregister the link is the same as before.

When you click on register on the website you'll be taken to the NTxR League Dashboard. Under active matches you'll see the match for Feb 29th. Please click that and register.

Practiscore didn't allow a shirt option so if you're interested in a match shirt please just PM. Thanks

Website is looking awesome dude this is going to be a blast

in

Thanks, I’ve had limited time to work on it only a couple hours so far but will have a lot more content coming and after the first match will have more pictures and video to flesh it out.

It’s coming up quick guys get your practice in and get registered.


We will be doing a 50% payout to shooters. Will be per match and at the end of the season we will have a payout to the overall points leaders. We’re in the process of getting sponsors for good prize table prizes as well.

We’ll be having a range day at the range for shooters to get acclimated to the range and get the dope for your rifles. February 8th 9am-2pm adults are registered adults are $10 and kids are free. Please pm for details if you’re interested.

Thanks

you ever run .22 pistol matches? built this guy 2 years ago, and never shot in a match. May end up selling it if i don't get into the competitions soon.

That is a nice looking piece, at the moment this is rifle only. Depending on traction we get we might have a pistol match and even extend it to other rimfire calibers like 17HMR (Yea I'm looking at you Josh).

O, so i build the rifle and then you decided to change your mind... Dammit Kyle!!!

Lol it would be an all 17 match not a 22 vs 17 match

This is one of the many reasons I hate you... Just sayin

Oh, so all of us have to build a 17 to match beez?

Lol I won’t be building one, I’ll just be RO’ing.

Nice , I built one also that I’ve barely shot

me too, really fun shooters. i sold this one, then had another built

i cant afford another $2500 just to shoot 2beeeez new side match

No, you could go with a bone stock Savage and be competetive for 1/8th the cost.

If you guys were planning to register you might want to get on the ball. Only 8 spots left for the match on the 29th.

You guys will want to come to all 6 matches, we will be having good prize table stuff of good cash payouts for shooter of the year (most combined points from all 6 matches) for both 1st and 2nd. We'll also be having a lesser prize for the best average over 3 matches for the guys that don't get to come to all matches you still have a chance at winning something. There will be other cash and prizes given out as well. Cash payouts at all matches to top 3 shooters.

I signed up yesterday. Gonna be fun and humbling.

We will be doing cold bore 200 yard shots before the match for side pot. $5 buy in, closest to bullseye wins. If there are two hits that are too close to call on the target we won't be breaking out the micrometer those two shooters will fire one shot each again and closest shot wins. Shooters may only shoot one time and only 1 shot per gun. Sorry for anyone that are sharing guns, but once a gun has been fired it can not be fired again during the cold bore shot stage. If you check zero before the match starts you can not shoot the cold bore shot.

After the match if anyone is interested in sticking around we'll be doing Black Death shooting for $5 per round. Winner takes all each round.

Gonna be fun !! Thanks for setting these up. Gonna be some great shooters with cool rigs. And chitty shooters with cool rigs and great shooters with plain O .22's

Rumor has it that Buzz is gonna have a pocket full of ‘dead presidents’ at the practice if anyone wants to challenge....

He better watch it, there might be a few guys to take him up on it.

Yeah, I’ll probably have to pass on that. I think my gun can hang...and I can’t wait for the practice...BUT... this will be my first competition, and I’m not efficient at all with running this scope. Heck, I still have to look at the arrow on the turret to figure out which way to turn it

But I will play the heck out of that $5 black card of death with y’all. Can’t wait to meet you guys and see how this all works!

Just a ‘teaser’ Greg, a little smack talk to get all fired up with Buzz as the target.....all in fun.

Love it! Speaking of smack talk... sure wish those tuff talking voodoo boys would sign up. You know... the ones who have “never been beat... and who will pay $100 to anyone who does”. I’d sure like to see just how bad they are.

I thought one of the guys with a voodoo was signing up, not sure if he did or not. Also don’t know if it was one of the two guys that made that statement. Plus what they’re shooting isn’t like what we’re shooting. They’re shooting F Class which is basically bench rest at one or two distances off a bench with extremely sturdy rest with a very light trigger.

Most the F Class shooters don’t fare too well in PRS type matches because in a single stage we might shot 5-6 different distances from 5 different positions of very unstable positions. Shooting strong hand and weak hand. More stuff going on in one stage of our match than their entire match.

It won’t be the best rifle that wins....it will be the best shooter.

I know you are right about that... it’s usually the Indian not the arrow. You give Tiger Woods an old set of Wilson 1200’s and he will still wax the snot out of them.

Yep my buddy Dustin came out with a stock 10/22 with a Simmons 22 scope he won from the first match that has no hashes just some big dots that didn’t correlate to the turrets and took 3rd in the last match. He out shot some really nice rifles including mine.

Not sure what my problem is, I went and shot today and zero’d my new scope. Ran it from 25-300 yards today to get my dope. After I got my dope I shot off the roof top at all 3 positions left and right handed, shot the barricade from 25 to 125 putting two shots on each target, ran the KYL, and never missed a shot.

Come match time I’ll miss everything.

Man Kyle hollar at me the next time you go do that. I’m itching to start figuring this game out. I sure don’t mind driving and picking up dinner for some help

It is all in your head. That is why Kyle

Yea I know, need to change that. Think it’s because I always have you degenerates in my ear.

Yea, I always get a smooth pass on the chit talking leading up until match day lol.

Dang, I take a few days in the hospital getting some guts taken out and I get hammered.........I'm used to it and feel proud just to be included in some smack.
May not be cleared for the 8th but I'll def sneak out before the 28th and try and see how many feet my 40gr drops at 225

I agree, the Vudoo's are the cats azz of bolt .22's $3300 little high for one .22. Definitely F-Class guns. I feel in "our" matches the semi has a slight edge over a bolt throw and time it takes to get back on Target. just my thoughts.

wont matter to me, I'll just be glad to be in the presents of greatness

Very sorry to hear that my friend... This growing old crap definitely sucks. .I promise to refrain from said ‘smack talk’ until such time that you truly deserve it.......probably in another week or so! Take care.

Did somebody call

No go away

LOL Dry erase guy

"Dammit Kyle"

Anyone know anything about Azimuth 10-22’s? Briley carries them or can order straight from Azimuth.
Buzz, I’m pretty sure you need one!

Nope but heard it through the grapevine ole princess ordered him a Voodoo yesterday

Oh my!

Kyle, I’ve got a stack of Black Death targets printed out for you.....no need for you to do it all.

Get out!?! That’s Sweet Patrick... can’t wait to see it!

Much appreciated sir!

only the best for my Bro !!!

Hey Kyle, did PracticeScore change formats or something? I can find our matches listed but can’t figure out how to drill down to see who/how many have sighed up......

It’s still working for me. Looks like 22 spots taken and only 8 left. To anyone standing on the sidelines... jump in and join us...This is gonna be a lot of fun!

YEP, you can be crappy like me but its a great day of shooting the duce duce.

No it’s still the same. If you click on our match it’ll show the squads.

Figured it out, thanks.

Just talked to the range owner. We’re keeping an eye on the weather at the moment showing rain for us pretty much all week. 2 weeks ago the range was a soggy mess when I went and we hadn’t even gotten much rain. So Saturday for the range day is still in the work, but I’ll let you guys know as soon as I know.

I’ll be sending out an email to the email you used to register in Practiscore with the directions to the range and anything else important so keep an eye out for that.

Just a heads up last 3 match dates have been set. Mark your calendars for June 20th, July 25th, and August 29th.

Kyle, what is the date of the practice day? Also, you know you are welcome to all of my targets if needed. Let me know if you need anything.

It was planned for this weekend but the way the weather is looking might have to push it a week or two.
Much appreciated, think we’re good on the steel at the moment but on different courses of fire for different matches.

Just a heads up, mother nature has canceled the range day scheduled for this weekend. We're going to let the range dry out as much as possible and try to reschedule for the weekend before the shoot (Saturday 22nd).

This is not guaranteed so please practice up and make sure your gun is ready to go on the 29th. There will be paper setup at 50 if you have to confirm zero, but you will not be allowed to do the cold bore side bet. Also on the day of the shoot you will not be able to shoot steel at the different distances before the match. You're only allowed to shoot the 50 yard paper.

I was looking forward to figuring out how to do the dope sheet today, but mother nature decided otherwise

Looking forward to hearing when the practice day will take place.

Thanks,
Will

Will, download the Shooter app (others available also), it’s very easy to use and pretty self explanatory.

Thanks. I do have one of these, and they do a good job at predicting trajectory. I am however curious to capture "actual" empirical data with my rifle/barrel/ammo from 50 to 200 yards to create my dope sheet :-)

Actual to 200 yards is iffy due to weather....you can get to 100 at Bass Pro Grapevine or Frisco Gun Club.

Range day has been rescheduled for the 22nd.

Another update!

Be sure and change your calendars. The May 9th match has been moved to April 25th.

Thank you

100 yards this afternoon....

Unfortunately they aren’t all like that!

Very nice!

My groups at 100 yards we even bigger - this 10-shot group being my best one:

Dang... those will get it done! That SK Longrange is where it’s at!

Nice groups guys, can't wait for the match. Its coming up fast.

Dang, just realized: when we post groups like that and then finish low.....people will realize WE REALLY DO SUCK! Lol.

I only expect to have some fun and learn something with you guys, so I don't mind posting groups and looking like a fool on the range

Here were other ones from the same day (light wind) at 100 yards - same rifle/setup as the one above:

Emails have gone out from practiscore again. Short notice shooters, but range conditions are decent this weekend and we're rescheduling the range day for this Sunday. It is supposed to rain all next week.

I’ll probably be there around 11:30.....

well, as per, colon doctor says no physical activity till March 15th. SO, please accept my entry fee and use for prizes, paint, targets, etc.

i now open up the DAL position. i may show up for moral support

Thanks much for the practice day today, and for answering all of the questions I had - you guys were great!

Glad to see you out there. Was a good time the match will be even better.

I agree with William... that was AWESOME!!! Was great meeting you guys and finally putting a face with some names. Big thanks to 2bees Josh for helping me with the mils and my scope adjustments. That really helped save me some ammo and time. I gotta say I was amazed at how well everything just walked down and back like it’s supposed to. I can’t wait till the match! Thanks for y’all’s help with my buddy Dax as well... he had a good time also.

Good to see a decent sized group out there and a great day for missin.....er, shooting!

Josh helped you with scope adjustments? Oh no, now you're gonna have to get someone to teach you to do it properly.

STFU Hammurabi

Just signed up. Can someone explain what the squads are? Sorry if dumb question but don’t worry, there will be more.

Exactly what I said to Greg when I saw it haha.

Squads on Practiscore doesn’t matter. Just pick an open slot I will randomize the squads the day of. We’ll shoot three squads of 10 shooters. So one squad will be in one stage second squad on another stage and third squad on another stage. We’ll run three simultaneously. This just cuts down on time and all shooters will shoot all stages just in different order.

Hammurabi- Hammurabi[a] (c. 1810 – c. 1750 BC) was the sixth king of the First Babylonian dynasty of the Amorite tribe[2] reigning from c. 1792 BC to c. 1750 BC (according to the Middle Chronology). He was preceded by his father, Sin-Muballit, who abdicated due to failing health. During his reign, he conquered Elam and the city-states of Larsa, Eshnunna, and Mari. He ousted Ishme-Dagan I, the king of Assyria, and forced his son Mut-Ashkur to pay tribute, bringing almost all of Mesopotamia under Babylonian rule.[3]

I think yo dumb [censored] meant to call the gorilla Harambe

On May 28, 2016, a three-year-old boy climbed into a gorilla enclosure at the Cincinnati Zoo and Botanical Garden and was grabbed and dragged by Harambe, a 17-year-old western lowland gorilla. Fearing for the boy's life, a zoo worker shot and killed Harambe.

Dang, I was too lazy to look it up!

Did anyone else go for the 250 just for grins?

Got home, and this was the dope I found out (reading straight from the scope's reticle):



I then got home, and since I got the chronograph data from LabRadar for 10x rounds of SK Match Long Distance, I entered these values into Strelock+, and came up with this "calculated":



Which is not exact dope to what I got from the reticle, but pretty close. I should check them again, specially the one at 150 yards

Will

Hey Will, I really like that program you have that gives you the distance and drop. I saw another guy out there today with the chronograph had a neat program like that as well!

I’m shooting the same ammo... the sk Longrange, only my scope is in mils. I have a 20” barrel with a 1:16 twist and I’m not sure what speed I’m getting, however I was able to get my Mils down to the 1/10’s of a mil today.

I’m curious if your program, or maybe another, could back into what speed I’m getting based off of the elevation Drops I have? I’m assuming the program will do both MOA and MILS, correct?

What apps/programs are everyone else using, and does anyone know if they will they back into speed?

My dope for today was:
50—0
75—.9
100– 1.8
125— 3.0
150— 4.3
175— 5.7
200– 7.2

Thanks!

Greg

Greg,

For Strelok, the instructions are here:
manual

You basically have to configure the rifle, scope, and configure the ammo. For the ammo you need to know the bullet weight (40gr in our case), the BC of the bullet, which is (0.172) per this page:
SK Rimfire Ballistic table

But the key value to make it work is the muzzle velocity - which is where you need the chronograph.

Now, this software has something called "truing" where you can use actual dope to adjust things, but I have not tried it. So using your dope you should be able to approximate the muzzle velocity.

I only have experience with Strelock, so hopefully others can chime in with additional advice and guidance.

Will

Thanks Will! I’m thinking maybe a spreadsheet with the formulas would be able to help me back into something as well. If anyone knows of a way for me to figure this out short of going and buying a chronograph, please let me know. Thanks!

Greg, the ‘Shooter’ app allows you to put your dope in and it will give you muzzle velocity. I think it’s still $10.

Okay cool, thanks Chris. I will get it now and play around with it. It was nice meeting you today!

Once you have added your gun and ammo data, do a calculation....when you get to the results page, hit the icon at the top right and it will open up a page where you can go to Velocity Calculation.

I just use the JBM online ballistics calculator. It’s the trajectory calculator on their site.

I might try that....always good to double check.

Just curious, after ya'lls range day. Did anyone clean their rifles bore?

So, Josh called me a "King"... I can dig it, King Fitz has a nice ring to it. May just have to change my name on the forum to that.

Not yet, but I’m gonna just run a snake down it and call it good. Was hoping to meet you out there Buzz. Hope you are back to good soon!

Negative ghost rider

I’ll probably do a cleaning before the shoot, then hit Bass Pro and put a hundred or so through it for a good seasoning...King Fitz, you are welcome to join......

I’d run a snake through it once or maybe twice and be done. But if you’re going to run 100 rounds through it before the match you should be fine but if you use coated bullets it takes a while to build back up in the barrel.

Buzz, since you’re paid up, no reason to come cheer us on when you can shoot the bench targets with no effort.....

We’re on the same page, Kyle, a snake is all I use....

Did you get the course of fire yet?


FWIW, I would never run a boresnake through any gun i own but thats just anal me. I do use a pull through Patch Worm on my semi- auto rimfires.

Why is that?

I’m interested also......

they are filthy and full of old lead, carbon, copper, yuck. just doesn't seem right to drag old yuck over new yuck.

for rimfire buy a Patch Worm and Rimfire Blend or Ballistol . they make felt "pellets" with special , course felt for tough lead and carbon donuts.

but ive always kept my stuff clean till time to shoot. i will always foul a clean barrel with a few shots, maybe not 2 boxes of rimfire. but everyone's guns could be different so YMMV.

this is just my opinion, not telling anyone what "they" should do with their guns

A valid point Buzz....I prefer bore snakes and will make sure I clean them often. Thank you.

Since I mostly/always have my Form1 suppressor in place, my rifle requires far more cleaning, so I clean my rifle after every range trip. This is due to the fact that my 10/22 is of course blow-back design PLUS the much higher back-pressure created by the suppressor, both contribute to a lot of dirt/debris going back into the receiver, which is of course cumulative, so the more I shoot, the quicker I get the gunk to create malfunctions/feeding problems. I am in fact considering stop using the suppressor on the 10/22, even though I love how quiet it sounds, at least until I finish a new Form1 design that I am still working on that "should" have lower back-pressure.

Hey Kyle....will Pump Pillows/Bags be permitted like they are at Jason’s shoots?

Yes, you’ll be able to use pillows. I’m not making the course of fire for this particular match so it’s up to the match director which will be Vesperman Sr for this particular match. It’s up to him what is usable and what isn’t in each stage.

Difference between TYL and KYL?

TYL is test your limits. Normally shot at further ranges and you keep the points you hit regardless of misses. KYL is know you limits and you shoot progressively smaller targets one shot per target and you can stop at any time and walk away with your points. If you miss on KYL you lose all points for that stage.

Thanks. I apologize for the dumb questions but this is my first competitive shoot. I’ll probably have more questions on Saturday!

Everybody started somewhere hell, BigFitz can tell yall about my first go at it lol.

No problem at all. That’s what I’m here for.

Yep, Josh was a bit nervous but he got over it quickly and is a fine shooter. Everyone is very helpful and laid back. Good people and lots of fun.

Hopefully I don’t jinx it, but the weather forecast looks great!

Tim don’t make his head grow any bigger lol.

Dammit Greg it’ll probably be snowing thanks lol.

For Saturday (assuming it does not snow 2 feet!), the calendar says 8am-2pm if I recall. We start at 8am, thus we need to arrive like 15-20min before 8am? Just trying to make sure I am not late on Saturday since this is my first ever event

More or less how is that 8-2 time during the day works out? Is there a set order of events, distances, groups, etc..?

Will

Sorry about that, the times on the practiscore needs to be changed. The match is 9am-2pm. Yes be there 15-20 minutes early, earlier if you need to zero. There will be paper at 50 for sighting in. You’re NOT allowed to shoot any other distances or steel. Steel will already be painted and we don’t want to waste time having to repaint steel before the match. Match will start at 9am. There will be 3 squads randomized, each squad will start on a different stage and shoot through each stage on the course of fire until they’re done. The last stage KYL we’ll all shoot together. Most people like to watch KYL.


Times have been fixed on all matches.

Thank you

Kyle, with sighting in does that mean no cold bore 200?

Correct if you shoot your gun at paper that morning you’re not eligible to shoot the cold bore shot.

What is the cold bore shot? I thought we have 3x squads, shooting at 3x sets of targets, and then alternate until all shoot all 3x sets of targets. Is this cold bore shoot something that happens before we start the 3x squads?

Again, pardon my ignorance as this is my first ever of these events.

Cold Bore shot will be before anyone fires a shot, right after the range/safety briefing. It is a Optional $5 per person pot. One shot at 200 yard steel plate. Whoever is closest to center dot wins the whole pot.


JUST AN FYI

We've spoke about it and have decided that for the first match we're going to try and do the 200 yard cold bore shot directly after range/safety briefing and then will give shooters a little time to sight in after the cold bore shot. So what I previously said about if you sight in you will not be allowed to shoot cold bore is no longer accurate. However, this is a "Sight In" period, not a range session. Please get on the bench or prone and shoot 5-10 shots max to confirm zero and then make room for another shooter. We're trying to keep the match in our allotted time from 9am-2pm. The first match will be a test bed for the cold bore and sighting in period it could change in the future if we run over our time too much.

It doesn't really matter in the first couple of matches because weather will be nice and cool, but the summer matches it is going to be hot and we don't have enough shade to keep everyone cool for extended periods of time. We want it to be fun, but also not take all day long.



Match registration closes Thursday at 4PM, we have 3 spots left.

All stages will be shot using a bipod and one sandbag, unless otherwise stated for that stage. No other props. Shooting mat may be used at any time. If you are using a semi-auto up rifle and the stage requires you to move positions you must put the gun on safety and call out safe to the scorekeeper, then move. Repeated violations of this rule will cause a DQ for this match. Bolt action rifles must have bolt open and back to change positions. Repeated violations will cause a DQ for this match.

There will be three squads. Each squad will be in charge of spotting hits, misses and scoring for themselves. Everyone must take a turn. When the shooter hits the target the spotter will call out impact loudly so the score keeper can mark it. If there is a discrepancy the squad must address it immediately amongst themselves, do not bring it up at the end of the match. If the issue cannot be resolved bring it to the match directors.

Thanks Kyle.......Maybe I’m not imagining the bench properly but Stage 1, scrambling back and forth so much, sounds inherently dangerous. Could the same be accomplished by shooting all distances from one side, then switching to the other? (I know you didn’t come up with it but you’re our ‘mouthpiece’ on the forum)

Should be fine. Semi autos are to put on safe and call out safe before moving positions and bolt guns are supposed to be bolt back. The switching back and forth is to get you uncomfortable. It’s much easier to shoot a 5 shot string right handed and then shoot it left handed. Mixing it up every other shot will shake it up a bit. As long as We handle the rifles correctly and safely it won’t be a problem.

Well crud.....huge problem Saturday......Does anybody know if the John Wick Marathon starts at 1:30 eastern or central?

Man down. Flu A. Y’all have fun and I’ll catch you on the second one. Fun times.

Dang!! Sorry to hear that Greg, will Dax and Jeff still be attending?

Yes. They will be there.

Is there a specific address for the event

If anyone would like to shoot in my spot your welcome to it, please get with kroyal
Flu got me as well

You all should have received an email from myself or practiscore with directions if you did not please PM for directions.

How's everyone preparing for the match? 2Beez said he was abstaining from sex (with girls) for a month. Y'all have other rituals?

Dayum!!!! Shots fired.

I've been so busy getting the match going, I really haven't even thought about shooting in it. It is probably going to be bad for me LOL.

Kyle, what’s the driving/parking situation?

Cleaned and re-fouled barrel today, (you’re right, Kyle, about 50 rounds to get it lubed back up), I’d post a pic of my groups but I wouldn’t want to scare y’all away.

We should be able to drive up the normal road but please wait at the gate when you get there. We’ll be running back and forth until everyone is at the match and checked in.

Come and get some tomorrow ‼️‼️‼️

Wait and follow or wait and catch a ride?.....could make a difference on what to pack.

Not really sure. Just depends on what it looks like tomorrow.

Man I wish I could be there instead of dealing with this. I got $5 says Patrick cleans house and wins first place!

You must be talking about the optional fluffer side pot. He will take first and Fitz will take second no doubt.

Ok, Kyle, thanks.

Dunno, Greg, Patrick can shoot but the Vespermans are pretty salty also......and Josh and Kyle.

Think your fever is getting to you. I might not get first but I’m beating princess dammit.

He got the voodoo

Don’t think the Voodoo is gonna help him very much in this type of shooting. If we were going for tiny little groups at 100-200 yards on a rock steady bench then I’d say he might have the edge. Even then Princess would find a way to mess it up.

ok, Josh the Gerbil Rancher has laid down the gauntlet.

Hope y'all have a fun safe shoot....can't wait to see all the smack posts/pics and the final results....

Have fun fellas....

What’s the over/under BIL takes it all?

That would be the equivalent to betting on a mule racing Secretariat. A snowballs chance in hell is generous here

I have $5 that says he scores higher than you.....

Let’s get this chit going!!!

Try and take some good pics, Kyle.

And like Snake said, y’all be safe and have fun!

I will be taking a lot of pictures and video

No updates, comments, pictures, trash talk....

They’re coming!!!



I beat Patrick.... to be continued

LOL

I hear all those high dollar rifles got beat by a factory gun and cheap scope

You hear right!

Did BIL outshoot 2Beez? I’ve got $5 riding on the outcome....

I think Josh beat Patrick as well and they all beat me.

Kyle and the Vespermans ran a great match. The wind was a friggin' BEAST in the afternoon blowing 20 to 25.

Josh got him I was going to bet BIL $100 this morning but I pussed out and only bet 10. Should have bet the hundo.

Damn...I owe the decoy magnet $5....

Man I sucked

You had to for Josh to beat you....

Did several people not shoot the final stage?

Lol those are all zeros! KYL with this wind kicked our asses today.

I feel like if Dustin had a better scope he’d probably gap all of us pretty good.

Yes, he would.

Chad and Jason have told us many times that the worst wind is directly in your face or directly behind you....AND THEY WERE RIGHT! Steady from 1-2 o’clock wasn’t much of a problem.

Also agree, Dustin seems to have a natural talent...

Enjoyed it today guys!! It was my first time and I definitely learned a lot... and I am ordering some dang 10 round mags right now for next time, the mag changes really sucked! Thanks for putting this on and I’m already looking forward to next month. - Andrew M.

For those of you that weren’t there Dustin shot the match with a factory 10/22 with a Simmons scope he won from the first match that is really no better than a duplex reticle. On the no holds stage he put the gun up on a rest and dialed his hold seeing how much the reticle moved to find his holds. He beat some of use guys having thousands of dollars in gear with his 350 dollar rifle. Natural talent for sure.

Can’t wait to do this. Dax said the wind was brutal and his gun had a ton of fte-ftl issues. He said he learned a lot from watching Tony for next time...especially on the station where you swap strong and weak sides. Both him and Jeff enjoyed enjoyed themselves, and I appreciate y’all showing them a good time!

Sad I missed it. I will make at least one this year.

I also hope to make the next one. Sounds like a good time and fun.

Finally an honest answer

NO excuses

They let me come to the match and watch it. Im an F/Class shooter. The shooting they do is on a different level. Im going to work on learning to do what they do. I love shooting 22s. But shooting the matches they shoot takes lots of practice and a mind set. Its not a gun and equipment race. The shooter that knows his gun and ammo best will win. The results of this match shows that. I have a ways to go but I will work on it

Good to have you out. Hope you come back and shoot a few with us.

It was good meeting you Nesikabay and enjoyed the conversation.

Kyle, thanks again for organizing another good match. Please pass on my gratitude to Sr., Jr., and Tony. Job well done.

Had a blast yesterday. Big shout out to Jeff for helping me get situated. I couldn’t hit paper about 5 mins before match started. Jeff helped get me on paper and squared away.

The shooting would have been that hard except the off hand shooting, the crazy positions you had to shoot from, the moving target, the damn time limit and the stupid wind. Other than that it was a cake walk!

Really had a great time and very thankful for the folks who put this together and hosted. Can’t wait till next month. I’ve got a lot to practice!

Thanks for a great event. My daughter is not quite ready to try a full event yet, but if we have another practice day, I would love to know so that I can bring her, so that she can try hitting targets 50-200 yards

He’s not on this forum, Shaner, but I let him know you appreciated his help. He said he was happy to help and was glad it all worked out!




You should do it. Dax brought his 10 yr old boy out to practice day and he popped that 200 yard target and had a grin from ear to ear. He was real proud to tell his momma when he got home!

Yes sir! No problem glad we can do it and make it fun and challenging at the same time. Hope everyone comes out next month as well. I’ll be doing the course of fire for the next one.

It better be tall people friendly or the silverback and patty are going to loose their chit

Dang right! No midget stages please.

If anyone here has time to help me learn this new game. I will have targets built. I have a really nice private range. Come on up and we will shoot. I have to learn some time. Just let me know what size targets.

I will be happy to come out and shoot with you. You can learn from me what NOT to do.

I think that several of us would show up and practice together. I would. Like in the movie "build it - they will come". Or something like that

This was my first event ever, and my thoughts are that in this type of competition, yes, equipment is important, but not the deciding factor. Both knowing your gun/ammo "well", and then learning to shoot "your setup" from uncommon positions, from weak hand/side, and under time pressure was far more important that theoretical group size capabilities.

If you have a private range, I would break it down to:

Phase 1: no time limit
- Find the consistent/accurate ammo your rifle likes.
- Really learn your setup over 25-200 yards - create your dope chart(s)
- Practice as many of the various positions as possible (given the course of fire shared above)
- Practice as many of these positions weak hand/weak side
- Practice alternating distances - without touching the dials (focus only) - learn to use your reticule

Phase 2: start timing yourself
- Repeat above but start with a generous time limit 3-5min
- Gradually lower that time limit to force you to shoot faster and still hit most everything
- Eventually practice at the 1:30 limit (or 1min) per the course of fire


Of course all that above means = lots of practice. At least that is how I see it in my head

Me too, happy to help any time, days off vary.....just send message.

Thanks again guys for everyone who came out and enjoyed the match. Looking forward to the next one. Hopefully Dustin will have a new scope by then .- tony

I will see if I can get some targets built. If any of you have targets that would help. We can plan a range and lot testing day. 4 or 5 of us could get together. I shoot matches the 1st and 3rd Saturday evey month

I can help with the welding part - I have in the past welded steel targets for our Boy Scout troop. So if someone can source steel, I can cut and weld it (although I don't have a way to do circles).

Those are nice sir! Good work.

Thank you for your kind words. I donated those to my son's Boy Scout group on Dec 2019, which were also shot with 22lr rifles

We are looking at possibly having a range day Match 21st 8am-11am if anyone is interested please post up so we can get a head count.

I will probably make it, Kyle. About 75% at this time.

If you guys have any input on potential stages you would like to see at the match please let me know

Yes Tony is doing this months course of fire, I’m a bit busy working late outs of work at the end of the month. I’ll get the next one.

I just asked my daughter, and she would love to have the opportunity to try shooting at some targets during a range day. So that would be the two of us


I also have ideas for two new steel target designs I could weld up - something to mix it up a little.

Log, roof and barricade were my favorites... Just saying

That stupid freaking floating target was cool as hell and I would like to see that one again.

5 dot drill (but I can’t make the next couple of shoots).

https://mgmtargets.com/product/22-rimfire-whirly-gig/

I'll miss the 4/25 shoot, will be shooting in David's fundraiser clay shoot

one more surgery on my tummy in May, hope to make the summer 3 shoots Rifles getting lonely in the safe

of course, your a young fert, some of us might collapse the roof if we get on top of it. I can figure out the barricade but yall will need to help me up

Have them install one of those stair climbers you see on TV

Isn't anyone going to the next match. I checked registration and there is only one person signed up.

I can't make many of them, as I am helping my son's Boy Scout Troop, and we got camping events every month, and some of them overlap with these shooting events.

I’m planning on competing this month. Just haven’t signed up yet. Been busy partying in Vegas! I think I may have got the Makers Mark virus.....

It is coming up quick, you boys better get to registering.

Below is the link to register for the match.

https://practiscore.com/clubs/ntxr

Thanks Tim, yes the link to register will never change it'll just take you to our Club Page and any open matches can be registered for.

Today I changed from a ‘no way’ to a ‘maybe’, will know for sure in a day or so.

I just signed up! Hopefully Tony doesn’t have us doing too much of that off-hand stuff!

Is the range day still planned for the 21st or is it going to be too wet?

I imagine it’ll be too wet but not sure.

Range day definitely not happening guys. Just got confirmation from range owner. Way too wet.

What about the match this Saturday? Is it going to happen or is it going to get postponed due to today's environment?

I'm not going this weekend. I don't have dope plus my wife is a nurse and I can't risk getting infected and passing it on to her.

Yea Tim got your email last night.

If the shoot doesn’t happen or is postponed the guys that have registered will be refunded or just carried over to the new match. Range owner is still a go at the moment. But stuff can change.

Ok. I'm signed up but I won't be attending so if you can forward my entry to a later match great. Or if I forfeit it, I'll live.

I would love to be there again but I’ve got a 2 year old and prego wife at home. I’ll be back once this all settles. I hope everyone is staying healthy!

Just a heads up guys the match for Saturday has been canceled. It will be rescheduled for a later date and all registrations will be carried over. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Thanks. I think it's the right decision plus hopefully it will give me some time to practice!

Thanks Kyle!

I just found this match info and read through the entire thread. Got really interested in it then saw all of the talk about mil dot, dope, etc. Saw some of the rifle and scope set ups and man, some of y’all are serious about this. I’m just an old country boy that shoots turtles, rocks, and punches some paper for fun with my .22. Just bought a plain Jane S&W M&P 15-22 and a regular scope that I haven’t even fired yet. Y’all got me scared already. But I’ll try to get out and give it a go just for fun and to meet everyone. Worst I can do is last place and enjoy burning up some ammo. Sounds like everyone had a good time.

I have an idea that i got from my Nephew. He is on the HS Bass fishing team, and they can not complete in tournaments. What they are doing is online tournaments. They fish, catch fish, and take a photo of it on the scale. Why couldn't we do something like that here? Send out a course of fire (all paper targets). You must shoot them at the designated distances in designated stance (prone, kneeling, bench, offhand), and send the photos in. Any interest?

I'm going stir crazy, so God willing we will be having a match on April 25th LOL.

If we do have a match, I won't be able to attend this one either. My father-in-law has serious respiratory issues, and we have frequent contact with him. I can not risk passing anything to him.

Sorry to hear that, don't think the virtual shooting match would work with the money payouts. I feel like we'd have several people shooting perfect scores LOL.

Oh, I wasn't thinking cash payouts, just something fun to do to pass the time.

Oh gotcha. I'm sure there are a lot of people with cabin fever at the moment and would like to get out and go shoot something. We'll be outside, run what you brung (don't use other's gear), and a little social distancing we'll be fine.

fun!!!

Andy B here. Only guy to show up with an AR at the inaugural shoot. I've been lurking waiting to see if there's been any updates. I'm in for the 25th! Any possibility of getting a practice in or a chance to check DOPE before the shoot? I got a new scope and local range only goes 50-100-300-400yrds.If not, I'll make due. I just want to shoot.

Glad you're making it back out again. I think this one might be a little short notice to get in a range day since it is next weekend. We'll have a range day for the next one though, I know that doesn't help you any at the moment though.

Also just FYI anyone that registered for the last match that got canceled is already registered for the April 25th Match.

Just wanted to correct this. Just got off the phone with Vesperman Sr. and we're going to have a range day this saturday the 18th for those that want to come out. If you were a registered shooter from the last match you probably just got an email from "no reply". Please look at the email for further instructions.

Range day will be from 9am-12pm

Thanks

Awesome and thanks Kyle. Looking forward to both days.

Great, Kyle, thanks!

Hey, Kyle, while we were practicing yesterday it was suggested that the course of fire may change before we shoot... could you please make sure we have the true course of fire a day or 2 ahead of time. Thanks.

First I’m hearing of it, but I’ll try and make sure I get it out before hand.

If you guys haven't yet, please register. Match is this Saturday, coming up quick.

Chris the course of fire is not changing.

Thank you Kyle.

What, no pictures, no report, no nothing? With limited participation we had a really good shoot. The wind was a bit of a pain but it was fairly consistent and allowed us to adjust accordingly. Congrats to the winners....lots of really good shooting going on.....and lots of fun!

With smaller squads and no bottle necks it ran pretty quickly today. Didn’t even have time to take any pictures too busy keeping score, time, and spotting. I did get a picture of the score board but that was it. Was a good day and a fun shoot. Good course of fire Tony.

I beat Princess, Fitz, and Dustin so it was a good day for me lol.

If I can ever get my right eye trained to close, Kyle, so I can shoot ‘weak side’ (workin on it), you’ll need to watch out!

Also, Kudos to Sr. for his 7 on the ‘Snake Charmer’, shooting a moving target ‘shotgun style’ ain’t easy, Kudos to David B. for cleaning station 8 and kudos to Blaine for getting off to a rough start and bringing it back to a very respectable score! All in all, a really good day and a really good shoot.....many thanks.

Kyle reportedly dropped Dustin's rifle on "accident" it appears.

It was a good day, Kyle and Chris were shooting great. Princess and I, not so much. Note that Kyle "worked on" Dustin's rifle the night before and it seemed to have a lot of jams. Something is a bit fishy...

The S&S group are some incredible shooters and fast.

I great time was had and the springtime weather was wonderful. I have learned a little while learning this gun and game. The game has exposed my faults, but the part I like most is the fact that this can be done by anyone with any capable gun that holds ten rounds. I’m getting beat bad by much more normal priced options. So those on the fence, come out and try. Everyone is friendly and shares their knowledge when asked.

Lol I replaced his bolt release. So took his trigger pack apart nothing else. He hasn’t cleaned that gun since he bought it. Ain’t got nothing to do with me.

Also thanks to the Vespermans for calling and spotting me to a 12” target at 300 yards with some pretty gusty wind!

300 yards is salty for a 22lr, especially in that wind. Congrats Patrick.

It was refreshing after sucking at the game. I made me realize I can still shoot, I just suck at the game

That is pretty BA right there. I would have slapped that goofy looking stach off your face though.

That’s damn good, Patrick! I did 250 with Sr. Spotting for me a couple practices ago. Not sure I’d have enough dial for 300.

BTW, and speaking of bolt releases, I have an extra ‘auto’ release from Volquartson. It turns out theirs won’t work with a Kidd bolt, had to get one from Kidd. Freebie for anyone that wants to come get it.

Well Dustin ordered the Kidd auto release, but he is dumb and lost it.

WTF over...look at that porn stache!

Can you tell us how the points are done, Kyle? How can Blaine have 37 points when he had 47 points in the last shoot?

Sr. is going to look back at the squad sheets to confirm the score. Think it was just a typo on my part when entering the numbers to the website.

WTF? 300 yards with a 22? Freaking awesome

Yes sir, I’m going to order a new base so I can try for 400

What kind of rifle is that? Would be fun to have a list of gun models used in these comps

That is an 18” Vudoo in the pic

So going from memory from the standing list
Top 10
CZ
40x with custom barrel
Tikka with custom barrel
CZ
10/22 with Kidd barrel
10/22 hammer forged barrel
3/4 I’m not sure

Then I’ve seen below out there
A few more customized 10/22
The ruger bolt
Another CZ or two
And ar15 .22 of something


I see mostly vortex scopes, and Athlon, a couple Cabela’s scopes, a Simmons,
That’s all I remember

New Updated List

Blaine did have 47, it was a typo when sent to me with the new scores. Has been updated on here and the website.

When’s the next match???

All this vudoo chit talkin has got mine hungry it wants to eat some 10/22’s and cz’s for lunch!

May 16th come on out

Unfortunately these keep falling on a work day for me..
I’ll check back on the next go around.

Check our website ntxrleague.com it has all the dates.

Just FYI I’m not really talking smack about the voodoo I’m just poking fun at Patrick (BIL).

But if you’ve never shot PRS positional type stuff you might be surprised how many 10/22 and CZ’s eats your lunch.

Get signed up guys, match is going to be May 16th and is coming up quick.


https://practiscore.com/clubs/ntxr

Will we have another practice between now and then?

Practice day will be this Saturday the 9th from 8am-12pm.

BIL really needs some practice!

Thanks Kyle.

I won't be able to make the practice but I did get signed up for the match on Practiscore. Can't wait to go shoot again. Could someone please tell the wind to calm down? I need all the help I can get.

For those of you that have signed up or were going to sign up for this weekends match. It doesn't look like Mother Nature is going to let us shoot.

I'd like to get some feedback on which day you guys would rather move the match to.

We have the 23rd which is the Memorial Day weekend or the 30th.

Please respond on this thread, thanks.

I’m good for either one.....

Next week would be a good way to kick off Memorial Day Weekend. I'm okay with either date.

Update I had forgotten other range officers will be out of town on the 30th. Weather this weekend is just looking bad and it’s already a soupy mess at the range. We’re postponing until the 23rd. That’s the only other day in May we can have it.

Thanks

Thanks Kyle. I plan to be there and will shoot my 10/22 this time since I can't run my CZ fast enough to keep up. Being old and broken down doesn't help...

Agree Tim! I vote 1 extra second (per stage) for every year over the age of 50!😂

I need way more than that...

No extra time for you jokers!!!


Everyone get registered if you haven't already.

Assuming same course of fire, Kyle?

Yes same course of fire only correction is the dot drill is 50 not 100 and the 200 prone no holds is at a smaller plate than normal.

What? Smaller plate at 200 that none of us have seen before!,,,, The sky is falling, the sky is falling! I want my money back!
Snowflakes revolt, it’s all a sham and the repubs are all out to get us! Run and hide to your safe place! Biden forever!

See y’all Saturday...

Another great match today. Only a tad muddy.

Congrats Sr.!, and thanks again, Kyle, for putting it all together.

You feeling better bud?

We have exciting news!
We have acquired several sponsors for our 22 rimfire league. They are donating prizes for a prize table at the end of the year. In which everyone will get to draw from. To name a few of our sponsors:
Vortex Optics
BlAMM Enterprise
MK machining
Murphy Precision
To be able to qualify for the prize table at the end of the year a shooter will have to shoot in at least 3 matches.
We will also be giving away a prize to the shooter on the crease. The crease shooter will be determined by listing the shooters from first to last for that match on a piece of paper and then folding it in half. The shooter on the crease of the folded paper will win the prize.

How many times did you shoot the ladder? I'm guessing three...

I shot the ladder once same as everyone else. Lol

If you’re talking about the 10 score clean stage that was the dot drill.

not the stage, to be more specific, how many holes did you put in the steps...

Oh lol well in that case a couple

Had ITRDM shown up the ladder would be shorter on one side. Kyle at least corrected. We really should do a midget 22 brawl

ITRDM is skeered, built a gun but claims ‘too far to drive’, charliedeltaskeeredalso too.

We are considering having a long-range steel match from 150 yards to 350 yards later this summer . If anyone is interested let us know so we can get a head count of how many people would be interested in attending this match. 22LR. This match will be shot either prone or from the bench you will only be allowed to use a bipod and rear sandbag.

I would be interested...just not sure if current equipment can get me past 300.

You would need to have a 20 to 25 MOA base on your rifle , that would definitely get you to 350 , and depending on what scope you have it could get you to 400.

I run a 20MOA base and a Vortex Viper Gen2 and it’s 12 Mils at 300. Still got plenty of travel with this setup.

I’ve got enough, (couldn’t remember how much reticle I had)

I know it’s short notice....any chance of getting a course of fire for 6/20 before tomorrow AM?

We do not give out course or fires before range day anymore.

[quote=VarmintSniper30]You would need to have a 20 to 25 MOA base on your rifle , that would definitely get you to 350 , and depending on what scope you have it could get you to 400.[/quote




After doing further testing Saturday evening I have found I am incorrect on my thread above about moa bases. A couple of friends of mine and I were shooting and found that you have to have at least a 25 moa base or more to get to 350. Sorry for the bad information above.

I could be wrong but that should depend on how much travel your scope has as well as its reticle.

Don't forget to sign up for this weekends match. Going to be a good one.

Registration closes Thursday evening at 9PM. Emails with directions and COF will go out Friday morning.

Course of Fire is up on the website.

Oh boy! This is going to be good. Looks like I need to practice my weak hand before Saturday. It just doesn't feel right trying to shoot wrong handed.

Is this good for accuracy? I thought it would be fun to have a big brake on my 22lr. This is probably about 400 rounds through it without cleaning. It's got a little bit of build up.

Lol what did you shoot through that thing before the 22? Honestly though it probably is terrible for accuracy, probably messes with your barrel harmonics. Some of the guys were complaining about how loud my rifle is so I threw my suppressor on and the groups opened up a lot, took it right back off and told them to suck it up.

It was brand new before I put it on the 22. It replaced a flash can that was on the rifle earlier this year. Ran okay until the last match. I couldn't hit anything and I figured I was just having a bad day. I'm sure all the fouling didn't help out. I tried knocking the garbage loose and I'm getting chunks of lead coming off. This tanker brake came off and an A2 flash hider went on tonight after I cleaned the rest of the rifle.

That is alot of gunk right there. Kyle Ricky Bobby'd his 22 ammo

Ahh I see it now, when I looked at it last night it looked like there was a bigger bullet put through it than the bore was.



Lol I wish

Just a heads up, we will be having range day Saturday the 18th from 9am-12pm. Range owner will not be there until 9am so gate will be locked, just wait at the gate for Sr.

New Course of Fire is up on the website.

https://ntxrleague.com/index.php/course-of-fires/

Registration ends today at 3pm. Get registered.

Another great match today. Made some really dumb mistakes which you can’t do against this caliber of shooters so I brought up the rear today. Still a good time.

Guys if you’ve been to 2 of these matches you really need to register and come to the last match Aug 29th. We are going to have a huge prize table with all of us probably going through twice. But you have to have shot 3 league matches over the year. Athlon just sent us some Argos BTR scopes for the table as well.

Great match yesterday. Came out tied for 7th. So happy with my score, haha. The last match will be a bit bittersweet. I'm glad I stuck with it and kept shooting each match even on or after those bad day. I'm sad that it will be the last match after I'm starting to get this PRS stuff figured out. I got a couple moments to pause and take some pictures too,

Great having you out Andy. Just practice over the break and come back strong next year. That’s what I’m going to have to do.

I’m sure we’ll have several non-league matches between now and then to brush up you skills. Any that we have I’ll post them in the rifles section of this forum as well as on the NTxR website. So keep any eye out.

Yes Andy it has been a pleasure shooting with you. And I appreciate all of your help at the matches.

Range day will be August 22. From 8 a.m. till 11.

For our last league match we will be shooting out to 250 yards. We will also be posting the course of fire before range day this time.

Registration is open for 6th and final match of the year.

August 29th match: We will be shooting out to 250 yards on one stage.  Please make sure you have DOPE out to this range.  We'll be sending out the course of fire TO REGISTERED SHOOTERS ONLY before range day so you can practice.  This will be going through Practiscore, so if you haven't registered for the match on Practiscore you will not receive the Course of Fire before range day.

Guys that have came to 2 matches, we have a pretty large prize table. Regardless how you did in the 2 previous matches I'd suggest you register and come out for the last match to get on the prize table.

As for the prize table you must have shot at least 3 League matches during the 2020 season. You must be present at the last and final match of the season August 29th.

So I have a question!
I have registered for the match on the 29th, what has to be done to register for the range day on the 22nd?
I click on the praciscore for the event of the 22nd and it takes me to the 29th

Also if someone could pm me the address I’d really appreciate it.

I registered for the first one however got sick and couldn’t attend, really looking forward to this shoot!

If you’re a registered shooter you just show up during designated time on the 22nd. I’ll be sending out emails Friday with directions to the range and the course of fire. If you do not receive it please pm me on here.

Sweet, I have good dope to 200 I think I’m close within a click or two out to 250, maybe even 300 depending on how windy it is.. so I really need the range day personally..

August 29th Course of Fire is up. Remember we're shooting 13 stages for the Finale vs the 10 we normally shoot. So make sure and bring enough ammo to finish.

Get registered if you haven't already Rigistration Link

Course of Fire

I'm registered. Gonna be humbling.

About time TIMMY!!!!

Don’t worry Tim....we can cross the finish line together....at a nice leisurely crawl!

https://www.atlastargetworks.com/products/rimfire-half-scale-whitetail-buck-w-reactive-vital

Just an FYI guys there has been a small change to the Course of Fire on stage 2.

Thanks

https://ntxrleague.com/index.php/course-of-fires/

Deer target is up and running, I hope you girls are ready

At what distance?

It’s on the course of fire Chris. It has been updated on the website and the email that was sent out earlier.

It was a scorcher today, 111* heat index. Was a good day for sure though.

Today Tony got 1st shooting a 96 and Sr and I tied for 2nd with both shooting a 95

Congrats to Vesperman Jr for taking 1st over all, Tony taking second overall, and Sr taking 3rd overall.

I won overall Cold Bore champion

Sr won overall Black Death champion.

Prize table today was outstanding. Thank you to all of our sponsors and guys that donated.

Above all thanks for a great year of shooter safety. Looking forward to next season already.

We had a praying mantis that took a liking to my gun. Maybe it was my lucky charm today.

Oh and we had a real life pirate on the range today lol.

Wheeew! Looks like y’all had fun!

We did froggy!!!

Tim did well I see

Too hot for me froggy. Great job Kyle on a huge success of a season.

Great job Kyle and thanks to the Vesp clan. What a great range!!! Hope to play next year, it;l take me that long to gather data.

maybe a couple range days this winter???

Gather data on what? Lol give me your gun and I’ll sight it in for you at 50 and get your dope for you for all ranges we shoot. Takes me about an hour, I’ve done it for Dustin and Omar.

Thanks Tim and Buzz it was a success for sure and hope to grow it next year.

It was very interesting to see how the 200 yard cold bore group (bullets) has shrunk! Early in the season there were shots all over that target, this time most were within a few inches of center.

Thanks again Kyle, Senior and gang! Looking forward to more!

Nice, hope to be in the loop next year.

Keep an eye on our website North Texas rimfire league . And you will be in the loop. Look forward to shooting with you next year

Final Points Race Update.

Congrats to 1st, 2nd, and 3rd. I'll catch yall next year.

https://ntxrleague.com/index.php/points-race/

If I would have just showed a little self control on the k y l , I would have taken second place easily but I got greedy and went for first.

+1

Congrats to the winners and all who participated - thanks as always for the photos and updates in this thread

It's funny, because on KYL I stopped at 8. Dustin made the remark right afterward, "what if you need those 3 points to beat stan". And what do you know, I lost 5th place to Stan by 3 points.

You and I like the k y l more than most and it got us both. The big what if ❗ damned-if-you-do damned if you don't but I still enjoy the hell out of it.

ultimately the most enjoyable thing of the whole year was the great group of shooters we shot with. They were all very safe and fun to be around .

If you can gather up four or five shooters we can probably do something .

When it cools off I’ll be ready to play.

im running out of excuses

Hey guys I just wanted to give a shout out to Patrick he shot an 88 in that last match which is pretty dam good. It's good to see he's starting to get the hang of it . It's a shame the league ended just as you're starting to get on a roll.

Princess is a good dude Senior and glad y'all were finally able to teach him how to shoot...we've been trying for years.

Apparently I'm getting old and not thoroughly reading things I noticed a day later now that Chris shot an 86 which is also very good. That is an awesome improvement for both of those guys. They could be hard to deal with next year for a lot of people. I think they're coming for Kyle.

Who’s ready for next year!!

Me! Kyle says February and it can’t come soon enough!

I think that’s when we’re starting back up, but maybe March. I can’t wait either because I’m shooting like crap with my center fire rifle lol.

Gotta be prepared.....

Lol been there done that, didn’t help me a bit.

ELEY 42gr bullet going 1250fps

what's the BC on a rimfire bullet? I'm trying to start building a drop chart

Stay subsonic

G1 is .1720 on most.....but pay heed to what Kyle said. Also, even though charts are good, I have never shot a series of distances using a chart and been ‘on’ at each distance, there are always variances.....DOPE is King.

I am glad everyone had a great time, and I hope to be able to participate in future events.

Based on what I learned here, I made a new steel target for an upcoming Boy Scout camping - details here:
steel target for Scouts

Will

Nice Will

Looks great, Will. I would suggest something to cause just a bit of drag so the target ‘settle’ quicker after being hit, giving the shooter more time for good shots.

Gotcha - makes sense. Thank you!

Here is the target, now painted and ready to go:

Very nice! How about one that you have to hit 2-3 times to get it to make a full revolution? Shot #1 gets it moving, #2 increases the swing, #3 gets it over the top! Maybe in 2 shots if really solid impacts.

Interesting!

I used to shoot at a shooting range that had a pepper popper that worked like that with 9mm. It would only fall "if" you hit it enough times in a row to create enough momentum. It was great for teaching double tap drills.

For the 22lr, I would have to experiment with the arm length and mass, plus it would also depend greatly on the ammo you use - our subsonic 1000fps ammo will not move the target as much as the 1300-1400fps hunting ammo. Would need to figure out how to account for that difference somehow.

I think it would be a great target to figure out and build for adults, but certainly not for the Boy Scouts as we are teaching them mostly the fundamentals and we don't want (yet) to encourage them to try to shoot too fast

The one we shot at JG’s shoots (centerfire) would not make it with .223 but with anything heavier. .243 with 87 grain took 3 solid impacts, maybe 4 whereas 7mm could do it in 2. It’s not as much shooting fast as it is ‘when’ to shoot. You had to hit it going away, hit it swinging the wrong direction would stop it. A long arm and lighter weight target would give you long, slow swings vs. a shorter arm and heavier targets.

Do you have a photo or some other visual to help me "see" how that target was put together?


I recently ran into this video by Gavin where he is shooting at a rimfire spinner pro, and a couple of times if he hits it right, it makes it spin faster:

That’s pretty close but the one we used had only 1 leg (about 4’ I think) with a foot or so of extension on the other side, it settled faster.

you guys trying to add a swinging KYL stage to these matches?

If so, in real life the swinging KYL is a match all to its own.

If you ever find a picture, please post it. In the meantime, I looked at my crap steel bin and found enough metal to make one spinning target similar to the one in the video above. I just ordered some sealed bearings so that I can provide smooth turning. I "might" get lucky and have it ready in time for the December campout but I am not going to stress about it as I already have one new target for the kiddos (and adults) attending camp

OK, got a new target made - here is a video:
swing target


I will post a picture once it is painted. I suspect that it is too heavy for 22lr - hope to get to try it before the camping trip.

Will

OK, spinner target ready. Like the other targets, since we go to the same site every Dec, I design these targets so that we leave the posts in the ground, and just take the moving parts back to storage:

Our Rimfire matches this year will be held on Sundays starting in February 2021. We will have our full schedule out here in the near future. All of us at North Texas Rimfire league are looking forward to this year hopefully we will see everybody back again and some new faces also.

Not a swinging KYL, Buzz, a swinging target like at Jason’s matches only for center fire. Gotta hit it 2-3 times to get it over the top.

Kyle and Senior...we need a match sometime in the very near future! All you no-shootin’ sumbeaches have had plenty of time to go snuff Bambi, let’s get back to serious bidness!

LOL , I am picking up what you are putting down Chris .

BIL just got called straight the F out

Not sure how I called out BIL but if it gets some shootin’ going on, even a nice practice day, I’m all for it!
Besides, I’m getting ready to start loading my own and need to see if I’m as bad at it as Kyle!

You gonna have to work really really hard to be as bad as me. Lol

What can I say, it’s a gift

Is there a mailing list to get on to get notified of these matches? Im interested in making a few.

Keep an eye on our website and here. Once we get our schedule hammered out they’ll all be posted with registration links on our website.

OK, made it to the range, and got to test both targets today:



And today was my first time ever shooting my CZ457:



The 5x swinger (know your limit) worked great!. At the 40 yards or so, the 3x folks that tried it got 5 for 5 with my scoped CZ457 and Gemtec subsonic ammo. Not bad, although after hitting the left most target (3") I had to adjust point of impact down to hit the next 4:




The other swing target (far right) - way too heavy for 22lr, as I expected. But with my subsonic 200gr 358Win bolt action cast lead load, myself and another dad were able to get it to rotate with two shots. Definitely MUCH harder than I expected it to be, and a lot of fun!

Nice targets sir!

I got a new build coming for this year...

I would love to be able to help and weld something for you guys and the range.

I provide the time/welding consumables - I just need the steel. And note I don't have the ability to cut any circles/shapes - just straight cuts on my metal bandsaw




That welding cart/base was also my handiwork:

That looks way too clean lol.

By the way I meant new gun build for the upcoming season.

Trust me. That was back in 2014. It does NOT look anywhere as clean as it looks there. Still fully functional (it has a hydraulic piston for controlled descent) and the VFD still works perfect, but lots of usage and "battle scars" as well!




Ahh, gotcha - all good

Do yo have a link for the website? Ive missed it. Appreciate it!

www.ntxrleague.com

Or click on the league logo in my signature will take you to it.

Thanks

Awesome! Thanks!

Sweet. Only an hour north of me. Looking forward to trying some out.

And it is not just the short drive. It is a really nice facility/range, with lots and lots of challenging and fun targets

And a couple ‘not so friendly’ targets also!

For all you KYL target haters out there.

That’s great! Do you have one for me that says One & Done?

Very cool Kyle. I want one in 3XL (or 4XL if they shrink)

Kyle knows what that feels like Shirt looks awesome brother.

Well [censored], we’re apart of PRS now so KYL is not an option anymore because we’re not allowed to “take points away” in PRS. So guess no KYL this year guys. I’ve got a spin on it to still use the KYL targets though.

Option 1: you have to hit the first 4 targets to get to the 5th and the 5th target is worth 10 points.

Option 2: each target worth 1 point 2 shots per target. Must hit to move on.

I just wrote something I did not want to post but realized something. How is PRS involved?

PRS stole our idea and decided to do PRS style matches. We joined this year for next year to be a PRS Rimfire match. So you can shoot our matches and be ranked against all the other shooters around the USA and qualify for the regionals and nationals if you’re good enough.

Cool, did not know about that bud. I am cool with that.

I read the COF for the Nationals this year, (NRL, not PRC), my impression was; 1) Too many ‘trick f-ck’ stations where you can’t remember what target to shoot next and 2) Not ‘Sr. friendly’, with lots of transition from standing to prone.

Not NRL22 it’s new PRS

Any of you guys that have some of the higher end 22 ammo mind selling me a box?

Putting together my new rifle and need to see which ammo it likes best. Really only need probably 10-20 rounds of each.

Will pay cash or can trade 9mm or 223/556 ammo. Depending on what ammo you have will depend on how much ammo I'll trade

Ammos I'm looking for:

Lapua center-x
Lapua Midas +
Wold Match Target
SK Rifle Match
SK Long Range Match
SK Standard

Thanks a bunch.

I've got most of what you are looking for Kyle. Give me a shout.

Shout initiated!

I’ll have to look at my stash. Have a couple

I can help you with a couple of those

I got some SK Longrange you can use Kyle. Most of the other stuff I had got shot up. If they are out of stock at midway, sign in and click “notify me”. When you get the email from them, then get on it quick and place an order. I tried it last week for some 140 gr Hornady ELD Match and got an email yesterday. Placed my order and it shipped today.

I’m on a couple. It’s back ordered until January of 2021. That’s cutting it a little close to get ready for the league in February

???

PRS is the precision rifle series. They have opened up a new division for rimfire this year and we have joined them. Now if you want you can join PRS rimfire and you can accrue points for a regional championship and possibly make it into the national championship. You do not have to join PRS to shoot in our league. Our league will function much the same as it did last year, three bench stages three prone and three to four positional . We will still have payouts and year end prizes if the sponsors are willing. Our league will still be very beginner friendly but yet still challenging for the experience to shooters .

Thanks SR said it better than I could.

I didn't want anybody freaking out. Chris . L O L

We will still be shooting Cold bore this year in the beginning of a match and black death at the end of the match if anyone wants to participate.

And 2beez lol

Not freaking out a bit, Sr.....if I had a few years back I’d be getting a lot more serious practice in while hoping to shoot a regional or other. As it is I’ll be concentrating on just moving up in the ranks a bit.

Yea, I was slightly miffed when I saw that.

We appreciate the clarification Sr and thank you.

Ok guys the schedule has been made. We will be doing a total of 7 matches this year for the league. We will be using the best overall 5 matches for everyone. This means if you come to all 7 and you shoot like chit on the 4th match you have a chance to drop that match and score better next time. Or, if you're just a badass that means you only have to come to 5 matches and shoot lights out. With that said I'll be at all 7 matches LOL. I encourage all shooters to come out to every match, if not just for the camaraderie.

If you guys have not been reading the past couple of pages and are up to date. NTxR is now part of the PRS Rimfire Division.

Like last year you must shoot at least 3 matches to qualify for the prize table. So far this year we don't know yet who will be our sponsors, but we'll still be paying out 50% to the top 3 shooters at each match and at the finale match (7th match) we'll be paying out the overall accumulated money that we hold back over the year.

Below is the link to the NTxR League website with all the dates and registration links.

https://ntxrleague.com/

Also I got a ton of questions last year about where I got all my shirts, hats, and stickers with the League Logo. Just for you guys I spent all day building a new website and getting a few shirts and the stickers done. Since these are all one off items they are on the expensive side. I'm making no money off this and after spending several hours building the website today, I'm actually in the hole by a large margin LOL. Not worried about that, would just like to promote the league, so if you want some swag head on over to the link below. Many more items to come so keep an eye on that site too.

Oh Snap!!!

Done went bolt gun you boys is in trouble!!

Nice!

Very nice Kyle. Be a proper person and do not complain when the 10/22s out shoot you like you know who did... Just saying

Good thing about that is if they do, I’ll just switch back to 10/22. I know mine will shoot lights out.

Top 10 were all bolt guns besides me last year.

I’m pretty sure we’ll be ok since your scope is on backwards.

Very nice setup Kyle!

Thank you sir! Hope it shoots.

We’re now on the map for the PRS central region.

You'll need to find someone that can figure that out for you...

nice rifle

Lol I got this just gotta find which ammo it likes which Tim came through in that front. Then the real uphill battle is finding enough to shoot and practice with for the year.

I'm getting hyped for the first shoot. I should probably assemble my rifle. I got a box of parts sitting in the corner of the closet.

Haha, yea you should probably do that.

I thought you were going to get a different rifle for this year.

This year for the first three matches range day will be the Saturday before the match at 2:00 in the afternoon till 5:30. Range day Fee will be $15 per adult shooter. Shooters under 16 years of age will be considered a youth shooter and they will be free with an adult paid shooter. Also our match fee this year will be $35 per match. I may do an extra range day in early February but I have not picked a time yet.

I'm hard headed and running the AR this year. I found someone that makes precision barrels for .22AR setups. I'm excited to see how it shoots and how well I can shoot it. Haha.

Sounds good to me buddy, I hope she will be a tack driver for you.

Just saw the schedule. I should be able to actually make a few matches this year!!!

tikka?

Looking forward to giving this a try! Been out of the competition game for way too long. Now on the hunt for a rifle and ammo!

Good luck on the rifle and ammo, hope to see you out there.

I have never seen, or done anything like this, but it sounds like a heck of a lot of fun!!

Is there room for spectators at something like this? Wouldn't mind watching before I made a fool out myself by entering.

You can for sure just watch, but as someone who has done very little this far, I recommend you bring an scoped 22lr rifle (any 22lr rifle) and also give it a try during the range day (usually day before each event).

I am planning on attending one of the range/practice days as well and my son said he is interested in trying it out as well

I shot in the first .22 match that Kyle did. I used an old Glenfield model 25 with a cheap redfield scope. It did have an moa turret, but I can't say how accurate the turret was. I ended up finishing first in the bottom third of the group. LOL. Slap a good scope on any old .22 and it will get you there for your first match. It matters not if you finish first or DAL. I guarantee that if you come watch, and don't shoot, you will regret it.

+1

The people at the event are friendly, will answer questions, will even loan you equipment (bag, support, etc.) to help you shoot, happy to give you tips, etc.. Great environment to learn and have fun

Hey guys, got a rifle, scope, ammo and am registered/paid for my first match on 2/21. Is there anything else I should consider bringing? My rifle has a bipod and I have the weibad range cube. Do I need an additional bag like the fortune cookie or game changer? Also, can anyone advise on a basic idea of what size targets to expect beyond 100 yards.

The game changer is a very versatile bag to have it will help you in a variety of stages. Past 100 yards Target sizes will vary from three to 12 inchs depending upon the distance and position you are shooting from. There is a t y l rack at 150 yd that will start at 6 in and go all the way down to 2 in.

I am thinking about having a 22 rimfire range day on Sunday the 31st at 2:00 if I do not have to work. I will know Saturday morning whether I do or not and will post it then.just trying to give everybody a little heads up in case it works. if anyone is interested in coming can you please let me know ahead of time.

Thanks SR

Yes for me.

Yes for me

I guess Chris , Josh and I are the only three that feel they need to practice everybody else must be ready to rock and roll .

I just now saw this. If I'd have seen it earlier, i would have. made plans to be there.

Yes, I need practice....but more just friggin’ stir crazy from lack of shooting.

I’m still waiting on my chassis to get here, my gun is in pieces right now. Was supposed to be here yesterday but the shipping changed for delivery on Monday or else I’d come.

Hey Kyle, weren’t you recently boasting about how well it shot....with the Victor stock? LOL

Stock shouldn’t matter much. It’s more the barrel and ammo combo that shoots so well. It shot well before I had the Titan stock it’ll shoot well after it. I’m just a fan of KRG and they finally dropped their 10/22 bravo.

I might make it out Sr. Supposed to be windy tomorrow and I could use practice with wind holds.

Where can I find the match schedule (the easier matches please)
and sign up location
Thanks

On our website. Click on the logo in my signature.

Which weapon did you decide to run with

I have been waiting a month now for a new barrel to show up. I realized I was shipped the wrong one after assembling everything and saw it wasn't going to work. I think I'll be cutting it close for the first match.

Let me know how those 3/16" silhouettes hold up

I have already been shooting the hell out of them and they are doing great. I am using them at 200, 250 and 275 and there is not a mark on them , all I'm doing is knocking the paint off. Everyone is going to love shooting at them this year. Thank you again for your hard work.

Sr, I ordered an International Barrel for the T1X, 22" with a schnuble end. Barrel should be here in a few weeks. Probably will add some weight to the KRG Bravo. Also going to glass bed the 10/22 in the Fajan stock and see how it runs. I still need to pillar bed the CZ452 and then we'll see which one I choose. Likely will start off with the 10/22 as I've got to work on speed for these stages.

WTF! Only 4 shooters registered for 2/21 so far?

There will be plenty more. Got at least 4 RO’s that haven’t registered yet. People are procrastinators including myself lol.

Lets get registered up guys. If you register after 2/17 there is a $10 late fee. Just an FYI.
