National Rifle League 22

  • YMM Yuma Valley Precision Rifle NRL22 was formed to provide a safe enjoyable venue to promote the sport of tactical precision rifle shooting using a 22LR rifle. YMM’s NRL 22 matches are aligned with the National Rifle League’s “NRL22” a 22LR precision rifle competition. The overall format is simple, every month a national course of fire will be shot, competitors can either shoot for local fame, or join NRL22 and have their scores compared to an entire nation’s worth of rifle people. 

    The NRL course of fire will consist of two prone stages, one positional stage, one barricade stage and one wild card stage. Stage targets are a mixture of paper and steel with steel target sizes predominantly around two minutes of angle. NRL22 stages range from 25 yards to 100 yards, and local supplemental stages may go out as far as 150 yards.

    Classes

    • Open – Any 22LR rifle and optic.
    • Ladies – Any 22LR rifle and optic.
    • Young Guns (ages 8-18) – Any 22LR rifle and optic. Young guns must be able to manipulate the rifle safely on their own, but voice coaching is absolutely encouraged. Youth shooters MUST have a parent/guardian present and a responsible adult present while participating in a match.
    • Base Class (budget minded shooter) – and 22LR rifle with a MSRP of $350 or less and optics with a MSRP of $700 or less. Some modifications are allowed in this class.

    The courses of fire are simple, but not easy. Some key points:

    • All stages are 100 yards or less
    • Most stages are 10 rounds each
    • The first course of fire seems quite bolt action friendly
    • Most stages are steel, or a simple paper
    • Requires a .22LR rifle that is accurate out to 100 yards, and that can hold 5-10 rounds at a time
    • 50 rounds of reliable ammunition
    • Eye and Ear Protection
