Hi my name is Bill. I am a fellow airgunner and competitive shooter. I am also NRL22 match director for our local club matches (Bedford County NRL22 Series) I enjoy airguns and have been competing with them for 2 years. Before that I shot a lot of rimfire. I started out in air rifle as a way to get my nephew involved in shooting. He didn't like the loud noise of most guns but was very mechanically inclined and inquisitive about how the guns worked so I hoped it would be a way to get him involved. Unfortunately the Good Lord had other plans for him and took him home early. But I kept into it as a way to honor him. I started out with a Gauntlet 2. Next was an Air Venturi Avenger. Then I purchased a couple of FX Panthera's that are more suitable for how we shoot. And finally I purchased a Skout Epoch that I'm trying to make more compatible for NRL22 competition. I enjoy tinkering and working with new shooters. Last year we had our first air rifle only nrl22 style match. We had a good turn out and got to introduce our style of competing to everyone. I am hoping to have another one again this year if my work schedule permits. Thanks for having a site where we can all come together. I look forward to meeting you in my travels.

NRL22 Series is a competitive shooting league that you shoot at steel targets ranging in size from 1/4" to 3" at distances from 35 yards to 100 yards to fit on most club ranges from multiple props and objects . The also have NRL22X matches that you can shoot out to 300+ yards. They have rimfire and air rifle divisions. It's alot of fun and something different.

Welcome to a really fun forum with a bunch of great folks!
So sorry to hear about the loss of your nephew.
I sent you a private message, but I’m not sure if you can do that yet without the required ten posts.
I have an idea that you might like about a way to honor your nephew.
Feel free to email me at this email.

These fine folks will definitely help you enter the bottomless rabbit hole of airgunning!😂

Welcome, Bill. My condolences about your nephew.
I'm in Cumberland county pa. That's only about 1.5 hours from Bedford. Your matches sound like a good time. Have you ever considered promoting your airgun matches at an airgun show? We have one here coming up on May 3rd. It's called the Central pa airgun show. A local club promoted their field shoots at the show last year. The website is Centralpaairgunshow.com.
