Not to be disrespectful but to me NRL22 in MUCH MUCH more difficult to shoot in - !!!!! - and to the point of being silly to do on some stages.
I don't know how many times I've zero'd a KYL stage or won a match by getting the smallest spinner and getting all the points. That last shot will win you the match or put you down the roster quite a bit.

I'm weird because I HATE trying to hit a target that is half the size of my wobble zone is like what often happens in NRL22. This is the opposite of FT because except for offhand and Kneeling my wobble zone is 1/4 the size of the KZ.

The super heavy and "balanced" Precision 22rf's are so superior to regular rifles for NRL22 it has to be experienced to be believed!

I'm new to FT, haven't even shot a match yet, but I think I'm qualified to offer a perspective here. I'm permanently disabled, bilateral below knee amputee. I chose his sport because I think I can actually compete in it. I will be competiting in the hunter division, due to my chair, but don't see it as a handicap. Would I like to shoot FT division or even WFTF yes, but I know I can't get into certain positions. Now if there is any need for an adaptive class it should apply to the other classes, not hunter. In a way I'm kinda surprised there is no adaptive WFTF as it is competed in internationally. Do our European brothers and sisters against handicapable competitors joining in the fun? Like anything that accommodates individuals with handicaps, it's truly a small field, and we want to be considered capable to compete against the able bodied as much as physically possible. Sorry for the rant, but the topic hit me at home.

A bilateral below knee amputation field target participant gets ZERO grumbles from me about any and all allowances to make it easier for them to shoot the match in whatever class they feel they'd like to participate in.

There's an incredibly huge difference between actual handicaps and claimed handicaps.

I agree and wasn't trying to stir, nor try to show that those with actual handicaps want to be as included as possible. Thanks for having the same attitude.

I'm glad to have you join in this somewhat ongoing discussion. You bring a viewpoint that isn't represented by any of the previous participants in this OR the previous parallel post.
