Did you guys have to finish in a top percentage based on airgun division scores during the year? If you would briefly explain I'd appreciate it.

I'm trying to find the actual rules now... But briefly I believe, for the airgun division it's top 3 or 5 from each Region get invites to Nationals.
Now... I was the only airgun in the Great Lakes region. For which my squad at the Regional finale took endless pleasure in reminding me to pick up my "participation trophy".
So I felt pretty good when I came in 9th overall out of 46 shooters
I'm hoping to be in the top 50 at Nationals, but that might be a bit ambitious.

Yeah I'm well familiar with those PT's since I shoot in Unlimited for FT which isn't AAFTA recognized as a division. But hey as long as I'm having fun.....
But congrats on that great shooting and we'll be hoping the best for you at the nationals!
Oh and please post of photo of your rifle and equipment for this match.

Same in central division ! Seems like you start talking 2-400 yard targets and everyone shy's away ? If we can't get more shooters involved I can't see them continuing our class ! I would hate for it to die due to lack of interest. Heck I'm old ,fat, and on a bum knee after regional's but I am up here to have fun!!I'm trying to find the actual rules now...

Unfortunately I had to leave before the awards (a buddy grabbed mine), but I don't think they announce placement like that anyway, it's usually by division. I didn't know until the full match scores were posted.

I've got a buddy who shoots air in NRL22 but I couldn't get him to shoot the PRS matches this year. It's definitely a time commitment. Maybe next year. I agree about the participation. The big air sponsors don't really care about NRL or PRS at the moment.
I'll try to grab / post some pics after the match is all over.

Did I say top 50? Percent, definitely meant top 50 percent. There are some crazy good shooters here.
I'm pretty pleased with how day 1 went. 12 stages today, 9 tomorrow. The moon dust struggle is real folks. Rifle rain covers in the brilliant sun. It was that kind of day.

Thanks Jim! It was great shooting with you in our squad. Lots of respect sticking it out the whole match. It was not easy terrain even on two good knees!
I'll post some pictures of the rifle and trophies when I get home tomorrow. I managed 91st overall, which I'm really proud of Top 100 baby!
The talent here this weekend was insane. I scored 186 out of 235. Some of the names I got within 10 hits of are pretty wild. The winner dropped 12 all weekend, over 21 stages. Amazing shooters.

I'm sure they'll be posting pictures from the match in a few days so I'll add those when available. For now the obligatory rifle and trophy pic.

Wow great shooting Eric, congrats! You outscored a high percentage of rimfire shooters which is quite a feat.
What was the farthest target you hit?

I could pull out the match book... actually gimme a sec while I do that...
There were 2 stages that had targets at 294. I went maybe 50% on those. I'd say the majority of targets for the whole match were between 115 and 185 yds.
One of the bigger challenges was the temp change through the day... from ~40 degrees in the morning, up to ~75 in the afternoon.

PRS match distances and stage setup can be whatever the MD decides to do. Nrl22 has 5 stages a month that are required nationally at local nrl22 clubs. Those are at about 100yd max distance. Now it's up to the MD to add stages and he/she can do them how they wish. There are differences in what calibers in the air rifle division can use slugs and can't. Could be some others. I usually shoot 22lr in the matches. Here in OK PRS is dominate. I think there is one nrl22 match here a month. Usually 3 or more a month of prs

Thanks for the info.
What would you say was the average size in MOA of the farther targets?
