NRL22

NRL22 is a precision rimfire competition that lets you practice the same positional skills you'd use in centerfire matches, but at a fraction of the cost. You're shooting steel targets at varying distances with a .22 LR rifle, which means low recoil, cheap ammo, and zero flinch—perfect for dialing in your fundamentals.

The match runs multiple stages from different positions. You get scored on hits, so it's straightforward: good position and trigger control show up on the steel. Greene County Fish & Game hosts these regularly, and it's a legitimate way to work on precision without breaking the bank or your shoulder.
