NRL22
Summary
NRL22 is now a sanctioned match at FTRPA, one of just two clubs within 100 miles of Fairless Hills as of its 2021 debut. It is a .22 LR, scoped rifle-only precision rimfire match with varying size steel targets placed from 25 yards to 100 yards. It is shot from several different positions and barricades such as barrels, ladders, saw horses, buckets, and more. This precision rifle sport is a fun new activity that offers 5 stages that change monthly to challenge shooters of every type.
Match Facts

- This match is shot under cover at the 100/200 yard and 50 yard ranges using the distances in each month’s course of fire. Because of the covered line, this match, when scheduled, will be held rain or shine unless there is a more serious need for cancellation.
- The match can be shot for fun by anyone. However, shooters may also opt to join NRL22 in order to qualify for their prizes and earn points to compete in national competitions.
