landed in the point of my life where i can invest "somewhat heavily" both time & money into pursuing a passion
i want to push into the ranks of PRS/NRL22 as a top contender, gotta register for both obviously
shooting background: USMC STA plt '02-'06, PRS/NRL22 19-now, prs centerfire 22/23 so shooting fundamentals and positions aren't new to me tho execution of such...well...
I now have access to a "local" range (1hr away) but can only shoot steel twice a month (scheduled practice/match days), i was asked to be a match director for this clubs up and coming rimfire PRS style shooting. so i have access to the range whenever and the Cof i can create, as well as use entry fee money from matches to re-invest into the club for props/targets.
i use my favorite range (3 hours away) about once a month/every other month (gunline shooting- MS) great place. they have steel and amazing people!
my current setup
vudoo gen2 24" MTU
McMillian A4 stock (clone-ish of my service rifle)
Harris bipod *swivel w/ pod-lock
9mm local made suppressor (looks mostly i have a .22 can as well but the 9mm one just looks right)![Cool :cool: :cool:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
gen3 razor mil/mil
i was running a foundation genesis but felt that it was to thick for me around the grip and fore end. and also was having issues with mindset (centerfire matches mostly), hince why i went to the McMillian. if every target was a bad guy it seemed to make sense in my head. However as i make this transition of time/money investment into practice and practical application of rising in the sport i feel that some of my kit needs to be refined, with .22 i don't feel the i'm that far off with mindset hurdles that happens with centerfire dunno why (TBI/ PTSD its something real that happens and don't understand it) i'm looking for help.
bought dryfire lens and the screen (yes a dot on the wall would have worked) so starting to implement that daily into my routine, normal live fire shooting schedule is 2nd Sat/month is open practice steel targets as far out as i want to go, 4th Sun/month Local match (mostly NRL22 CoF plus whatever i want to add, glory of being a MD i guess) and any other matches from neighboring clubs within about a 4 hour radius currently (south Louisiana)
it may be as simple as balancing my rig and putting an arca rail on it. tho might need to ditch it all and start over with full customizable chassis/barrel length the whole 9 yards.
things i feel should look into:
*suppressor vs tuner vs slick
*ammo - run CX and SK rifle match ( lot testing or off the shelf - see above tuner?)
*barrel length (seen the YT video cutting down a 4ft .22 barrel)
*chassis/stock options
*professional coaching
In a true assessment of my shooting skills (.22 only - i shit the bed centerfire) i would put myself mid/upper mid. lots of top 10, few smaller matches 1st place and a handful of 2nd/3rds. Strong base but tons of room to improve
I'm sure this is gonna get flames and all that normal internet crap but at the same time posting this in a way starts my accountability on this journey.
Are you a higher tier shooter / shooting coach / shooting industry personality ? would love to hear from you and maybe steal some of your knowledge post here or feel free to DM me.
Stupid comments need not apply
