Welcome to the NorCal Practical Precision Rifle Club (NCPPRC). Our mission is to provide events where the serious practical/tactical precision rifle shooter can test their skills and abilities in a safe and controlled environment. These competitions will give precision rifle shooters an arena to...ncpprc.com
I would contact them and ask. I can’t answer that question for them.Cool thanks. Do you know if it's ok to go and just watch?
Norcal -club match is fast, smaller targets but generally closer range.Is there any sort of PRS matches or groups currently in northern California? (Bay Area ish)? Search didn't yield anything relevant.
Absolutely- PM me and we can exchange numbers, usually we can help spin someone up too..For someone thats looking to get into it but never even been to a match is is generally ok to just watch?

I probably met you yesterday. I'm the newb who had to swap out his scope rings on sight in 15 mins before the match because I couldn't get to zero. Never did quite get it dailed in. Glorious day none the less. I look forward to the next one. I do have a buddy who is intrested and would like to tag along next time if that's ok. He doesn't have a bolt gun yet.Yes watching can be a good way to talk to shooters and ask questions. See the kind of equipment used, etc... I run the Avenal Long Range Tactical match and it is a great match to get started....Has a prone division or Obstacle (PRS/NRL Style).

I'm glad I joined you guys for the walk. Looks like I took a good picture. Thanks for the 3 rounds you let me send down range Jim, made my day and broke my future bank account. See you guys next match hopefully.B-
Hey nice meeting you yesterday! I have to hand it to you, you showed up 25 minutes before the briefing, tried to zero, then needed to swap a second set of rings and rezero, had 1 chronograph reading and had to use an offset to create your dope cards. Regroup, pack up and hike out..
1. I have never seen anyone get so much done so fast.
2. I have never seen anyone keep their head together and still go on to shooting a match and NOT quit along the way.
HATS OFF TO YOU!!!!!!!!!!
Jim
BTW I posted this in the match resource thread.
We had phenomenal weather and once again @Swoodhouse19 put on a match that was well organized and had a prone division with TONS of time for those either less experienced or looking for a soft entry into the match type shooting and a fair and super well laid out positional COF with a faster cadence.
Had a few new guys from the Hide as well as new shooters to the match. In the squad I was lucky enough to shoot with, every guy but me, on the right, had/has the kinda jobs that people make movies about... Some real, real bad-assery/man card stuff in the squad. Great shooting with these guys and a fun time poking fun at each other. All that said we had another new female shooter in the match help balance out some of the testosterone..
Really, If you're new and want to shoot long range it worth the drive to try one of these matches.. You might just surprise yourself how well you do and how supportive the guys are.

Hey,
Just found out we have a facebook page https://www.facebook.com/AvenalNRL22/?tn-str=k*F
I am not an active facebooker but here it is if your interested.
Looks like a fun place to shoot, just how far is this from Reno?
Well, I'm shooting the Washoe match next weekend.. assuming it doesn't get stormed out again. It is a drive maybe 6 hours??
It is off highway 5 near Harris Ranch

I will be at the NorNev match this weekend, if that is the one your referring to.
i doubt we are going to shoot this weekend especially if we have rain the next 3 days like they are calling for...someone was out at the range last weekend and jimmy would not let them go to the target shed.
Is that @christopher.dow ? That is one bad ass invisible gun.. hope he isn't shooting invisible bullets..
Thanks for the heads up! This the same is for the NRL22? I sent emails to both MDs just yesterday, but have not heard back.
If it is canceled again, I guess I'll reload. I made a beer induced mistake last time and ran the wrong neck bushing. I loaded a shit ton of rounds super quickly and never noticed until I started shooting. I already shot several matches with it and have maybe enough left for maybe 2 club level and one 2 day matches.. Works ok on sub 1k targets but I skipped a stage on a match that had all the targets between 1100 and 1400ish. Truth be told, I was mashing the trigger and shooing like shit already so it was an easy decision. But my ES is about 100fps...![]()
I running 123s with miles of jump and the super light neck tension is making for inconsistent burn. I think if I was jamming or had short jump, it might not be an issue.
47guy & Rangemaster, is there an easier way to get on a list or something, rather than try to follow and chase the details. You guys have several webpages, some I think are defunct. Some clubs do Facebook, we just started but I find the issue is the messages get pushed down and are hard to look up if your not watching Facebook all the time.
BTW can you "like" or Share our Facebook pace and we'll do the same the MD mentioned it should help people find them better.. https://www.facebook.com/AvenalNRL22/?tn-str=k*F
I resemble that remark
We could always do a mini match at my spot....I’ve got more props.
I was just out there in Sparks last weekend.
Will do! I will be out there in July possibly soonerYou ever make it out on a Saturday or Sunday and want to shoot hit me up I go out just about every weekend

You got the tire prop built, looks nice. If we don‘t shoot this weekend because of mud, maybe we meet at your place.
What a bunch of malarkey, what happened in the last few years out there when we shot in the rain and snow?Sounds like that’s what’s going to happen....county said if it rains it’s a no go.
Yeah we can set up out here and get some practice in...I’m taking off Friday so I can get the BR development done and get some dopes with the BRX.

I second those comments about Swoodhouse19 and @Diver160651. Just picked up a 6.5 700 PSR. I learned a lot from these two in 5 hours of impromptu lessons, enough to jump in and start my first build and next time bring a rifle with me. I could not be more in debtYou did really well, given what you were dealing with. I, too, was impressed at how quickly you changed out the scope rings.
Also, @Diver160651 deserves some serious props. For those reading along, here’s what happened: @2aBaCa showed up and needed to zero his new rifle (first bolt). @Diver160651 helped him, but when @Swoodhouse19 told them they had to stop because it was time for us to get started, there was still an offset between POA/POI. @Diver160651 the gets out his phone and works out the DOPE for the determined offset for every target in the match booklet.
I ended up shooting with @2aBaCa, and he did damned well given that situation and it was his first match!
This is the kind of treatment new shooters can expect at the Avenal match. @Swoodhouse19 is a stand-up dude and runs a great match. @Diver160651 pitches in to support new shooters, and there are a bunch of other great guys who will help anyone there.
@M113A3 i hope you’ll join us down there!
Count me in!We could always do a mini match at my spot....I’ve got more props.
Awesome write up, and I am pumped to go do it!
May I am up in Alaska with Frank in the LR class. The April date is Easter weekend, if all the money on this hobby hasn't caused the divorce blowing off Easter might!
