I think you're missing the point. I'm actually grateful they are doing their own thing instead of complaining about PRS on the internet. How many threads can you find on snipers hide where people bash on PRS but aren't willing to run a match? Some people are just pointing out some of the critiques that PRS has, which NRL hunter also has. Nothing will ever be perfect, just shoot and complain less.
It's suppose to be blind stages, your not suppose to watch him??? Nah jk. Who was it and which location did he win the match at?
I thought you said you watched him? I’m just trying to take what you say and have a grown conversation, but if I’m hurting your feelings I’ll stop.
Its obvious what he is doing. Cries like a little bitch when anyone has something critical to say of PRS and has spent this entire thread bitching about NRL hunter despite never having shot one or plans to. Did nothing but talk shit about NRL and border wars.
I apologize - you are right. I should not have called you names, totally childish. And I should have worded my post better to indicate I was at a match and I was aware of the top shooter winning and he handheld his binos. We were talking at the awards ceremony about hunting and he made the comment that he has been hunting and looking for game so long that he did not need a tripod. I thought that was incredible. I always use a tripod to glass when hunting.
Easy fix: stage RO picks the chrono ammo from your ammo box.
It's a perfectly valid way to prevent people from cheating with underpowered ammo. It's been used for decades. This is a huge problem with all these new sports. They think they have to re-invent every fucking wheel.
Whose problem is that? Personal responsibility has to come into play somewhere.
I would travel to shoot one of these if my hunting rifle met parameters but it dosnt. I just can’t push a 140 fast enough in 20” with a suppressor. Not building another single purpose rifle for maybe an event a year. Can you still shoot for no points if you don’t make power factor?
You'll have to do a match with slug guns or .350 legend???
i just got home from the First hunter match of the season in arizona. Of a field of almost 90 people I’d say I talked to more than half of them and the only complaint I heard was that the stage 7 and 9 marker board looked too similar and so the wrong target was shot. A simple direct question to the RO will solve that confusion.
I signed up for the Washita Showdown in Oklahoma and entered in the skills, not because I can't make power factor or weight, but because I am shooting the match for the fun of it. I have shot a lot of local one day matches, and I have RO'd some two day matches, but this will be my first two day match. The Heartland match in Nebraska is 4-1/2 hrs from me, but it is two weeks after the Oklahoma match.
@LV Precision, you’re obviously just trolling at this point. You won’t answer direct questions about shooting NRL Hunter matches which means you likely haven’t. You’ve made your vague, useless point that NRL Hunter gear is too expensive. Great. Now move along and post your crappy memes elsewhere.
As for NRL Hunter being more practical than PRS…it absolutely is. Not necessarily because it’s less of a gear race, but because the rifles and gear being used are more applicable to hunting and tactical/military scenarios.
How are the rifles more practical? Weight. PRS is now a 20# or heavier benchrest gun. Frank and Scott recognized it as becoming a problem in that it’s not practical to have such heavy rifles in most real world scenarios. Just like most guys aren’t EDC’ing their open USPSA race guns.
A sub 16 lb rifle is more similar to a military sniper rifle, a sub 12 lb one is perfect for western hunters. Binos, range finder and tripod are all things most Western big game hunters use for glassing, ranging and engaging real animals to put meat in the freezer. Same for tactical precision Rifleman.
The skills employed in spotting, ranging and shooting targets under pressure in NRL Hunter also translate very well to Hunting/Military scenarios. Also problem solving and building a position is very applicable to both.
I’ll be excited to see where these NRL one matches go. That said; I’m disappointed to see their regular 2 day matches going away as NRL has more stuff in the west near me. Hopefully border wars or similar continues on.
The Hunter series is what I’ll be focusing on and it has already made me better prepared as a hunter. Won’t hurt if Russia and China keep it up either…
I think I saw that border wars may continue as “cash only” matches. So maybe they won’t fall under the NRL umbrella but may continue on their own?
