Hello, fellow guns nutz :)

I've signed up for an upcoming Rimfire Precision Match (RPM), mainly because I like shooting :)
Though as the event time approaches, I was hoping that people can share their experience and hopefully some links to good articles or videos.

As always, any and all advices are appreciated.

I did sign up for the practice, but it's the day before the event, so I guess it would make sense to do some research in advance.
 
We’ve got a rimfire precision match on May 26th….hunter style. Steel animal targets setup in the bush/brush at different distances, you need to bino to find the target (and if bino’s have a range finder that cuts done on wasted time), then use range finder and setup to shoot the different targets from a few different spots. Check out BC PRL

Challenging and loads of fun.

Centerfire is on Saturday the 25th.

For the first match, don't worry about score, don't worry about the clock. 3 good hits while setting up properly, and running out of time, is better than a score of zero and rushing through with time left on the clock.

Pick up an armband or another means of righting down and having available, stage order, and dope for the given targets. Even as a spotter, this will come in handy. Don't go to complicated but list important details. I don't normally put a distance, but what my dope is.
Ex: Standing .7, 1.1, 2.3
Tire .7, 1.1, 2.3
Prone 2.2, 2.3, 3.0, 3.0

Some stages have a lot of movement, one target, some have little movement, lots of targets, others are a mix.

Try out and be familiar with your equipment before you go out. Know how tall you typically need your bipod, where to set it on your arca rail for prone vs a 50 gallon drum, etc.

Make sure the people in your squad know you are new to the matches and they will help you out. Do t get to caught up in equipment. An overwhelming majority of guys are willing to help out and let you try some of their equipment such as bags and what not. I would say the biggest thing is coming in with the right attitude, being attentive, and helpful. You will find a lot of great people.

As for video's, look up Womfat, and do a search for "Starting in NRL" and NRL22.
