  • Episode 36: Dominic Thompson, NRL22 Coordinator & Competitor

    In this episode, I sit down with the NRL22 Coordinator, Dominic Thompson, to talk all about how to get into NRL22, how to shoot a competition, what gun and gear you need, and more!

    NRL22 is a fun way to get started in precision rifle shooting to first see if you enjoy shooting precision rifle shooting and is a much lower barrier to entry for ranges that don't have the yardage to shoot PRS. NRL22 is welcoming of all ages, has set props, and is set up so that you all clubs shoot the same course of fire each month (plus some bonus stages by match directors).

    Dominic is a great resource to learn more about this fun sport as well as NRL22X competitions. Learn more about nrl22.org
