NRL22 Tactical Precision Rimfire League
Introduction to the League
SRGC has been hosting NRL22 matches since 2019 and was the very first NRL22-sanctioned club in Northern California! Many of our regular participants also compete in high-end tactical precision match series such as NRL22X, PRS22, NRL, and PRS.
Our NRL22 league is intended to be a fun, yet competitive league for individuals of any and all experience levels. No prior precision rifle shooting experience is required. Both club members and non-members are welcome to join us. In order to participate, shooters must pre-qualify with a Match Director in order to ensure safety and consistency at our matches.
We shoot the monthly Course of Fire (COF) published by NRL22, plus 1 or more local club stages. Although NRL22 membership is not required to shoot in our league, joining NRL22 is highly encouraged. For more information on NRL22, please see: https://nrl22.com/
