Before first NRL match: I'm the best After first NR match: I literally know nothing and am a total failure A year after first NRL match: I am now broke.
That must be an extremely humbling match for anyone that doesn't live and breath that style of shooting. I absolutely appreciate it. Thanks for the video
I felt the same way after my first PRS match. Like, hey, I'm pretty good at shooting and know my way around firearms like the back of my hand! Getting humbled is such a great catalyst for growth. Now I'm working on getting better at unusual shooting positions and learning how to read wind more accurately to get more first-shot hits. Welcome to the new addiction!
Great video man! One other thing that I cannot recommend enough to fellow shooters. Go RO a match! Whether PRS or NRL Hunter… go RO. I RO’d and NRL Hunter and learned more way more than I did shooting one. Watching folks cycle through your stage and you clearly see what works and what clearly doesn’t.
thanks for the honesty, I had the same humbling experience when I started in PRS. Once you lose the ego and then want to learn then is when it gets fun!!!
FYI in regards to the having your bipod down, you can drop the legs when you run up but you’re supposed to have the legs stowed when your time starts. But also shootin skills so it doesn’t matter. NRL Hunter is an outrageously humbling experience. I came from being a pretty mid pack PRS shooting and took a second and first place at local NRL Hunter Games matches at Cossa in Oregon. Got DESTROYED at my first two day match. Worst points I’ve ever put on the board in any match I’ve ever shot. I absolutely love the honest take on it! Good taking that production trophy yesterday at farm out btw, I thought you looked familiar.
My first PRS match I was in the top 10. My 2nd PRS match I was in 38th 😂. My first NRL hunter I was in skills and did pretty decent. My second NRL hunter in heavy div I did horribly. It’s all just dependent on the match directors making it as easy or hard as they want, and the conditions during the match. Give yourself 10 or so more chances I bet you’d be pretty surprised once you get a system down how good you’ll do. Either way it’s all about just having fun and meeting cool people. I’m super stoked to shoot teams eventually because I think it’s way more fun to have a partner because it’s a shared experience
You seem like the kind of guy who will practice a lot, train hard, and avenge this one. It does sound like you learned a lot from this experience. 👍 - Jason/Freedom Fighter Until Death/Vermont, FRA (‘FRA’, meaning “The Failed Republic Of America”)

Personal shooting development, love it
Doing hard things makes you a hard man. Well done, mate.
I REALLY appreciate your feedback, humility, and insight. Very helpful.
Great review of your experience.

Great stuff, super thoughtful! I'll be curious to get your take on the difference between Skills Division and the competitive Divisions.
Those nut kickers are such good training
My first PRS match with basically a stock Bergara b14 HMR wound up 44/48. So yeah I expected as much going in.
What grip do you have on your fix? It looks waaayy more comfortable than the Magpul one.
Isn’t there an NRL production class where you can use a factory built 6mm caliber?
6CM should meet power factor and length reqs.
I'm scared from dropping a mag and trying to make a low probability shot, but for other reasons.
