[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 3081220, member: 10291"] I got into PRS/NRL22 when it was first gaining popularity back in the 2016 time frame. My buddy and I had shot various long range precision shooting venues for several years(ie.vintage sniper, egg shoots, Silhouette, etc.), At the time, well over 80% of the PRS match participants were new to the game and the required equipment was very much in its infancy. Within five years, the sport, equipment, and volume of shooters and cost to participate advanced radically. Both of us dove in hook, line, and sinker and within five years spent several thousands of dollars, in equipment, ammo, barrels, and shooting practice. We were fortunate to have a 1000 yard range/club with an hours drive of our home. If you are dead serious about diving in and going the distance into this sport..BE PREPARED! Most Clubs/Shoots have either provisions at a match to accommodate new shooters by matching them up with another shooter, a designated beginners squad at the match, or actually have a periodic “Beginners Orientation Program. I absolutely don’t want to discourage you about jumping into this great sport, but my recommendation would be to study the countless U-Tube videos on the topic that discuss the bare minimum of equipment and knowledge, required to get started, and consider either first, attending a match, or getting into one of the aforementioned starters programs. Some photos from my earlier days shooting(5-10 years ago) . Now in my 70’s, my matches are much fewer and farther between….Those front edge rooftop stages(photo below) get harder as you get on in your years….
