“On behalf of the National Rifle League, I am pleased to be alongside Jared Flanagan in capping off the 2017 NRL season. Representing Sin City Precision in the 2017 NRL Championships, presented by Caracal USA, is an honor for us,” Tyler Frehner, Director of Match Operations, NRL. “The inaugural season has been awesome and exceeded my expectations in many ways. The community of shooters, range officers, and sponsors that have showed their support and created a sense of strong community, has been amazing. It has renewed my passion for the sport and made me realize the humanity of the community around me. The 2017 Championship match makes a huge mark on the precision rifle industry. It signifies that the sport is growing and will continue to. Expansion of the sport has been one of our goals and I feel that it is happening with the NRL firmly at the helm.”
Jared Flanagan will be the co-match director for the 2017 NRL Championships. Jared has had 4+ years of experience in stage designing, range officiating, and competing in precision rifle matches. He says that competitors should expect to be challenged and have a lot of fun.
There will be an emphasis on fundamentals such as building solid shooting platforms from various props and targets. Tentative COF appears to be 21 stages, and squading will be in the order of qualifiers.
Competitor invitations for the NRL Championships were sent in November, and qualifying competitors must register by December 19th to reserve a spot, otherwise, the next highest qualified shooter will be invited to register.
