2026 NRL Hunter Thread

I would also like more one day matches near me. But for now im just happy to see more matches on east coast!
My group has started brainstorming where/how we could run/host a small field style match like nrlh

I have, there's just a lack of 1 day matches near me compared to the 2 day matches (really 2.5 day commitment with check in). Don't get me wrong, they're awesome I just wish there were more of them near me.

I'm very interested to see these other "Find-Range-Engage" leagues or outlaw matches start up. I understand its a huge commitment to set up a range for these type of matches compared to PRS so I understand why they aren't as prevalent.

Fair comment. Where are you at in CO? If you’re on the front range there are like 5 one day matches a year if you’re willing to drive to Cameo.

I had a conversation with the MD at the one day match and he said it was a break even at $60/shooter by the time he paid the landowner, paid NRL commission, bought lunch for everyone, paid for targets and gas to set them up, and paid his helpers. I think it takes a very special venue, landowner, and MD to make a sustainable one day NRLH match and is part of the reason it isn’t more common.

Cameo is a bit of a haul for a one day from the front range too though. I went over for the winter games match and at 7 stages I am not sure it was worth the drive time. (Amazing shooting complex though!)

From my understanding it's just a handicap system. So the 8lb magnum goes into it with a 7 point lead on the 17lb 6mm. Might be a lot to figure out for the people checking shooters in, but should be very simple by the time scores are being entered.

That seems right:

I’ve been debating signing up for the 5/23 shoot out there and can’t make up my mind either. Definitely further than I’d like to drive for a 1 day shoot.

I also haven’t been able to convince myself to head up to Cheyenne for a 1 day PRS match to get my ass kicked with a 12# NRL gun.

I have been meaning to do that myself!

Giblet and I shot the one day at Cameo last summer with a couple of our other buddies.

It's a really cool venue and backdrop with the huge cliff faces. The wind was just ripping by the time we finished though.

I've also been thinking about trying some of the local prs but haven't committed yet.

I think this is the test match for the PRS field match
