Training Drills for NRL Hunter and Hunting

[NickyD]

I’m preparing to do my first NRL Hunter match (skills division) this year. I’ve done a NRL hunter prep day so I have an idea of what to expect. I want to improve my skills and be dialed in before the match to maximize my learning opportunities while there.


I typically get out to my gun club 1-2 times a month. I usually only have a single goal when I go to the range so I get bored and don’t shoot as many rounds as I should. I’m hoping adding more drills and structure to my day will help me stay longer and shoot more.


I’d like to know what people do for training on a typical day. Specific drill ideas would be great. I’ll be focusing on training with my tripod but also have access to various positional training setups at my range.

Build and break drills at home. Use chairs, tables, ladders, etc. learn how to build a position at different heights and settle the wobble.

Build position, reduce wobble, dry fire once or twice and repeat.

Learn how to use your body, pack, and tripod for stabilization.

Also helps to start the stage with a simulated, find target and range off the top of your tripod. It helps to have a plate/bag on your tripod to glass and shoot off of.

Practice starting with everything in your pack and rifle in your hand. Set rifle down, set up tripod, glass/range, build position and shoot.

Also, mark heights on tripod legs for seated, kneeling, and standing.
