PRECISION RIMFIRE
NRL22 & PRS Rimfire Matches at CSA
Competitive shooting with a .22 LR — the rifle you probably already own.
NRL22 and PRS Rimfire bring the excitement of precision rifle competition to an affordable, accessible format. You shoot steel targets from different positions and barricades, across multiple timed stages, at distances from 25 to 300 yards. It's a real test of accuracy and composure — and one of the most welcoming communities in the shooting sports.
Never shot a match before? That's exactly who these formats are built for.
