Gonna do a 1 day match as a trial/break from failing at PRS.

Whats the proper gear to bring beyond a rifle and 100 rounds. I piss everyone of IRL too so I have no friends to ask.

Required?
Nice to have?

I don't believe NRL Hunter is "easier" than PRS. In fact, the opposite. You do know you have to 1. find the target, 2. range the target, then 3. engage the target. I had to do one similar course of fire for one stage in an early NRL22 match. It was very difficult and we were given the range of the targets. If you ever found them.

That's just me being my positive self. I just wanted to try something new and need to know what to prepare. If i don't come in last, i'll be shocked.

range finding binos with ballistics, tripod, bipod, and a bag

maybe an armboard

pretty much everything else is optional

Pretty much this ^^^

You can get by with binos and a separate range finder if that's all you have. You'll want some way to record dope for the stages with 2 or 4 targets. And a tripod that you can shoot off of if necessary (usually at least a stage or two). And a shooting bag & bipod, obviously.

A 1-day Hunter Games match is a great way to give it a try. Let the MD know it's your first go, and you may be able to get some help from RO's if things get frustrating. I've often found the actual shooting to be a little easier than PRS (the targets are generally larger, though not always), but blind stages and everything you have to do to get to the trigger pulling can definitely make for a challenge.

I shot my first NRL Hunter match just a few weeks ago.

Second this. I typically shoot PRS matches and shot my first NRL Hunter match a few weeks ago.

I used normal, non-rangefinding binos, a 7x handheld rangefinder and hard dope. It definitely slowed me down a bit and I lost points on a couple stages the first day. However I still did well and had a ton of fun.

I’ve shot 7 of these and narrowed my gear down to what I actually use
Rifle -tall bipod helps
Good tripod
Range finding binos
Game changer style bag
Armboard and markers
That’s all I use 99% of stages a pump pillow is nice once in a while when the game changer isn’t tall enough for a rear bag
