I now compete in various PRS and NRL 22 Rimfire and centerfire matches all around the country.

What is the number one piece of advice you would share with a new shooter?
Don’t worry about the timer, have fun and ask lots of questions. Just about anyone at these matches would be willing to give you some pointers or lend you gear and show you the most effective way to use that gear.

Good data calculator and the Wiebad tater tot
