So I've been dabbling in NRL22 lately and I have had another one of my dumb ideas. In NRL22, they have a monthly course of fire that all of the clubs shoot, and each club usually adds some extra stages as well. In each months course of fire, they include instructions for Adaptive Class for shooters that are not as mobile as they used to be. For example, a stage might have you shooting back and forth from a tripod and prone. For Adaptive class, you would use a 55 gallon drum instead of going prone.
A club where I have been shooting NRL22 takes this a step further and lets shooter shoot the course of fire from benches. No moving, just sitting at the bench shooting the targets.
So my brilliant idea was to add an un-official FT class. Shooters could shoot the course of fire off of a seat with sticks, just like long range FT. And any stage with a lot of standing could be shot standing off of sticks.
It would be more challenging than long range FT because the NRL22 targets are generally smaller (range is 40 to 100 yards, target sizes are 1/4" to 3") and you have to shoot 10-12 rounds in 2 minutes (oops, we just lost Ron), but it might be a good way to get more use from your long range air guns. And the NRL22 rules allow slugs up to .25 caliber, pellets only at .30 caliber.
Is this something you, as a long range FT shooter, would be interested in trying? Assuming a match was fairly close and price was $20 or less? Throw a reply down here to let me know what you think. Especially if you are local to me, as this may go from theoretical to practical in the next couple of months. If you aren't sure if you are local to me, you aren't. Trust me, the people that are local to me know it all too well.

P.S. I live in KY and consider 100 miles local to me .
