I got some estimates of sizes from a friend that has been there but..

What is the exact, or at least average size, of steel for each distance?

How about the KYL rack, smallest and largest size?

In case someone knows - when are the 2020 COF's going to be posted?

Advice - what mistakes did you make last year and how would you do things differently this year?

How about the movers, were you able to break the shot on the edge of the steel or had to lead it a bit?

Let's get a discussion going on these subjects. 

Thanks 
 
Most important is being dialed precisely for the range of each target. It's a game of vertical precision. Most targets are big enough to hit easily if your your hold over/under is correct.

Second is time pressure. Magazines are a must, don't forget them; most of the stages can't be completed single loading.

Yes you need to lead the movers. How much you will need to determine when you see them in action.

Thanks Slayer.

I'll have my dope down at all distances as close to perfectly as I can so I'll be good in this way. This is one thing I have a lot of experience with.

That's what I want to work on is my speed but that's dependent on the size of the steel of course. More precision = more time. GTK they are plenty big enough.

We had a Caldwell mover at 50Y in our last NRL22 match, the lead was .2 mil off the edge of the steel but we couldn't see exactly where on the steel we hit?? It'd be nice if RMAC stated the mover speed in MPH so we could plug that into our apps.

Bringing extra mags.

Having the elevation dialed in is crucial, as is the time limit. Don’t forget the wind, even with a .30 you could be holding off as much as six inches at 60 yards... The only really small targets were the 25M KYL and the last two in the 75 yard KYL. They only use 7 not 8 on that one so the 3/4 inch one is missing. I think the smallest 75 yard is 1-1/4 inch. The swinging plastic bottles were tough at 60 yards because of the wind and when you hit the first one it can move the other four. And you can’t wait for the swinging to stop. Best to hit high near the bottle neck to minimize swinging. ;)

How tall and wide would you estimate the bottles are? Good advice hitting them high.

Let's nail down approximate averages. At 100Y what is the smallest size and largest size, this distance is really what I'm wondering most about because of wind? 75Y smallest is 1.25" but largest is? 50Y and in it's becoming less of a concern, I think a bunch of us are familiar already within 50Y because of FT, BR, and this is kinda normal airgun shooting ranges.

Friends and I have steel from 6" all the way down to 1/4" where we shoot most often, including a KYL rack.

I think Justin mentioned the COF for 2020 will be posted about a month before the match. For practice we’ve been going off of the 2019 COF and will adjust once the 2020 version is posted.

That's a good plan for now.

They didn't list the size of the steel in the 2019 COF's. The NRL does for their 22rf courses so it's easier for me to practice by knowing where on the COF I need to speed up and when I need to slow down to make hits.
