On today’s episode, Ruth speaks with Jared Howell and Boyd “The Hair” Linder about their experience participating in competition, what it’s like to step into match director shoes, and more!
Jared and Boyd have been avid competitors, friends, and most recently co-match directors in the precision rifle world. Located in Utah, they have a plethora of ranges and matches at their disposal. Driving cross-country together for matches, the two have spent many hours discussing match design and recently had an opportunity to host their very own NRL22X match, Utah’s Rimfire Revival.
The NRL22 Presented by Bushnell is a division of the National Rifle League which is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to the growth and education of precision rifle shooting. The NRL22 was created to provide a way for competitors who are looking to get into the sport of precision rifle the opportunity to do so with 22lr or air rifles without having to invest a lot of money in gear or travel. The NRL22 program is designed so that any facility with a 100 yard range can participate in local competitions to qualify for a National Championship.
Hear from Jared and Boyd on their competitive journeys, how to get started with air rifle, match design, and more, on the NRL22 Podcast!
