There are several factors in winning, equipment, training, physical fitness and of course the mental game. You can buy the 1st one, the 2nd and 3rd are up to you and your commitment, the 4th however is sometimes out of our control. In two decades of competitive shooting I can say the mental game has probably cost more shooters a match than anything. I remember Jerry Barnhart and how people thought he was so hard to talk to because during a match he just shut everyone off. He wasn't being a jerk, he was keeping his mental focus on the stage and ignored everything and everyone else, and he won. You had a great video here showing how much movement and position building are crucial. If you have the time go out and practice these stages before making any changes. You may be surprised and save yourself from making changes that only confuse the situation. Thanks for another great video!
I don't compete but had the same problem with feeding issues. If you look at the 25 round mags there is a small lip that reduces the play in the mag well, I replicated that lip with epoxy and sanded to fit snug while dropping out smoothly. I did this all while checking extracting ammo looking for scrapes. I did this on three different 10/22's and just color coded them for each rifle. This worked for me, and great videos.
I was not ever able to get my 10/22 to shoot anywhere near as well as I could shoot. I switched over to a Tikka T1X and stayed in the Production class. I feel it was the best decision for me. This game is hard without not knowing if its you or the gun. We must have guns and dop we can trust without question. God Bless you and your Family
The bottom position wasn’t so bad… for the 10/22… a custom chamber with some chamfering at the entry point could eliminate the scraping of the driving band…thanks for watching…
What optic are you running on it? Chamber the rounds then extract it to see if the bullets are getting damaged when feeding from the mag….. check all 10rds like that
@@treefeller22lr18 Athlon Ares BTR Gen 2 4.5x27x50… I do notice that the front driving band of each round has scrape on the round… almost like the feed ramp from the magazine isn’t quite high enough to feed into the chamber without scraping at the 6 o’clock position of the chamber..it seems the barrel needs some type of chamfering… good call!!!
I run a 10/22 for NRL22.. It does great. My only issue is me. I run a Stock Receiver with a KIDD20" heavy, Kidd Trigger Kit, and a Boyd's At-one Stock. I have found my best ammo for it is SK Standard Plus. Wish I lived closer to you. We could do some Testing and comparisons.
@@socalplinker I have only this rifle for NRL22. But Like you I want to prove that at 10/22 can be used to compete at the same level as the more popular Hi end rifles. Before I upgrade to a Hi end rifle I want to make sure that I am ready. I feel that I need to make sure my over all skill level is enough to justify the cost of a major upgrade. I have been going to as many matches as I can a month have been avg 2 a month. My only issue is that other than club matches I have to drive over 2 hours away for other matches. But with them I am finding my self landing in the middle of the pack in Open Class. And looking at the NRL22 standings I am at like rank 117ish area out of all Open shooters so I think I am getting there. I will probably keep shooting it for another season at least to see where I am at.

So true… thanks for watching…
LUV UR VIDEOS TY SIR
Thanks for watching…
Thank You Sir! The positions low on the tank trap seemed tough. On the 10/22, I don't know much. Possibly a custom chamber. 👍🇺🇸 #22aday #pfot

Nice work mate. Definitely challenging changing platform especially on a COF like this one

Agree… thanks for watching…

@@damingrail3655 that is awesome that you get to compete that much… it will definitely improve your shooting attending that many matches..
