I just shot my 2nd PRS match yesterday, first one was in December where it rained hard all day. I sucked but overall was pretty happy with it being my first match and the weather. I was optimistic I'd improve yesterday from my firs match with good weather other than the Texas heat and some switching winds. I wasn't expecting to do well by any means but thought I'd do better than my first match. I sucked in every possible way.
Could't find a target on one stage though I had no issue finding it before the stage started and literally knew where it was. It was low and by some fairly high grass but for some stupid reason I couldn't see it for the longest time. Then I had a magazine that I couldn't feed out of so that caused a lot of issues on a stage. Got the sequence of small and larger targets wrong on one stage. But, overall I just sucked and couldn't hit anything. I'd miss right then left, couldn't get the wind right all day. Missed the large target on a KYL rack and somehow hit the tiny one.
I'm 57 so don't care too much about what others think though I don't like sucking, especially as bad as I did yesterday. I have shot a decent amount in my life but PRS is a whole different animal for me and longer distances are fairly new also at under two years. I need to take a class because for someone brand new to the sport I am kinda clueless as to proper positions for different type stages. I would have liked a little help on my wind calls and was kinda surprised with little to no help but that's fine also. It wasn't like I had a chance of placing anywhere besides towards the bottom. I will say it was a humbling and frustrating experience. I have great equipment, I just suck evidently.
Head down to Rifles Only in Kingsville and take a class with Jacob. Will help you a lot.

He told ABC's Rachel Scott that "it's possible we could get involved" - however he emphasized that the US military is "not at this moment involved" in the conflict. He pivoted to calling for peaceful resolution, saying the US would be "open" to Russian President Vladimir Putin being a mediator in. "He is ready. He called me about it. We had a long talk about it," Trump said.
Waiting for Israel first crowd of Unregistered foreign agents to make a push soon , things are definitely not working out as planned.
