Now, will it do anything for the sport?
Allegheny had HUGE drama in the day because of the self scoring. It broke friendships in 2007.
there was a monster-cheating scandal which is why it’s quiet now, lots of the original shooters left.
The local MD's are the folks growing the sport IMO.
That's the absolute truth.
Pretty sure most of these guys are sponsored and the sponsors were happy to pay their entry fees.
That's the kinda insight I'm looking forward to. Hopefully the show will be done right and we will see some of the strategy these guys are trying to use to win the $$$
not true whatsoever! I sent the $1,000 PayPal as did most everyone that was there.
First Congrats on Winning Match!
If you say that sponsors didn't cover entry fees directly or indirectly then I stand corrected and I apologize.
The first match I shot was 2 years ago or so and I think we had 35 shooters? Now that same monthly club match can easily pull 100+ shooters, most of whom couldn't pick out any of the top 10 shooter in PRS/NRL from a lineup. The local MD's are the folks growing the sport IMO.
Neat vid... but real question.
The first AG CUP/PRS match is coming up and there are 20ish shooters who have paid $250 to register for the series and $250 extra for the match. According to the rules that means 5 people will get paid out, from $468->2656 5th to 1st.
A quick inspection of those who have signed up and it appears that over half the people signed up for this have never had a top-10 finish in a match, let alone a top-5 finish. Conversely, there are a handful of shooters who have -many- top 5 finishes and wins.
Why are the majority of these people giving their money away? I must be missing something...
PRS is certainly a participation sport, rather than a spectators sport, but I'm not asking for my $1.41 (AUS) back.
I understand for the "cool" kids on the block, it is all the rage to be negative when someone has a go.....
Though everybody is of course entitled to their opinion, mine is they had a good go for a first attempt and will likely improve.

About as exciting as watching Golf
I find it very similar to Golf in that it's a lot more fun to participate and severely boring to spectate. JMO.
I'm sure this is going to ruffle some feathers, but golfing is a much more technical and strategic sport then PRS. It's much easier to appreciate how a golfer attacks the golf course then it is to watch a shooter put his rifle with gamer plate on a barricade bag on a prop and slap the trigger and get hits on a ~2 MOA target. Then watch the next shooter do the exact same thing.
I'm not saying this to bash PRS, as I enjoy shooting it. But there's not much comparison between the two.
