    PRS Limiting MDs to Only 4 Matches Per Year?

    Just a quick clarification, the spreadsheet data includes both PRS members and non-PRS members, anyone who shot a 2 day Pro-Series match. It's based on a cut paste of the results which includes everyone even if they aren't a member.

    PRS Limiting MDs to Only 4 Matches Per Year?

    It's good to keep in mind that that the decisions that come out of the PRS organization are largely influenced and decided by all the match directors who vote on these sort of things.

    Barricade matches and “Possible” scores

    New PRS skills stage introduced at the Finale this year specifically to address that. Two targets instead of one, two distances, far target much smaller than the near target, 5 positions instead of 4. You still have to move quickly but you needed to be accurate. Tiebreak winners this year...

    Barricade matches and “Possible” scores

    Time is not tracked in PRS or 22 matches from stage to stage, only impacts. There is usually one stage designated as a tiebreak stage, where both time and impacts are tracked. For the tiebreak stage points matter first, then time is considered second. So a slow clean is better than a super fast...

    PRS Limiting MDs to Only 4 Matches Per Year?

    Could possibly be a regional decision, perhaps limited space on the calendar and more MD's who want to run matches. I suspect that would be something a regional director would handle.

    PRS Limiting MDs to Only 4 Matches Per Year?

    Any source for this? I checked with a local MD and they are planning more than 4 matches this year. Our new regional director runs a monthly club match at his range, and many other of our MD's run more than 4 per year. It's less than a month after the finale and we've already had 3 PRS regional...

    PRS rule on moving wrong on stage

    I've never seen rule set 1 enforced at any PRS match that I've been to, unless the course of fire specifically said Hit to Move on. I've seen it handled like rule set 2 many, many times. Rule set 1 seems wrong to me. What would be next? If you shoot at the wrong target are they going to make...

    What to buy next?

    Looks good to me. You'll probably see an eventual preference for the slightly larger game changer bags (schmedium or +1) but no reason to go buy something now. Odds and ends to think about adding to the kit: Ammo management ie some sort of case/wallet/bag for loaded ammo and also one for...

    Competing vs family life with small kids

    Congrats man! If you make it a family affair it can be a real blessing. Hope to see you out in Idaho next year at the finale. My daughter whooped me (and a lot of other great shooters) this past weekend at the finale in Kansas. Stings a bit to get beat, but definitely a proud dad moment. :)

    Competing vs family life with small kids

    I didn't really get into PRS until our kids were a bit older, the youngest was around 6 when I started. My wife was super gracious to let me compete but I was home for almost everything else so the family still got to see a lot of me. Without my wife's support I'd never have been able to do...

    Who else reloads besides unknown munitions?

    Reach out to Matt with Bootleg Bullet Company on Facebook. Good dude and he's local to me. They do everything from custom loads for PRS matches to precision hunting ammo and bulk ammo too. I know they load for 6.5PRC, they had some posted just the other day.

    lets see your foundation stock

    For your described purposes I wouldn't sweat the balance issue. For PRS it's nice to have a gun that sits super balanced on a gamechanger and that wants to track straighter with recoil rather than pivoting muzzle upward - again on a gamechanger shooting positional on a barricade so you can spot...

    Looking for Training near Tampa in December

    Not sure if there's any training being offered, but reach out to the guys at OTM Tactical and Exodus Rifles to see what they suggest. They are in Jacksonville which is about 3 hours away from Tampa. Joe Walls is a great PRS shooter and maybe they know of something in the area or could put...

    PRS Talk Bipod height for Twin Peaks Range

    You've got Oklahoma guys like Austin Orgain still running Harris 6-9's so I think you should be fine. If for some reason the match director gets creative and puts in a stage that needs more bipod I bet one of your squad mates will loan you one.

    Factory Ammo for PRS - SD & ES Considered

    I get the range limitation and not being able to test, that makes sense. I think my point is that just because something is an SD of 2 doesn't mean it's going to print the smallest waterline, so I don't really chase SD numbers. If it's single digit that's good enough. Shooting BR cases sorta...

    Factory Ammo for PRS - SD & ES Considered

    I might think less about SD/ES and more about downrange performance. If it can hold a vertical waterline of around 6" tall at 1k yards it would be more than good enough. Alternatively, have you given thought to custom ammo? One of the guys local here in the northwest (Bootleg Bullets) is...

    Is the Giraud trimmer still the king of trimmers?

    I'm a big fan of Giraud especially for high volume 6mm cases like Dasher/BRA. You see very little case growth so assuming you trim every time it's more like a quick chamfer debur than any significant length trim. I'm loading for two shooters and working with well over 1000 cases at a time so...

    Shmedium game changer, heavy vs regular?

    Almost everyone runs the sand fill (heavy). I can't say that I've ever even seen a schmedium with the medium plastic bead fill. The sand filled schmedium will come from Armageddon gear with a bit too much sand in it. You'll want to let some out to make it a bit more pliable. The right amount...

    Skid Plates: What happened to them

    Not that I'm aware of. I'd recommend a GrayOps mini plate pro with the attached flat bag, that's what I use now. The bag clips onto the plate securely and isn't going to fall off the rifle or the plate.

    How to Shoot PRS

    No rule that I'm aware of here out West and no one is going to get a DQ for it, but in our safety briefs we'll talk about it and we also coach new shooters not to be in the practice of sky loading. Scary to watch a new shooter throw their rifle on a bag on the prop, close the bolt with the...
