    Open the doors...

    Honestly I just wish NRL and PRS would stop pretending like they're different from one another and just work together. So many people say they prefer one or the other, but realistically they're both the same thing. They have the same kind of stages, they have incredibly similar rules, and they...

    PRS Talk Slings

    Biathlon shooters do not use slings, except to carry their rifles. They all use Olympic position for the standing portion of the course of fire. High power shooters also use the Olympic position for all of their standing shots. Here is 10x National Champion for match rifles Carl Bernosky...

    PRS Talk Slings

    Shooting while standing a sling is objectively worse than using the Olympic position, at least when you're not snap-shooting like in a hunting scenario. For hunting a sling is beneficial while standing because you may need to aim and shoot within seconds. The Olympic position may take slightly...

    PRS Talk Slings

    Honestly I've never slung up for a stage in a PRS match, and I've only been to a single match where they included a stage where slinging up would really benefit you (it was the classic 4-Position prone, sitting, kneeling, standing with bipods banned, but you were allowed to use shooting bags...

    PRS Talk Which low profile Flat bag

    I like my Tiny Rear Bag from Bison Tactical. It's 6" x 3" x 1" with a little loop in the corner (for clipping to a cord, pack, or bungee) and a strap across the long side you can slip around your hand for a firm hold when shooting prone. I keep it attached to my buttstock with a little bungee...

    PRS Talk Positional Bags

    I like my Traust Gamer bag, it's a big pillow with a strap so you can sling it over your shoulder. Lets you easily slide it in front to hug or support yourself, or swing it back behind you and out of the way. It's also super light, the whole thing weighs barely more than 1lb which is great for a...

    What brand/type of Shooting bags for PRS ?

    I'm personally a fan of the Tactical Udder from Bison Tactical, just because it's got more side-to-side rolling stability than a Wiebad Fortune Cookie or a Armageddon Gear Gamechanger. That said, the disadvantage of the Udder compared to those bags is that it's bigger. Between those 3 it really...

    Anyone scaling down their number of matches this year?

    The way I see it is that these types of matches have a choice between 3 different things they can focus on. They can go the SAC route and heavily emphasize physical fitness with lots of hiking and land navigation. They can also pattern themselves after Steel Safari (like NRL Hunter has) and...

    Rifle Scopes Zero Compromise or Tanget. I have looked at all the review still don't know.

    I don't mind spotting hits in the reticle, at least for me it hasn't been noticeably worse than using other tree-style reticles. I also tend to shoot in areas where spotting misses is easier because of very dusty soils, however. The 2 tenths of elevation is something that caught me out at the...

    PRS Talk 6mm Bullet Choices For PRS

    There are some days where I miss that Impact still, it just plain worked! For BR-based cartridges in my experience both the 105's and 109's have worked great. 115's are hit or miss, but it's hard to wrong with either of the other two options.

    Rifle Scopes Zero Compromise or Tanget. I have looked at all the review still don't know.

    The good news is on recent scopes (I bought mine new last fall, manufactured sometime between July and September) Tangent Theta has definitely fixed the stiff mag/parallax rings. The bad news is that it took seemingly years of feedback for them to implement that change on all new scopes (though...

    Savage Impulse

    Turns out the Axis rifles at least shoot decently, even if they still feel/operate like a cheap rifle. The Remington 783's that tried to compete with Savage shot worse than any other rifle's I've tried, including cheap AR's. I'm excited to check these out when they finally hit shelves in...

    How often do you zero your PRS/long range rifles?

    Honestly with quality equipment these days I don't know how much it matters in the end to completely disassemble and reassemble a rifle like that. I did that once when fate (and FedEx) intervened and I didn't have a new rifle ready for a match after having already disassembled the old rifle. Put...

    115 Dtacs with nose ring

    DTACs can be great on deer, or they can be terrible - it depends on the lot and/or specific bullet you're shooting. The current nose-ring and closed-nose DTACs I would not recommend for hunting. They aren't really comparable to even a pointed hollow point, simply because the nose is completely...

    Savage Impulse

    If Savage doesn't have that barrel as one of their offerings, it looks like they're keeping the same kind of barrel-nut prefits as their other rifles meaning you could probably order exactly the barrel you wanted from Shilen, Criterion, or others.

    How often do you zero your PRS/long range rifles?

    I always double-check my zero if it's possible for me to do so - you spend 3 rounds to ensure peace of mind for the next 60-70 you'll be shooting that day. It's also particularly handy if you make a record of your zero shift and the current atmospherics (density altitude). In Colorado we can...

    Bump vs Full Length Sizing

    Congratulations, you just proved exactly how little you know about rifle chambering and the effects of it on reloading. You're busy trying to argue about freebore and throat angle in the middle of a discussion on resizing your brass, despite the fact freebore and throating is completely...

    Bump vs Full Length Sizing

    Apparently the idea of a standardized chamber specification for a particular cartridge is too new and space age of an idea for some people to comprehend. Certainly there couldn't be an organization like SAAMI that keeps a set of standards for the reamers of a particular cartridge that are...
