    So, I went training instead of shooting.

    But, but... "TRAINING is boring. SHOOTING makes me feel like I'm a badass, and I don't need to TRAIN" 🤪 Training feels remedial at first, but pays dividends downrange on the clock. Build, shoot, break, repeat.

    One Tripod To Rule Them All

    That fire made Day 2 exciting, didn't it? Shoot and scoot.

    Advanced Marksmanship The "Lightbulb" Moment With Respect To Home Range Data

    FWIW, I've always written my stage cards at matches to be read bottom-up rather than top-down. Mainly because most stages are written in some form of near-to-far order (not always, of course), and bottom-up just makes more sense to me when on the clock, as it more closely mimics what I see...

    Belt rigs, battle belts, etc.

    This is what I use for matches. Two mag pouches on the left, Kestrel holster on the right. Thinking about putting a dump pouch for brass at 6:00. https://www.highspeedgear.com/31ovi-31ovm

    Reviewed this thread week before last, a couple days before shooting a Team UKD .22 match. There is gold in here.

    Can you compete/have precision and not reload?

    I was at a one-day match and ran out of ammo (duh). A friend gave me some Eagle Eye (I think) ammo to finish the match. It shot just as tight as my handloads that shot in the .2-.4 range. I would not hesitate to shoot good quality factory ammo in a match if I were just starting out. Upgrade to...

    PRS Talk Practice/training stuffs you found especially useful

    Agreed. Spend the time at the house, no one around, take all the time you want to figure out what works best for you to build a solid position. Then work on deconstructing it so you can make it easily repeatable. Then go to the range at 100 yards and see how it holds up to recoil and fine-tune...

    Trainer rifle mimicking comp/hunt rifle.

    I built a matching Vudoo .22 to my 6GT centerfire rig. Same chassis, trigger, scope. Then I shot 10,000 rounds out of the 22 and discovered I almost like shooting 22's more than centerfire. I can shoot 250 rounds of 22 and not freak out about using 10% of my barrel life on a practice day. I...

    Moving from Schmedium to Pint Sized Game Changer with Git Lite fill as do everything

    I have a WC Railchanger Pint Size GC and a Sticky Schmedium GC. I find I'm using the Pint more than the Schmedium.

    What kind of rear support do people use when shoot for best group size?

    I also have an MDT ACC with a bag rider. When doing load development, I use the same gear I would use on the clock, a Game Changer, and I do it prone with a bipod. I want the gun to behave the same way during load development that it's going to act when in a match.

    PRS Talk What bag to use??

    Taking some time to work on HOW to get yourself into a more stable position at the house, without the pressure of the clock, is extremely helpful. Take some time to try different things to see what works best for you. Try changing small things, one at a time, to see how they affect your wobble...

    PRS Talk What bag to use??

    I have an AG Pint Sized Railchanger and an AG Sticky Schmedium. They each have their place. For me, my preference is the Pint Sized for most stages. when I need the Railchanger option I have it available. I use the Sticky Schmedium on tank traps or anything else needing a little more surface...

    Kraft Data Driven Training: Try This

    I'm late to the party, but have to start somewhere. Today I decided to give this a try. I did a bit of practice with each of the positions first, trying some different things on shoulder pressure and support hand position and pressure. After figuring out what combination worked best for each...

    Practicing beyond 100 yards

    OP, this is a great suggestion. Invest some time on building one position at a time and getting one good shot off. Work on figuring out body position for best recoil management so you can spot your own impacts and make corrections based on what you see. If you have 50 rounds for practice, build...

    Anyone film their matches?

    I film myself when dry fire practicing, working on building positions and transitioning to another position, just to help me identify where I'm wasting movements or can find more efficient ways of movement from one position to another and eliminating wasted movements. Sometimes I'd like to get...
