    PRS Talk 2019 PRS Series Update

    It’s funny to read about all the criticism here. Yet I moved from USPSA, IDPA, and 3-Gun because I felt the Long range shooting community was better and more welcoming. Yes, I wear a jersey but find someone that can say that I have been rude or have been a douchebag to. I also enjoy meeting up...

    Overkill. I want my rifle to cool down between stages.

    I believe so too but it’s a step in the right direction.

    PRS Talk If you DQ yourself, how do you claim to have won? Asking for a friend

    Guys/Gals, the match was last weekend. It has been addressed as stated above. Lessons learned and solutions are being put in place in 2019. Also, note that most ROs are new shooter and are trying to understand the sport. Others disciplines have the luxury to have enough ROs volunteer and they...

    PRS Talk If you DQ yourself, how do you claim to have won? Asking for a friend

    I was staying with both ROs the entire weekend and was there when they provided the MD the details of the situation. They do not know the shooter personally so they are not covering up anything for anyone. Doubt anyone else is either and instead, the decision was made with the information provided.

    PRS Talk If you DQ yourself, how do you claim to have won? Asking for a friend

    Got you but I thought the shooter was DQ’d that night. Yet I saw him shooting the next day. As a matter of fact, I saw him post on FB that he was DQ’d. Anyway, the match is over and there were mistakes. No one got hurt fortunately and yes, this should have been handled better. Scott is...

    Don’t blame the ROs . I know them personally, they brought it up, and provided the details to the MD. Whatever decision was made after that, did not come from the ROs. They did exactly what they were told, which was to let the MD handle any issues.

    Advice for Leofoto tripod base or head

    It weighs about 6.8 lbs with the head. I have carried it and does add weight but I carried it in my Eberlestock just fine. I would reconsider for a match that requires a lot of hiking though.

    Advice for Leofoto tripod base or head

    I am using the RRS-TA3 leveling base with my 364C. I had to swap out the RRS bowl and install the bowl that was included with the tripod, so that it locks in properly. No issues at all.

    Shoot at 300 yds to qualify before shooting 600 yds.

    Member Link Up shooting at manatee gun range, Florida

    I haven’t seen a range where the staff isn’t armed. However, I have only been here just over a year and I missed pretty much everything Manatee used to do. I do wish they had the 1K yd range open. Plus I wish they had berms at different distances to verify loads. Going to Manatee to just shoot...

    Manners stock questions

    They may be able to cut a small section of the cheek piece. I would contact them and have all the work done at the same time.

    Leofoto 364c and RRS leveling head

    I have the 364c and TA-3 leveling head. You will have to swap out the bowl on the TA-3 with the one that is supplied with the 364C. That will allow it to lock in place.

    6XC Loads

    Yes and it is better than Norma in my opinion as I have not gotten any donuts at 8 times fired. You are correct as Alpha recommends a 6XC II chamber which has a .4714 web area and .275 neck. The 6XC II has more room basically. I had my old barrel spun up with a reamer that had only a .4695...

    Altair in FLA Raided ?

    The Training Grounds (Formerly Altair) is now open. You can find them on Facebook and we have been shooting the South Florida PRS Club Series matches there. The range goes out to 1300 yds at ground level but you can shoot further from the tower. The mirage sucks though and will be hard to spot...
