Precision Rifle Series is here!!! And It Looks to be BIG
Well, PRS has migrated, and knowing what's going on behind the scenes with sponsors this is going to be huge!! No dedicated web page yet, but it won't be far, info is Facebook based so far (link below)
I know one of the bigger sponsors approached both the NRAA & QRA to work with them to find a format that would be suited to our ranges but it didn't get support, it has now been picked up by the SSAA & IMO will capture the audience we should have been trying to capture in Fclass.
So, what does everyone think about it coming to Aus with the backing it's got?
I know I will be migrating over before long, I'd like to attend the inaugural event too, but time might be tight.

Re: Precision Rifle Series is here!!! And It Looks to be BIG
Jasmay have you found out which classes they are running...a lot of stuff online is about using AR type platforms/tac rifles...I guess I am wondering if a FTR rig 'fits'?
Looks interesting as another form of shooting long distances. Makes me think back to IPSC: fun comps between traditional target shooting.
Thanks

Re: Precision Rifle Series is here!!! And It Looks to be BIG
Will be interesting to see some more info when it comes out. I would argue that this would probably capture a different market to the shooters who are interested in F Class but there is room for both surely?
From experience, the shooters who turn up to the precision service rifle matches being run in NSW, the ACT and VIC often aren't interested in F class (although many participate in both). However their interest in target shooting should be noted by the NRAA and state/territory associations and taken advantage of.
This new PRS will be a very different kettle of fish and should be successful. Assuming it will be shot on steel targets, this may however limit the ranges they can shoot on.
Cheers,
Michael

Re: Precision Rifle Series is here!!! And It Looks to be BIG
Good news for me is my FTR rig is mag fed 308 so which class would I be able to shoot in do you reckon jasmay? And do you think our fclass rifles might be disadvantaged with our longish barrels?
PS thanks for bringing this to my attention as I haven't seen anything from ssaa yet.

A friend of mine who owns Impact Dynamics has been running an event in SA called the Precision Rifle Invitational Series and has gotten quite a good following. http://impactdynamics.com.au/2017-id-pr ... le-series/

I for one will be keen to shoot it for sure. Its the sort of shooting I was doing before I started F-Class back in 2012. The NRAA needs to look to the future and get on board as it would've got a lot of members for them.

Kelbys sponsers shooters and matches in the US PRS. And the top shooters in the US run full custom rigs with Defiance, Keblys, Surgeon, GAP, Stiller, etc actions and the same barrels we all run. The difference is the stock style and the style of optics.

Re: Precision Rifle Series is here!!! And It Looks to be BIG
There are conservatively 80M firearms owners in the USA compared to 1M here.
Thus the sponsorship available over there.
However I suspect on the tail of the results from the Australian FO Team Gold in 2013 the current Australian F Class Teams to Canada are being supported by sponsorship we only dreamed about in 2013!
However in comparison the U.S. teams may be paying for primers?
Just about everything else fully sponsored.
