I remember watching a video a few years ago where Chris showed up and shot with a borrowed rifle and he was brand new! Well done, hard work paying off! Congratulations and well done!!
It varies, not one match is the same. Everything changes, that's why people like it, because it's practical shooting where you have to use your environment and props around you. Best thing to do is to show up to a local match, almost every country shoots PRS matches now, so it should be easy to find one regardless where you live.
@@stewartsas sounds like a lot of fun....I mean for the purpose of the video though it would be nice to state the distance and such as I imagine you would know after the fact the actual distances, target size, etc. Regardless it's always great to see people enjoying the shooting sports! 👍
@@NBKarmwrestling just pointing out that having an awesome video with no data points makes it somewhat ambiguous for the audience. Wasn't meant to be harsh, I meant it to be constructive criticism.....that's why I said what I did in my original comment. :-)
Being prior NRL sure like just to inter with my ultralight Match M1A. Do have a scope mount but no optics to drop on it for an event like this. If I can see I should make hits with open sights. But the biggest problem is being a Disabled Vet many of the positions be a be rough. Regardless sending 7.62 NATO M118 and 168 match down range would be great trying.
@@daltonperkes7202 I’m somewhat of a regular, so I’m sure you will. Keep in mind there probably won’t be another open registration match until December. October is the regional series finally. November is the TPRC which is a national 2 day match, which you could shoot, it just could be overwhelming for a first match haha
What caliber do they shoot for competitions like this and what grain bullets? I’m curious as to how the recoil is so low! I am just now looking into getting into long range shooting so if this is a dumb question please spare me.
Primarily 6mm or 6.5mm. Both Creedmoor cartridges are popular, as well as more niche chamberings like 6mm Dasher. The 6mm family gives some of the best balance of low recoil with high velocity, with long/high BC projectiles that are more efficient at cheating the wind. IIIRC, 6mm is usually 108grain, 6.5 varies between 120-147gr
thats a good option man, I know a Spanish national PRS champion who actually uses a .22 LR for training and then he takes the 6.5 Creedmoor for the actual PRS competition, thats cool.
What I see is all of the competitors are using custom built rifles, expensive scopes and spotting scopes. What I am wondering is if the sponsors of the sport are supplying the shooters with any of their equipment or where is the benefit of the sponsorship applied? One has to practice to compete and there is a lot of expense in that as well.
These same shooters would be competitive with $1000 Savage rifles and entry level optics. When you get serious into an hobby, there are top tier prices for the best gear.
Wasn't any fun to watch, because we didn't get to see the targets as they were hit... Who cares what the shooters look like while they're shooting, we want to see the results...after the trigger is pulled. I noticed some of the shirts, such as "Shoot Better", I've seen similar memes floating around social media, makes me wonder what spirit is really behind these events. You can hit a target, you can hit a human, isn't that what people are really thinking when tapping the trigger. Besides, these aren't exactly the type of rifles you'd go deer hunting with.
Harold McBroom the sport is a combination of positional shooting and long range accuracy. So it really is good to see how the shooters are positioning themselves with difficult obstacles and stages. Seeing the impact from time to time is cool but the setup is what this is all about.
No its not what they are thinking amature Mind reader . Hitting a Human is the farthest thing from their mind ,its all about concentration, breathing ,control You are in the wrong place Anti Gun person . You have quite the Imagination with the " T-shirts and "memes" floating around social media "trying to create something that isn't there.
The only thing that matters about the target is whether or not it was hit, as is indicated by the callout. All the intricacies of the sport are relayed by the shooters positioning, breathing, control, etc; which can only be seen by watching the shooter themselves. This isn't supposed to be "fun" to watch to an Average Joe, it's meant to be educational to a person with a minor amount of pre-requisite knowledge. If you derive enjoyment from learning, then, and only then does it become inherently enjoyable. As for your other point, yeah people don't go deer hunting with these, but they also don't go people hunting with these, as your malign self seems to be suggesting. They go target hunting. ((An inanimate, metal plate target. (Before you get any ideas)) Either way, a true hunter would want to learn to be as accurate as possible, in order to dispatch an animal in the most humane way. I wasn't allowed to go hunting until I could consistently hit a silver dollar size targer with 3 shots at 150 yards (we never shot past 100 here in brush country). Please don't try to insult this video, and thereby this sport, with your petty, (and frankly, disgusting) reasoning.
You have the complete wrong mindset here. This type of competition is no different than playing a game of around the world with the basketball. Whether its a basketball going into a hoop, or a rubber band hitting a cup 50 feet away or in this case a gun shooting a metal target 400 yards away the principle is the same. This has absolutely nothing to do with killing people. Thats like trying to compare NASCAR race to someone using their vehicle to ram into a crowd a kill people.

Chris is a beastly human. He just seems to always be willing to do what it takes.
I like the old format better. But thank you for continuing to produce these videos. I look forward to them every time they are released.
Agreed, I like the other format. Too much crap in videos, need to be longer, more shooting.
Anyway you can tell us what caliber and scopes are being used?
I'm guessing calibre may be 6.5 creedmore judging by lack of recoil
@@lukecoxsen Alot of competitive shooters are moving to 6mm CM now.
Gonna take a wild guess and say different flavors of 6mm and NFs
Target size, distance, rules? Would be nice to know what's going on :-)

@@danielmaine45 Let me get this straight, you are complaining to complain?
@@NBKarmwrestling just pointing out that having an awesome video with no data points makes it somewhat ambiguous for the audience. Wasn't meant to be harsh, I meant it to be constructive criticism.....that's why I said what I did in my original comment. :-)
What are the distances of each target and target size?
Yeah. A little narative to explain what's going on would be nice.
Yeah 15 for 15 doesn't mean much if you don't know the target size or distance.

These guys love the word “impact.”
IMPACT! These are my kind of boys & girls! Awesome Jacob for hosting! So wish I was with you Cuz! Feeling the need to shoot shit & peg it every time!
Where are the competitions in Arizona held? I ask because I live in AZ and really wanting to get into it
There are monthly matches held at Cowtown Range. Second Saturday of every month
@@tylermoore1758 thank you very much, im in phx so hopefully I see you there

so do you get to pick up your brass after shooting a stage?
I was wondering that as well, then I saw the piles of brass, when you consider cost of that equipment, I guess the brass is just factored in.
What happens to all dem brass on da deck?

Did the match call for support hand shooting?? I see you switch hitting
What brand pants are the camo ones with the reinforced knees? Anyone? Thanks.
Google crye pants
@@skrallhama9942 and then 😂
Is there a gas gun only division at this match?
Not sure if you ever found out but yes its called tactical division and gas guns only
Awesomeness 💯👍🇺🇸
What are your thoughts on using a .22 trainer prs rifle as a cheaper training replacement for centerfire?
thats a good option man, I know a Spanish national PRS champion who actually uses a .22 LR for training and then he takes the 6.5 Creedmoor for the actual PRS competition, thats cool.
Ya better be rich to play this game, $275.00 and up entry fees not to mention freaking travel and crazy equipment costs
Thats cheap as all get out compared to my horse show expenses

Kili got a dope gun
No target cams? Lame
Anyone ever see someone run their benchrest rifle in one of these matches
good
👍🇺🇲
Lots of folks shooting without eye pro.
