As someone who is about to do my first match, this video was awesome. That tire stage looks like the great equalizer. Was awesome to see the progression as confidence built and just how humbling many of these stages can be. Thank you for this video. And congrats to you both.
Shot my first PRS match a few weeks ago. Had a lot fun and got to talk to some shooters that have been doing it a few years. Learned a so much. I did finish 2nd and I was shooting my 6.5 PRC hunting rifle.
This was fun to watch. I wish we could get to see more of the competing teams of F class too. Enjoyed this episode very much. Jason is a great shooter and so are you Eric. Keep em coming.
Great time to be in Freer, as the rattlesnakes are in dens when it's cold. There are a lot of those rascals out there! Grandpa and grandma lived in George West, and we would go to Freer to visit other kinfolk. Awesome video. Thanks for bringing us along
Good shooting, fun to watch. Those RO’s giving you wind calls on the clock…wish our club would allow that. We allow it for brand new shooters, but not experienced guys.
Jason should take a minute and watch you stage study videos. Those would improve his positional a lot💪 But like always, main thing is having fun and it looks like Jason is already enjoying the sport
Great video, I would suggest dialing parallax before the stage. Especially, if there’s only one distance and multiple positions. I saw Jason dialing parallax on the clock. It would certainly save some time.I hope y’all do more of these videos they’re awesome to watch. Jason did great on his first match.
Great vid! I usually have the same problem Jason brought up, first couple stages I'm kind of amped up which usually causes brain farts. Once I calm down and get in the groove then I'm good to go. Oh, and another thing I learned my last match of the season last year was the other thing he brought up, speed. I've always been going too slow. The "Don't worry about getting all your shots off worry about impacts". I sped up my last match and I didn't have time to mind F things to death. Get on stage, get on target, break the shot. Got way more impacts. (Imagine that. lol) This winter I added a crush it timer/dope card (from 5x5 precision) and that helps with time management a lot. I highly recommend it. Great shooting to the both of you.
You can tell them you don’t want your brass and they just leave it on the ground for you. You can pick it up yourself or leave it there. They are just helping.
Great watch! If you ain’t havin’ fun and enjoying the experience - whatever it is, do something else. Learning is doing. Repetition is doing. Again just a fun watch.
Somebody definitely should have said something to the kid trying to catch brass. Bumping into shooters, no eye pro, serious distraction… I know he was trying to be ‘helpful’, but it’s additional risk with no gain. The brass isn’t going anywhere. Great video though as always EC!
"No shame in it. Not for everyone. Donuts waiting for you, if you quit." Mr Cortina, did Jason come up in SF with Berkebile, or is that just a thing SF tells -everyone- going through training under them? I ask, because hearing that took me right back, 24 or 25 years ago to a mid-September morning in Fort Benning.
A friend of mine, former coworker, has a ranch and owns a pretty nice bar in Freer. I need to get down there and visit him one day. In S TX water freezes at 50 deg F. Guaranteed. Anything below that is like the North Slope... Wow... that was an interesting contest. I'm not one for contests but PRS looks fun
Do you like the khales? Was wondering if you have run a vortex razor hd and could compare? Love the razor HD. I heard good things about the khales and was curious.
Great job Jason, I remember my first competition shooting I think people in the parking lot could hear my knees knocking. You didn't shoot to your potential but no one does the first few times and very few ever do in a match, it gets in your blood if you like shooting there is nothing better. Watching the video it looked like sometimes you spent a lot of time aiming but very little to none following thru, might be something to think about as coming off the gun just a micro second too soon will cause a good shot to miss. Congrats and good luck!
@@ilikepiepls 😉You're too humble. I am curious what differences you noticed between “IRL” shooting and PRS shooting (positions, timing, effects of clothing etc, anything you noticed).
@@wilfdarr Time. I focused too much on time and it hindered me. Not in the aspect of going to fast but ensuring that I used all the time. It felt like it gave me time to make mistakes. One way live fire ranges are better than two way live fire ranges. Not having to shoot in body armor is freaking awesome. I can be comfortable and don’t have to suffer. 😂 Having great gear is awesome. Having to make do with inadequate gear sucks. But it also taught me how important the fundamentals are.
@@ilikepiepls That's interesting: there certainly is a middle ground there, and it's probably wise for you to stretch the time since your world was the other side of that, bracket the sweet spot as it were. Thanks for taking the time to share your insights. And thank you for your service.
Jason you are just like everyone else..Youre try very hard and you are nervous.Its just hiumam competative nature and you want to do good in front of Erik..Heck Im sure he was so nervous his 1st time he was talking Spanish and thinking English!!! Hahaha You did as good as any ones fisrt trip..You did good. I think the poroblem was that dang EC Tuner Brake..LOL Just teasing ERIK!! I love my EC Tuner Brake!
I am a clay shooter mostly… if someone try to catch clean hulls while I shoot it start a fight. Is this a part of the station to try to disturb the shooter?
What is your take on the Tactacam? I am thinking about running 2 cameras during training at the range, a tactacam and a camera to catch flags at point of trigger pull, along with s hot marker, To aid with wind reading. Thoughts? I love your work and keep up all the great efforts that you are pursuing.
Looks like a fun time. Didnt like to see $3000 scopes up against those steel stairs and small squares. Would be fun to see you run it again with a Ruger Predator in a Oryx chassis for the less financially fortunate. I saw a guy shoot .23# group with that setup. Sucks getting old, cant lay down fast like we used to 🤣. Ill bet those tacos were worth it though. Great video guys. 🌮🌮🌮
Great shooting for a first match. He kicked a$$ once he settled in. Jason could improve his reverse kneeling position better by wearing a single knee pad to remember to put his strong/support side knee up to make a triangle support (knee to elbow) and it will allow for a more solid support when in those mid height positions. Once you do it enough you can ditch the knee pad when not needed. Always enjoy your videos. Also, never turn facing an RO while moving on a stage with a firearm, muzzle was vertical but it would end poorly for the shooter in a lot of matches.
As someone who is about to do my first match, this video was awesome. That tire stage looks like the great equalizer. Was awesome to see the progression as confidence built and just how humbling many of these stages can be. Thank you for this video. And congrats to you both.
Dude trying to catch the brass would have drove me nuts.
I think this is the most I ever seen Jason smile. It looked like fun.
Now you have to wait until you shoot 400 rounds before you clean the barrel.
Exactly. #wink
Shot my first PRS match a few weeks ago. Had a lot fun and got to talk to some shooters that have been doing it a few years. Learned a so much. I did finish 2nd and I was shooting my 6.5 PRC hunting rifle.
I just got myself a 6.5 prc for long range paper punching. I like it so far congratulations on second place.
Jason good shooting for the first-ever comp. Eric thank you for sharing. You inspire me to get out and shoot.
Always love your squad mates who will help collect brass. 😎👍
This was fun to watch. I wish we could get to see more of the competing teams of F class too.
Enjoyed this episode very much. Jason is a great shooter and so are you Eric.
Keep em coming.
Nice job on your first match Jason. Better than most on their first one, including myself lol.
Great time to be in Freer, as the rattlesnakes are in dens when it's cold. There are a lot of those rascals out there!
Grandpa and grandma lived in George West, and we would go to Freer to visit other kinfolk.
Awesome video.
Thanks for bringing us along
Great job Jason. Can’t wait to shoot first match. Currently shooting 22 matches. They are a blast for sure.
I couldn't imagine what the pressure would be like shooting before someone like Eric and video... You done awesome Jason 👍 👌 👏
Excellent job guys -- You and Jason are a great team. Thanks for your content.
Love the camaraderie that they are developing. Really good to see.
15:45 mark, what a gentleman to pick up brass for shooters, that’s amazing !
Nice shooting fellas. Good to see Jason relax as the match progressed.
Good shooting, fun to watch. Those RO’s giving you wind calls on the clock…wish our club would allow that. We allow it for brand new shooters, but not experienced guys.
This was a very relaxed club match. Forecast called for 30° weather and raining, so a lot of shooters didn’t show up.
Jason should take a minute and watch you stage study videos. Those would improve his positional a lot💪 But like always, main thing is having fun and it looks like Jason is already enjoying the sport
@@sakusalo-tuisku4305 I’m sure Jason and I could learn a lot from each other. I really appreciate how calm he is.
@@ErikCortina cool. Looked like fun. Jason did great for his first one.
22:35 having someone sit there collecting your brass while you are shooting would crap me soooo much!
Now that looked like a blast, Jason will settle in ....................................Good job by both !!
Nice video. People thinking about getting into PRS should watch this to see how it goes for a first timer. Good job Jason!
More TH-cam videos Erik.
Thanks for the great content.
Good job Jason. Thanks for taking us along

Super Awesome and Fun Learning Curve.
Regards all the way From South Africa.
Haha! Love Jason's attitude...... so laid back...
I will be giving this a try this year.What's up with the brass catcher boy?Looks annoying!
You can tell them you don’t want your brass and they just leave it on the ground for you. You can pick it up yourself or leave it there. They are just helping.
Great job Jason and Erik!
Thanks for sharing this.
Brilliant video really enjoyed this more of the same well done Jason and Eric ....
Great watch!
If you ain’t havin’ fun and enjoying the experience - whatever it is, do something else. Learning is doing. Repetition is doing.
Again just a fun watch.
Well done Jason 🤘👍

I know he was trying to be ‘helpful’, but it’s additional risk with no gain. The brass isn’t going anywhere.
Great video though as always EC!
Great video I've thought about trying prs for awhile but life has been to busy.thanks for video and God bless
Good shooting guys. I enjoy your videos. Thanks for sharing.
I learned so much my first PRS match. Time goes by quick!
Yes it does, amazing how fast it is!
love your work jason.

Looks like a real fun shoot, near stages. Good job guys!
Great video. 👍 positive attitude, fun,questions, answers. Keep it up. Keep m centered!!
Great shooting by both of you!
What about the new lathe and new products/services?

Anything below that is like the North Slope... Wow... that was an interesting contest. I'm not one for contests but PRS looks fun
This was really neat I have never seen one of these matches I'm going to have to look into this and see if there are any around where I'm at.
Awesome video, fun to watch!!
Congratulations!!! 🥳
Great job! Your doing good especially considering I can clearly hear the wind coming through.
Congratulations to Jason. What scope is/was Jason using during his first PRS match?
Great TEAMWORK
Great shooting Erik&Jason you make a great team
good job Jason
Some good shooting for first match. One word of advice Jason........don't Lube. LOL Thanks for sharing. This was fun to watch.
Good shooting by both of you. Jason did good for his first PRS .
Thanks for sharing!
Most fun you've had in those blue pants. Well done.
Nice one!! Love the farget and shooters kombo. Good one
Awww very tough needs lots of practice indeed , wow factor is Outstanding great course 💯👍🇺🇸
Great video guys! Loved it!
Great video... Thx for sharing !
Do you like the khales? Was wondering if you have run a vortex razor hd and could compare? Love the razor HD. I heard good things about the khales and was curious.
That was awesome, way too much fun 🇺🇸👍🏼
Good shooting Erik !,....Good fuel Jason !,.....Thanks fer the sharing the video !!
Big Congrats to Jason. I couldn't tell wind direction, but I sure could hear it gusting on the audio.
This buds for you brass police man!

If he wasn’t hooked yet? He is now! Looking forward to seeing you guys at Best in Texas next month.
Go Jason!
Look like a lot of fun Go Jason

Oh, those early dawn drives to go for shooting competition...priceless.
Loved watching y’all shoot the match. When’s the next one? I’m in.
You Guys have some serious wind nice video TY
What calibers are you guys using.
That looked a lot of fun, take a few matches to learn the ropes for sure. What front bag & bipod are you using? Well done Jason 😎
Thank you. I am using a thunderbeast bipod and a schmedium waxed canvas bag
I've been debating what bipod to get. I believe the ladder stage just sold me on harris
Always enjoy it!
Loved it !
Looks like a dang fun match.
I am really curious about the 7x47 I love my 6mm's but 7mm been my favorite since I was stationed in Vegas.
It’s fun to shoot. Follow up on shots was rough but I attribute that to poor positions IE me
I agree, I’m now very curious about 7x47. Maybe a 5-10min video in the future about it and what brought you to it .
No one likes a quitter. Good times "De Oppresso Liber"
I wish i could do half that well on my first match....great job guys
Really appreciated this video!
Nice job boys
Can you provide the dimensions of the bag, in centimetres and what it is filled with?
I am a clay shooter mostly… if someone try to catch clean hulls while I shoot it start a fight. Is this a part of the station to try to disturb the shooter?
What is your take on the Tactacam? I am thinking about running 2 cameras during training at the range, a tactacam and a camera to catch flags at point of trigger pull, along with s hot marker, To aid with wind reading. Thoughts? I love your work and keep up all the great efforts that you are pursuing.
Erik Nice shooting
Great job Jason. Erik your fast for a f class guy! Lol looks like alot of fun.
Shooting against you he did damn good!
I'm really enjoying your content! Out of curiosity, which bag do you shoot off of?
Looks like a fun time. Didnt like to see $3000 scopes up against those steel stairs and small squares.
Would be fun to see you run it again with a Ruger Predator in a Oryx chassis for the less financially fortunate. I saw a guy shoot .23# group with that setup. Sucks getting old, cant lay down fast like we used to 🤣. Ill bet those tacos were worth it though. Great video guys. 🌮🌮🌮
I couldn't shoot with the dude there catching brass! I know he was trying to help but it would freak me out!
That was awesome👍🏻

Also, never turn facing an RO while moving on a stage with a firearm, muzzle was vertical but it would end poorly for the shooter in a lot of matches.
Great video you should both come over to the uk and shoot a prs uk match
I got to play with a K525i scope today, i cant wait to buy one
GR8 VIDEO LUV IT.... RESPECT GENTS.....
Jason is that an IOR Valdada optic? I use a Recon G1 on one of my rifles. Really like the optic.
No, it is a Kahles k525i
man that looks like fun
How big are the targets at 300, 400 500,and 600 yards
Diesel Deer Ranch I assume... 😎👍
Never watched one of these matches outside of the Best Sniper at Bragg (not the same, similar feel). I'm eons more entertained than a 3 gun
