Well a big reason is Paul doesn't shoot PRS matches so he always has a bunch of gimmicky shit that people do not want. You cans tell the matches aren't really proofed. I know a bunch of guys who refuse to shoot there because of it. Shooting off floating platforms, Off rubber shoothouse blocks on MOA and sub MOA targets and some other shit that is more luck than skill. I shot the last 3 or 4 2 days he had and everyone had some shit that left you scratching your head. And some of the RO's he uses are strait up assholes and dicks. Its the only place people complain about the RO's at any of the East Coast venues. Paul has rubbed a lot of dudes the wrong way. He has a strong take it or leave it personality and it can clash with other people who are similar.
It should be a requirement that anyone MDing a 2 day match needs to shoot at least 3 of them a year to get a match. Some of these guys are so out of touch with the current pace and shooting styles. Alot of the gimmicky shit has been pushed out of PRS because shooters don't want that stuff. Par times are always fast there,rumor was he didn't want to buy timers that could go over 99 seconds
Its a shame too because its one hell of a facility with an awesome pro shop. It could be one of the gems of the east coast PRS if they had someone setting targets and running the matches who was an actual PRS competitor.
Some of those so called gimmicky stages are stages that have been shot for years in matches like the floating platform. Hell we shot out of an actual boat in a pond at Rifles Only. Wonder if it was the same guys complaining who are also the same guys pushing the PRS to be barricade benchrest?
And Paul had two 2 day matches down there a year as that’s all they gave him but also a bunch of one days and .22 matches. He does have a strong No BS attitude and maybe that is why they dropped him because they couldn’t control him. It’s funny the MDs don’t understand they are the ones who hold all the power as the PRS doesn’t run shit. They keep track of scores. If all the ranges told them to pound sand and ran what they wanted they would still fill matches and the PRS would be out of business. Lol
As to the ROs, I never had a problem with them. Maybe it’s some “pros” who think they run the match and don’t like being told how to do things. Lol

Paul Smith of Frontline Defense down here in NC and another range, Alliance Outdoors which has been running their own matches for years, will be running their own series this year after Paul was told that he didn’t have the “values” of the PRS which is a fucking joke. They will have three divisions open, tactical and gas gun. Only thing separate from that is a seniors class which is over 60 years old. Nice and simple. Anyone in the area should take a look in 2025. Below are the rules.
