    PRS Talk Welcome to the Camps.... Don't buy a PRS membership

    Most matches around here charge $30-60 for a one day match. Typical turnouts have been 25-45 shooters. As I understand a good portion of the money goes to the range or land owner. Then you have target repair/replacement and whatever time the MD has in course of fire/prop design etc. It's...

    PRS Talk Welcome to the Camps.... Don't buy a PRS membership

    I'm not opposed to that idea at all, I'll likely get behind it and pay the membership fee either way. I'm still a very new long range/match shooter so I don't have all the history but I see a lot of unhappy people who have a lot of issues with the former regime. Shannon seems to be trying to...

    PRS Talk Welcome to the Camps.... Don't buy a PRS membership

    I totally see and agree with your point and there's two other things humans tend to hate whether they admit it or not, that's change and options. Most people are used to the way things are and will fight the change and if you give them the option they're going to fret about it. It's new...

    PRS Talk Welcome to the Camps.... Don't buy a PRS membership

    I have a hard time understanding why a $40 membership is such a divisive issue. $40 outright to track your club series scores for the year is a hell of a lot easier on the MD's. It takes away their responsibility to collect money from each shooter and forward that on to the PRS from each match...

    Tikka T3 Thread

    I've got 2 tikka triggers, one is from a T3, the other from a T3X. Both of them have a very detectable amount of creep that has gotten worse over time. I'm currently running the T3 trigger in my T3X action which is on my match rifle because that trigger is slightly better. I don't care one way...

    Actions that accept DIY barrel changes (Savage, Rem-age, etc)? and question about Tikka barrel swap

    Damn that's crazy! I've heard the Tikka barrels are tough to get off. Glad you got it done.

    Actions that accept DIY barrel changes (Savage, Rem-age, etc)? and question about Tikka barrel swap

    I personally love Tikka actions/triggers. I’m planning on picking up a Ross Vise and swapping back and for between my creed barrel for practice and a new 6x47 barrel for matches. I’ve never done it but Carl goes back and forth between barrels in what seems like a minute. I believe all you need...

    Swarovski Gift Certificate - PRS Shooter - What to do?

    I was really hoping the Swaro cert would have stayed on the table a little longer so I could’ve grabbed it this past weekend out here in Montana. I’m drooling over a pair of their 15’s. I currently run EL 8x32’s on a tripod and they’re amazing with their huge field of view out to about 600. I...

    Gecko 2 vs waxed canvas Gamechanger?

    What stage have you shot that you think the non slip would actually give you an advantage? Only one I can think of is one where we shot off the lower leg of a tank trap with no bipods allowed. Might have helped keep the bag from slipping down. My Comanche at the time worked fine by gripping the...

    Gecko 2 vs waxed canvas Gamechanger?

    Never heard of the gecko 2 before this thread but first look at their website it's a pretty blatant knockoff of the game changer. Funny thing is it seems as though they've got some good ideas with the material they're using and the fill has me intrigued but I just find it lazy that they didn't...

    Rifle Scopes Kahles 525i

    Two situations, first shooting a mover makes a huge difference if you dial out the wind. Often times guys will hold centered up on the confirm target, see the impact whether on or off the plate and dial out whatever they see before moving onto the mover. Second situation I used it was in a...

    6.5 creedmoor vs 6.5x47 lapua

    I currently shoot 6.5 creedmoor and have no experience with the 6.5x47 but I have noticed a bias against the creedmoor. I’m guessing because it is so popular, people always want to prove they’re different from the herd. My creedmoor has been ridiculously easy to find a load for and I’ve had to...

    @DetroitRearView Peter will be holding a club series match there next weekend, you probably already know about it but it's a really good intro if you haven't shot matches before.

    Great pics Frank! It was a learning experience for me all the way around. My first national level match but I loved the format. Super fun course of fire. I was having case head separation issues from what I’d learn was me oversizing my brass but I still shot okay considering. That damn...
