    New Kestrel® HUD and Kestrel® Ballistics 2700

    The biggest issue I see in trying to use this for PRS competitions is target labeling. If you’re supposed to engage targets “B”, “F”, and “M” in that order, the HUD will still only display “A”, “B”, and “C”. As far as I know there is no way to easily and quickly re-label the targets even if you...

    I know the some of the guys running the league are also working on more venues in Maine.

    New from Massachusetts

    The PRS matches are held in Littleton and Conway, NH; Granby, MA; Jericho, VT; and Catskill, NY. All of these ranges have targets to 1000yds and some beyond. The schedule is coordinated by the league and no one range holds the most matches. The ranges in Littleton and Granby are regular clubs...

    New from Massachusetts

    Get accurate dope for your rifle and ammo combination at as far a distance as you can. You’ll want some higher quality ammo than you have pictured there. Make sure you have an accurate ballistic app. Then start entering some matches. The MMPRL shooters are a fun, helpful bunch and will be happy...

    New from Massachusetts

    Another Masshole heard from here. Believe it or not, eastern Mass and southern NH have some of the most active and accomplished rifle shooters in the country. All of of the KD matches in the area are open to the public and run almost every weekend from April thru October. If you’re looking...

    All-around rain gear for PRS shooting

    Supposedly, we shoot PRS for fun. If it’s raining that much, I go home. It’s just not fun to shoot in the rain. For quick passing showers a light poncho for me and another for my gear. I try to carry a 50 gallon trash bag or two also.

    Prediction: So when do we start seeing Vudoos in the Olympics, etc?

    I wasn’t interested enough in the question to read the whole thread. Sorry I understand Anschutz triggers can be put on Rem 700 actions, but it’s not very common at all. If it really worked well, everyone would be doing it.

    Prediction: So when do we start seeing Vudoos in the Olympics, etc?

    Until someone puts a trigger on a vudoo that is even close to an Anschtuz trigger, it will never be in the olympics. Even the best Rem 700 triggers are not equivalent to the performance of the Anschutz triggers.

    E Dope Apple Compatibility update?

    A month or two ago, Downrange Systems said they were working on/hoping for iPhone compatibility coming soon. So far there hasn’t been any more news or announcements about it. I bought one based on that announcement. If it never happens, I’ll just find an old android phone to run it on.

    Club loaner 22 suggestions

    The Tikka is great right out of the box. Especially with the pistol grip and forend mods available for the factory stock. I put one in a Krg Bravo and it’s a hammer with Eley Club.

    highest quality hearing protection?

    I’ve been using the Etymotic GSP15’s all this season. If you can get over them not being rechargeable (batteries are cheap), they work excellent. I can fire and be around braked rifles all day with no discomfort. I did have to purchase some aftermarket foam earpieces for them to work well...

    Pressure Signs - Berger 105gr vs DTAC 115gr

    The base of the Alpha 6xc cases is too soft. You’ll find the base expands twice as much as Norma or Petersen brass when fired. It also the reason for your sticky bolt lift. The 115 has a longer bearing surface and thus generates higher pressures with the same powder charge. Try the same test...

    Shitbags hit Firing Pin (Opelika, AL) last night

    I know of a shop owner whose life was saved by the local cops. The local scumbags let it slip that they planned to storm the store during business hours, kill the owner and then take whatever they wanted.

    Auto Powder Droppers

    If You’re trying to accurately and consistently measure .1 or .05 grains, you are going to have to spend some money. You need a lab grade balance if you expect results, and they are not cheap. Right now, the Autotricker system is the best out there in terms of price and accuracy. I have one...

    MSA Sorden Pro-x vs Peltor Comtac III W/O comms

    After giving up on my Etymotic ESP’s, I gave them another shot with some aftermarket foam tips. What a difference! I only wish they were the rechargables instead of the battery ones. I used them for a full day match with plenty of braked rifles around me and they worked great. I thought I’d...

    Talk me out of a Kestrel and Sig BDX Rangefinder.

    I have the Kestrel Elite and Sig 3000bdx binos. It is a friggin great setup. Very glad I got it. Hopefully they will make the HUD useful for competitions. If not, the DRS e-dope card is working on Iphone compatability.

    New Kestrel® HUD and Kestrel® Ballistics 2700

    I’d like to know how the new HUD would be an improvement, specifically for PRS matches, over the DRS e-dope card paired with data from a Kestrel 5700 elite and AB link. I really love the idea of seamless integration with the HUD, the Kestrel 5700, and a Sig rangefinder. However, I just don’t...
