A new range to me with grass even! First time there, gave the AXSA ES a spin. Just 4 benches, I'd have brought a shooting mat had I known it's primarily a prone range.

Can't you just lay down and shoot on the grass without a mat?

Can you shoot more than 200yds at this range?

200 yards is the max that was available to me. Not sure what else they might have there longer.

Yeah I could have just laid down, but wasn't really dressed for grass/dirt. I figured they had good benches. Live and learn.

Always take your mat. Even if planning to shoot off a bench, the mat placed on top of the bench makes things nicer all around.

Well…it went 4,287rds in AZ meth dust before it went down. I should have not been an asshole and just flushed it each time I tore it down rather than just hitting it with a brush. Popped the spare in and got back to work.

Lol, the sandpit gotcha, welcome to the club. Glad you had your backup. I've just started zippo fluid drenching mine from the top after a sandy/windy match.

I started a dedicated thread about them in this forum about an hour before the post in this thread. They sold out in basically 2 hours but I think they only had 4 of them available.

This one time, at band camp, I put on face pant and went streaking through the quad. Despite being the fastest out of all of my invisible friends (and girlfriends who live in Canada but can’t afford to move to the US just yet), I still wasn’t fast enough to make my dad proud. That’s why I spend money on things like this:

Have you tried out the TT yet? Interested to hear your comparison b/t the ATACR, ZCO and this.

 

[M8541Reaper]

Have you tried out the TT yet? Interested to hear your comparison b/t the ATACR, ZCO and this.

I have at the range but not at a match yet or side to side with the others (I don’t have them anymore). I like all three but I think the TT wins it out for me. But honestly not for anything other than that tool less zero feature. It’s tits. For me and my eyes, the ATACR and ZCO looked at brush and stuff (on the same power) at distance in the desert the same. The TT is just so easy to quickly float if you’re swapping calibers. Plan was to also try the SB636 but man I don’t think I’m going to pass this on. As for the turret “feel” (gay) they’re nice but I don’t see what the internet beats off too about their feel. They click, as they should. They feel nice but so do the ZCO 10Mil NLE turrets….and I liked the ATACR turret feel too. Glass seems to split hairs at this level, which is nice but honestly it’s clear and does really well in 105F mirage.

All in all I like the TT but I have a hard time saying I’d pay that high of cost out of pocket over an ATACR735. …plus the reticles are gay and Mil-XT and MPCT2X are at the top of my preferred reticles. …but I like the Gen3XR Fine a lot more than I thought I would. Although I hear the PST Gen 2 is the bee’s knees and maybe I should get that instead?

Looks like she’s the one to be painted this winter.

Thanks. I have the SB 6-36 with the new TR2ID, and ATACRs with Mil-XT (4-20) and Tremor 3(7-35), plus some SB 5-25s with H2CMR reticles. I shoot ELR, but just for fun, and I like the H2CMR a lot until I run out of Elevation and have to hold both Elevation and Wind, then I’m just guessing. I really like the Mil-XT but need more mag than just 4-20. I like the 7-35 ATACR just fine, but the Tremor3 is TOO busy. The SB 6-36 TR2ID is just about perfect for me so far, but if I thought the TT was noticeably better optically, and the Gen3 XR is not too fine, I wouldn’t be opposed to trying one. I haven’t looked hard at the ZCO 8-40, but I don’t think it has anything on the SB 6-36 from what I’ve seen so far.

I hope so. Man the moly fad ended like 15 years ago. I didn’t know you could even buy it anymore.

Did AI change the location of the serial # on the receivers? I just saw this on a GunBroker ad for an AT and I really, really dislike it if so. I know it shouldn't matter but it's just not right. The receiver is also a matte black which looks weird to me.

They did that because the AT-X chassis sits so high that it would cover where the original SN was.

 

[J-Ham]

That's the singular way they deviated from Sam's original design of the chassis.

 

[Kiba]

It's still living a happy life, thanks for checking in on it. Currently has a 6 Dasher barrel on it. Had it out recently on a multi day hunting trip and it blew up about 300 ground squirrels. 55gr Nosler BTLFs at 3850 are spectacular on the little buggers. Got a couple of coyotes with it too.

I wish I could remember who I sold my AE Mk3 (my first AI purchase) and 2x ATs to, but those old PX threads and PMs were victims of the Scout transition.

Tell everyone in your squad that it is your first match.

Take your time, have fun, learn a lot.

^^This, plus

Bring water, snacks, and sunscreen. Bug spray if appropriate. You're going to time out- try not to care, you can't miss fast enough to win.

Just have fun. If you stress to the point it isn’t fun you’ll just loose interest

- Nobody really cares how you shoot
- All the eyes behind you are not watching you
- Mishaps are part of the fun
- Yes your bolt lift was always that heavy

 

[Vivacious Stallion]

Focus on good trigger discipline and building good positions. Don't worry about the timer so much at this point and take your time to get good hits especially on barricades and other weird positions. Ask questions and don't go in with big expections for your performance.

Also help spot, police brass, etc.

 

[TheOE800]

Constantly remind everyone of the provenance of your rifle and how much it cost, without them asking you.

 

[BurtG]

Practice prone kneeling standing etc with your game changer
Practice getting into position quickly , finding NPA and dryfiring/firing

Get a data card I like the magnetic one in the for sale section
Make sure you have accurate drops for your rifle
Make sure you have a chamber flag
Wings or the pro gamer plate and square bag are useful

“Preshoot” each stage with your spotter if you have one. Can do this while helping spot hits for other shooters. Can see which side of plate people are hitting or missing on. Give wind clues



Have fun. Most people are very humbled at their first decent Prs match.



When in doubt. Bag it

Ask to borrow gear. You won't know what works until you try it. This way you can try many different bags and bipods without having to buy them all.

Every time you miss, mutter “phukin’ heat drift.”

Ignore those other nerds @xxflyingturtlexx …this is the only advice you need for a match.
You already have the most important thing locked in..looking cool. That’s the most important thing.

 

[taliv]

This. And also, instead of a shooting mat, especially if shooting mats are provided on the stage, roll out a red carpet to place your AI on before shooting. And bring some moist towelettes to cleanse any barricades before they touch your rifle. The ROs should do this for you but some of them may be noobs so best to being your own
