PRS Talk Barricade Stop Rodeo

[WeHunt]

Hello PRS shooters, my first time to post in this section of the hide.

I’m about to order my first MPA chassis and I’m trying to decide on what accessories to buy. I have no desire to have a lightweight rifle to take hunting so I’m probably going with the competition model, which comes with a standard barricade stop. In looking at the other barricade stops, it seems like you could use the flat side as a regular barricade stop. Now if they would make one side of the cow gate thicker than the other one you would have the offset barricade stop covered too, the whole enchilada. How many squares of duct tape does it take...

I would like to hear about any improvisations on your barricade stop setup to keep things simple.

The best MPA accessory in my opinion is the RAT bipod adaptor. Make sure you get that.

The standard barricade stop works well without modification in space confined position like a window or portal that you can lean into. I have seen people add some sort of sticky rubber tape layer to the cow gate stops but I never ventured into testing that because the barricade stops normally aren’t the best choice for me.

For the PRS barricade and similar I tried the standard and cow gate barricade stops a few times but they didn’t work as well as setting on a heavy bag. In my experience the barricade stops lock in hard on the prop allowing easy sight picture and clean trigger breaks but I still missed a lot. I think the misses happen because of recoil moving / shifting unstable props. Eventually I stopped trying and went back to using a Gamechanger or Saracen assuming no overhead space restrictions.

As always YMMV.

Keep it simple with the gadgets and just use a bag on props such as a Wiebad mini fortune cookie. Will be more stable and quicker.
