DFW Area PRS Guys

[Nadir Solutions]

I'm in DFW near Lake Highlands. Just getting into PRS, was curious if there was a group who train together or anything. I've been up to Fossil Pointe a couple times but looking to join up and maybe pick up some pointers to start getting ready for next year's season.

Thanks.

Come to a match at Fossil Point. We train at 1 day matches.

 

[bbyars]

Between fossil point, gravestone, and white oak youre within 3 hrs of some pretty good matches. White oak does an open range day if you’re lucky enough to get fridays off. You will learn far more shooting a match with whatever equipment you have and even borrowing gear to shoot, than by just watching. Newer shooters will generally be squaded with experienced guys to help out anyway. The season is over so nobody is gonna give a shit about helping or coaching on the clock. Now is the perfect time.

 

[Spatcher]

Like everyone else posted, the best training is shooting a match. Come out to one and let the MD and your squad know you’re new.

Also, fossil point requires a qualifier to be shot before competing so make sure you shoot them an email before registering for a match. I think they are done during the week but weekends could be scheduled in advance. Just a heads up.

I don't think they require this for PRS matches. I think they figure there are enough eyes on a new shooter to prevent catastrophy. I never shot a qualifier. I might be wrong though, things might have changed.

they must have. I inquired before registering for this weekends match and that was the response I received from them. Kind of a bummer honestly.. I was looking forward to going.

 

[bbyars]

I never did that. I started shooting there the beginning of this year though. I would just ask if they can give you an improvised version morning of. I’d also say you’re meeting us, im on squad 5

I think I will. Or see if they’ll accept a video of me doing the qual at my home range. I understand the safety aspect of it but dang.. seems like they’re bottlenecking themselves on entry fees lol

 

[Spatcher]

Have you shot PRS matches before? I never had to do their qualification either as I’d already shot matches. Quote from Practiscore: “Any shooter new to PRS, AND who has not qualified at Fossil Pointe must contact [email protected] to participate.“

 

[Whytry85]

Yup. 5-6 with only one being a points match though.

But being the OP is just getting into PRS himself, I would assume that the same would apply. Could be wrong though.

You should be good to go then. Maybe let them know you have shot matches before just not there? I just registered and showed up my first one at FP and nobody asked me anything.

I tried. No dice. Either way, it’s not a huge deal. Thought it might be useful information but if they don’t stick to their “policy” i guess it’s on me for trying to follow it. Next time, ignorance is bliss

Like everyone said above. Lots of good matches. North East Texas Tactical does a belly flop match. I like this match because you don’t have to worry about position and can focus on ballistics and hitting the smallest targets you can. I’m in East Dallas. Hit me up if you wanna squad together.

Completely forgot about the bellyflop. It’s a fun time with hardly any pressure.

Yeah that’s why I think it’s a good match. Easy, done by 12 at the latest.

We would love to have you out at Gravestone. We hold monthly Centerfire PRS matches on the third Saturday of the month and Rimfire on the second Saturday. My website is www.shootgravestone.com

 

[J_D]

I just became a member at Gravestone and its a spectacular Range for PRS.

 

[Flyperk]

That’s the one in Lipan?
I started to join and I live in Lafayette…….

I want to join but it’s 1.5 hours from me. NORTH East Texas Tactical is 30 min so that’s where I am a year round member.

Wish Netts did a PRS match, that would only be 45 min for me.

Sure beats driving to the 2-4 hours for sure.

Same for me just short of 2 hrs to Lipan. I’m at the edge of Rowlett. Gravestone is worth the drive. I’m doing the Rimfire PRS match there next weekend.

I shot two matches at Fossil Point this year, a couple months apart. I did have to do the qualifier beforehand. It was a great time.

I hadn't heard of gravestone, definitely will check it out.

 

[Shayne Ward]

Happy to answer any questions you have about Gravestone... Awesome place! There is usually a good group of guys shooting centerfire on Fridays and Saturdays every week. Centerfire PRS matches every 3rd Saturday. Rimfire PRS matches every 2nd Saturday. Having shot at every facility within a 5-6 hour drive Gravestone offers double what most of these others offer as far as facility and pure shooting challenges. Hope to see you out there!

For anyone doing the November match. If you want to squad together let’s get a hide square going.

If I can make it by to do the qualifier, I’m down.

I'd enjoy joinign up, but have a commitment with the boy on a camping trip. Going to try for next time.

We don’t require a qualifier at Gravestone to shoot matches.

We are giving away two suppressor certs from SilencerCo on the 11/16 Match. One to the winner and one random draw.

I was talking about gravestone. Should have mentioned that. No qualifier needed

 

[Oldloser]

I called David at FP and respectfully gave him my background and he met me at FP and qualified me. A number of out of state PRS and professional shooters have done the same. Rhett runs the PRS matches and is former Army and a great instructor. He also does the qualifications.

Jake needs no introduction and is a great guy who has put together a hell of a facility at Lipan. It’s 90 minutes.

FP and Gravestone are adult ranges where we are treated like adults and all the props are open for us to use. It’s well worth it to filter the shooters who want to shoot there to make sure we dont have rounds escaping the facilities.

Up north is Battle Springs Ranch with matches run by Tyler Black, also former Army. They have matches and open range days. It’s 90 minutes to there.

East is White Oak Creek. Three hours plus.

South is TX Precision in Navasota and ATX out by Burnet. Three hours plus.

Any shooters on here gonna be at the PRS match at FP next weekend ( the 24th ) ? Gonna be my first match and I talked with Rhett a lil on what to expect. Kinda just going in blind and looking to have fun and learn.
