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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.
