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.
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
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.“
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.
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.
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.
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!
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
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.

I’m in Lakewood in Dallas and toying with getting into the PRS game.
My experience is limited to military rifle, pistol, LMG, and sniper matches and mil ranges. Spent some time at Tiger Valley and ETTS a decade ago but pleased to hear there are other ranges in the DFW area.
Where can a guy go to get dope on steel out to 1k without have to shell out $800 a year for a membership, that might only get used once a month?

We are a membership range at Gravestone but once you do one time membership fee of $150, you can then purchase a day pass for $55 or a monthly for $95/mo. Please let me know if you would like any other information.
35 bucks a day out to 1000yds in frankston. Steel atleast every 100yds and some mixed in between. 5H is the name of the range.
Who’s shooting Gravestone on the 18th? Any room in your squad before I pick one? First PRS match for me. I’ve shot a shit ton of USPSA and other run and gun shit but never this so squadding with someone to give me pointers would be a win lol.
Honestly, you will prolly be in good hands either way. Bunch of great dudes out there and with it being your first match, they will strongly advocate for tips and coaching. I’m still waiting for some scheduling conflicts to work out so may or may not be there.
I'll be there, it will only be my 2nd match but if its anything like Fossil Pointe (my first match back in November) then you'll be in good hands no matter what. Everybody is super cool. Just let the RO and your squad members know its your first time and they'll lend a hand with anything you'll need.
Let me or Jake Graves know if there is anything you need and we will make it happen. Glad to have you!!

I work on the west side of Dallas but I live near the Red River. Right now, I don't have the time and set to do PRS but I would like to live vicariously through your experiences. So, it would be cool, either in this thread or in another to document your experiences. Things learned, win or loss, who cares, we learn something and that is always worth something.
