While I’m not a fan of production division, mainly because it is too small and doesn’t factor in shooter experience or prior competition placements, I don’t see it going away.
Too many major manufacturers have geared up products for the division. PRS lives on the partnerships it has with the industry, and it is not going to burn those bridges anytime soon.
With the low participation, it would be interesting to see if their sale are influenced by calling it “production class approved,” or simply because it’s a lot of high quality parts sold for sub 2k.
My initial thoughts are the later.
