PRS Talk PRS New England Match a Success

[nickw]

Just wanted to let everyone know that the New England PRS match held this weekend was a huge success. The match was held on top of a mountain in Dalton New Hampshire at the Team O'Neal Driving school. This was their first and only PRS match. They knocked it out of the park. It was extremely well run. The COF was very challenging. We literally hiked and shot on top of and around the mountain. Although the target sizes were generous (for the new shooters, which made up almost 1/2 the competitors), the angles, elevation, terrain and props made it very challenging. I hope Wyatt and crew continue to hold matches here. Please don't hesitate to come to future matches in New England held by Team O'Neal.

Any matches planned for 2018?

Granny Bow & Gun Club in Granby MA will be hosting .22 PRS matches. Our 1000y shooting line has been closed by the Town for lack of a permit (zoning issue). We have brought suit against the town in Boston Land Court as we feel strongly that the Club did nothing wrong and were well within the law.

The Sheepdog Warrior range in NY will be hosting PRS matches as well as a club in NH and VT. Join the Northeast Precision Shooters Page on fb as all our PRS matches are advertised there.

I hope you shove it in without lube and break it off. Antis and NIMBYs need to be taught a lesson.

Subscribing!

I'm in CT and have good friends in NH. I'm very interested in local longer range matches.

Does any one know as to why the PRS match director does not answer emails? I am looking for more info on the Dalton NH match this year. I have emailed three times with no response. Is the PRS still in operation?

 

[Redeye3]

Email response's are tough to get considering their fulltime rally school, we've tried to setup up club matches or practice shoots but never got a response on either. Looks like the king of 223 Sean Wiseman will be running this match again this year, I'm pumped he did a great job last year. U might be able to reach him through PRS website.

 

[Redeye3]

So far we have 4 clubs running club matches this year in the Northeast besides Dalton PRS

 

[liberty2701]

He has no email contact on there. It actually looks like you need to join and pay $100 dollars to shoot. Too bad since this is the only local match available that I can go to. Requiring someone to join and pay $100 is going to suppress interest. There should be a one time match fee to participate.

 

[liberty2701]

I shot at the Pemi one last month.

 

[Redeye3]

you dont have to pay, thats just if you want to enter the PRS point race

I was at pemi as well

 

[liberty2701]

That is good news. Too bad there website does not clarify that. They must of recently added a phone number. I will give it a call.

Were you one of the good or bad shooters? I was one of the bad.

 

[Redeye3]

lol, I won it. Rob01 taught me well practice what you suck at and get off your belly!! best advice I ever got

 

[liberty2701]

You mean stop shooting from prone where it is easy?

 

[liberty2701]

Did you shoot at Dalton last year?

 

[Redeye3]

Did you shoot at Dalton last year?

yes, F-in awesome time

 

[Redeye3]

You mean stop shooting from prone where it is easy?

get your dope solid/ MV/ bc comfirmed/good Ballistic app or kestrel of some sorts then practice your ass off doing weird shit

 

[liberty2701]

How do you shoot or register at Dalton since nobody responds to emails? They took down the phone number on the PRS site. It seem that when I try to register it is asking for the $100. I will not be shooting for points.

 

[Redeye3]

U have to wait till reg's open up, follow PRS series on Facebook or keep checking back on the site

Where in Maine? I travel to Washington County several times a year. Always looking for a new place to shoot, and people to shoot with!

 

[Tommyd184]

All signed up! Can't wait!

 

[liberty2701]

Is that the real price? 249 dollars. That is steep.

 

[b6graham]

consistent with the other PRS matches

 

[Redeye3]

Worth ever penny, last year was awesome

 

[Tommyd184]

Anywhere up there to confirm dope at distance before the match?

 

[b6graham]

Anywhere up there to confirm dope at distance before the match?

idk if there's public access to the specific courses of fire or even close geographically outside of Pemi which isn't super close. if there are i'll shoot it though

 

[Redeye3]

Anywhere up there to confirm dope at distance before the match?

Yes right where u park, they'll have set times when u can sight-in

 

[Redeye3]

For distance you'll have to take a Ridgeline shooting class, there are 2 before the match. $$$

 

[Tommyd184]

Yes right where u park, they'll have set times when u can sight-in

Thanks!

 

[liberty2701]

Ridgeline have any luck with their shooting park?

 

[Redeye3]

Ridgeline have any luck with their shooting park?

Not that I can confirm, I heard they were looking for another location.

 

[Tommyd184]

Any gear suggestions for this particular match?

 

[Redeye3]

All weather gear, rain/etc. good backpack/rifle sling.. gear gets carried with u and it can be in some difficult terrain, up mountains paths/down etc

I slung my rifle last year but I picked up a gunslinger pack shortly after

 

[Tommyd184]

Thanks... I planned on grabbing a gunslinger backpack anyways, this just solidified my decision!

THANKS, I was on this yesterday waiting till it went live for Regs. Only 20 shooters allowed, well over 1/2 is filled by now. Any shooting on that mountain is worth it.

Disregard that 450 round count, owner told me 150/200max

 

[liberty2701]

Any insight as to the number of rounds needed for the Dalton PRS match? About how many rounds will be past 1000 yards?

 

[liberty2701]

What about the elevation in Dalton?

 

[Redeye3]

last match there wasn't a lot past 900, but there was definitely two stages out to 1200. Biggest issue there is reading the wind, you're shooting through Tree paths so it's tough to gauge and extremely tough to spot impacts considering there's no visible dirt in back of the targets. Round count will be the normal 200 but bring 250.

I'll check my notes on elevation

 

[Redeye3]

Elevation was around 900ish

 

[liberty2701]

Great. I will see you at Pemi today.
