Who would be interested in a PRS-style match?

Want to see if there is any real interest before I pester the land owner about this. There is another site on public land that I could use, but I can't drive on there so setting up steel would be a pain. Anywho...

Who would be interested in a PRS style match this fall in the York area? It would be small and friendly, I'm thinking 12 shooters max. There would be a small entry fee that would be donated to the NFOA.

Targets would be steel out to 900 yards, but most would be under 600, and a couple stages would only be 100. There would probably be some pistol integrated into a couple of the stages, but does not count towards points.

This would be a friendly match: spotting/calling/coaching would be allowed on most stages, you could share equipment on all stages, LRFs would be allowed. Youth shooters would be allowed, provided a parent is accompanying them. We would follow PRS rules for safety.

It would be a fun and challenging match, but nothing overly difficult.

If you would be interested, leave a comment.

Feel free to ask any questions, but remember that this is hypothetical at this point, so don't be too specific :)

I'm interested.  I'm guessing holding it on public land could be problematic because you don't have control of the area, but if it's on private land I say go for it.  This will be a good kick in the pants to force me to get my dope out to some long distances.

I think I would interested, but I don't know what it is. I found this

but it doesn't describe the principles of the match.

How about a short description of what this is for we that are
un-educated.  ;D

PRS uses a points based system where you get points from hits. Most targets are worth 1 point. Most stages will have multiple positions and multiple targets. You usually have to go in order, but you can skip a target or position to save time. You usually can not go back and make it up. Most stages are KD. There is usually a set round count per position and target, but some are just total round counts for the stage.

There are max times that are usually pretty challenging. You don't get anything for finishing early. There is normally one stage that is timed, but the time is a tiebreaker only.

The targets are all hit/miss, mostly steel. Alot of improvised shooting and changing positions in a stage.

PRS is a blast even if you don't do that well (I should know). I have a decent idea of how I would set up the stages and you will see some very interesting and fun stuff. This would be a friendly match, shooters can help and coach each other, hell, you could have multiple shooters on one rifle if you wanted :)

One thing about PRS, there are no "standard" stages or real limits to what you will see/shoot. Part of the fun is going in blind and adapting. Expect KD and UKD, alot of improvised positions, 0.5-3 MOA targets, and various craziness.

Edited for clarity, I originally wrote this on my phone.

Hope that answered your questions, let me know if you want any other info.

Here is a video from MRMBC '12. This is a real PRS match, to kinda give you a visual.
