PRS Open House/Intro Day - Centerfire & Rimfire

[MC56]

Hi everyone,

I'm happy to announce that there will be a PRS Open House/New Shooter Workshop at Granby on Saturday April 15th. Details below. There will be instructors there from Rifles Only, Inc. and additional help from seasoned PRS competitors. The 1000yd range will be open. Got a centerfire or rimfire rifle? Come on down! This is a unique experience to learn the fundamentals of positional shooting from some of the best rifle instructors in the country (Rifles Only, Inc.) in a relaxed, no stress atmosphere, and FOR FREE! Never hit a target at 1000yds? You will on the 15th! Ask all the questions, learn how to navigate a stage safely, test your equipment, and have a great time doing it! For those who do not have a centerfire and/or rimfire rifle but would like to try the sport before investing, there are a couple loaner rifles available. Happy to answer any questions or point you in the direction for loaner inquiries, please feel free to send me a message. If you plan to attend, please RSVP to the email in the flier below. You MUST RSVP in order to attend.

Thank you,
Mike

Just sent an email to register! I sold my 6.5CM rifle last year and would be using a Ruger Precision Rifle in 308. Hope that's good enough to attend. Might be interesting getting that out to 1000 yards

I shoot a .308 in PRS. It's capable. Bring match ammo.

@MC56 will there be time allowed for seasoned shooters to get dope?

Seasoned shooters who help out can play afterwards. Text me.

I don't think my rimfire is going to make it to 1000 yards, but I'll be there!!!!!

Thankfully, the furthest rimfire target is only 998 yards.

wow, I was worried for a second. 998 should be fine ...

 

[Rockrivr1]

Got a confirmation email back that I'm signed up. Looking forward to this.

 

[MC56]

Haha. I'm not sure how far the rimfire targets will be for this event at the moment, but generally rimfire matches go out to 300-400 yards.

i really want to begin attending those things, sent email, just hope nothing will interfere again. will bring rimfire and 6 dasher.
to have a muzzle brake on a barrel is ok, i hope?

Yes, muzzle brakes are expected unless you want to punish yourself.

 

[nightpoison]

I'm all registered! So excited.

 

[MC56]

dunno where, isn`t it in nra matches where muzzle brakes are not allowed? just shows how much i know about matches and regulations, anyway.
as long as it can stay on - it is great.

Good point. There are some kind of rules around muzzle devices in the F-Class/benchrest world but I know nothing about that. PRS, run whatever you want on the muzzle, no restrictions.

 

[Mudflap621]

I’ll check my schedule and see if I can come hang/help out. Nice to see this happening!

They are not allowed in traditional rifle matches because there are multiple shooters on the line at any one time. It is 100% obnoxious to be next to one of them.
In PRS matches, you are the only person up there shooting, so it doesn't matter.

If anyone is even considering this just go for it! This is a fantastic opportunity. Kudos to those putting it on.

Is there a limit to the number of people registering? Deciding whether to register quick or wait in case something comes up.

 

[Georgiak9]

Really looking forward to this!
Approximately, how many rounds of ammo should we bring?

Granby always has a limit as to the number of shooters. If you're interested I wouldn't wait. I saw this being advertised on FaceBook as well so it's probably going to fill up quickly.

Enough to share when everyone else runs out of ammo.

 

[Chilichonga]

I did talk to the organizer of the event. They're already at capacity. If you are looking to be put on the wait-list? Send an email. There is no specific round count. Bring what you want, you can always bring it home.

 

[northny]

If your interested, get on the waiting list. It’s worth the shot as usually several people have a conflict.

Can confirm, wait list has been activated. I suspect we may have some people drop off so if you are serious about attending, I would recommend still sending an email to get on the WL.

Haha. I'll be sure to bring enough 30-40 Krag for everyone.

 

[Angryceltic]

Just sent my email, saw it late last night and meant to screenshot it to do today and forgot.

Anyone here go to this?

I did and it was well run. Tons of volunteers so the ratio was fantastic. Plenty of time to shoot.

If anyone here was a volunteer, HUGE thanks.

Very glad to hear you had a positive experience. There are a few of us on the forum who volunteered. Hope you achieved some of your personal goals for the day and maybe we'll see you at a match in the future!

 

[Georgiak9]

I went. Everyone there were really good people willing to share their knowledge. It was my first time shooting 1,000 yards. I learned a lot. Including that my hearing protection ear muffs hurt like hell after 5 hours of non stop wearing. Got to invest in some good hearing protection among other things

I would also like to extend a thank you for your time in this event. Really good time!

Like @MC56 some of us were there. We appreciate you guys coming out to see what is we have to offer.

Your first match experience can be quite intimidating. Hopefully, some of the shooters that attended come out for their real first match experience.

The two guys, Chang & Austin, my buddy Chiz and I helped were new shooters.

The smiles on their faces after hitting steel and hearing impact made it all worth it. I think the corners of their mouths hit their earlobes We took one of them out to 956 with a first round impact.

Some of the best people I know are in the shooting community.

PRS22 is just as much fun. If you're looking at getting your feet wet in the sport? It's a great place to get started. We have plenty of matches in the area.

Hit us up if you need more info

Shoot Straight!

I was at the event as well, with the Rimfire guys. Dusty and Bob are fantastic guys, as it also appears the full cadre of people are just salt of the earth.

I ended up at the Reading event today, run by MC56. Way better than my first PRS22 event, but still, tons to learn.
