  @shakeyhand No penalties, you sign your bullet hole though so you try not to embarrass yourself by hitting the edge of the board. Offhand shooting with long barrels and sun-sonic bullets is a great way to work on follow through.

  Looking back on this post, best advice I got was grab a game changer, get to a match and have fun. I've made it to 4 matches so far this year, with 2 being 2 day matches. I started out around the bottom 25% of the pack and have been steadily working my way up. Once again my rifle, gear and fundamentals have changed drastically. I'm actually planning on getting my passport in order so I can attend some Matches in Montana next year. Last match at the RFMA Canadian Sharpshooter Classic, I was able to pull off 1st place finish in tactical division and 19th overall. I was no wear near top 10 though lol, and this Jon Pynch guy came in and kicked all our asses by a fair margin. PRS shooting has been a major eye opener for me and is hands down my favorite sport to date.

  We held this event last weekend. We were hoping for 10-12 shooters to show up. We only had 5 but it ended up working out ok as we did a lot of learning on how to set-up/ run the match. Everybody had a lot of fun including a few people that just came out to spectate and watch. I'm working on some plans to continue for next year. I'm thinking of trying to run a league night for 2 nights a month. We would run 2-3 stages and not focus so much on time and more on getting into position, target acquisition/ getting comfortable. I would also like to get some sort of weekend tournament series going where we would run 8-10 stations on a Saturday or Sunday. Maybe 4 or 5 events throughout the summer with some sort of finale.

  Well, first match in and done. My goal was to watch, listen and learn. My plan for the day was to just get hits and not worry about the clock. I shot USPSA for a few years and always worked on the accuracy knowing with time the speed would come. I just didn't want to come in dead last.....which, thankfully I didn't. It was basically the same setup as the Firm/Vortex Rampage about a month ago. I only finished one stage in the time limit. 8 stages total for a total of 100 hits. I sent 51 rounds downrange and connected 21. I wasn't happy with that result, but still had a lot of fun and learned a lot. What I learned... Don't forget you have zoom on your optics, AND don't leave it on the highest magnification for the ENTIRE COURSE!!!! Get hits. Period. Get creative with your bags. Yoga. Yoga might be a good thing if you're old(er),fat, and out of shape and can't bend over as far these days..... Build your own barracade and practice the positional stuff. Take time and build your foundation. I rushed this on all but two stages and struggled terribly to get the rifle to settle. Instead I was muscling it a lot and my shots went every where around target. Still, I had a blast and would have loved to go through the stages again that afternoon. Looking forward to the next one to try to attempt application on what I learned.

  @tackyp said: Thanks for the replies everyone. I should have figured this would mostly be a case of preference, but there seems to be a lot of love for the bungee slings I'll order up a bungee style and see what happens. Thanks also @tscustoms thats a good idea with the bags. I'll have to break out the sewing machine Several of the different bags come that way, the short action precision bags do too

  @rhyno You can get some crazy deals on S&B's right now. For some reason there are several retailers dumping them for significantly less than retail. I picked up a 5-25 with Gen2xr for $2600 a few weeks ago.

  Yup, that thought has also come to mind. One of several reasons PRS isn't appealing to me, to much travel. I know of two that wouldn't be bad, Breakneck in SW Nebraska, And that SD one you ROed last year. But even then, get a PRS membership for two matches? No thanks. It would be neat to shoot, fun, but it's not practical.

  This isn't a new philosophy, but a smart one. The rule has always been spoken like this: Never shoot in a boil. In other words, when the mirage appears to be going straight up... wait. Edited to add: I watched the video in it's entirety and he explains things pretty well.

  There's not much traffic on the road on an early morning Sunday! Sunday was bright and sunny. The morning started off pretty chilly but the heavy clothing didn't stay on long. My stage had a rough start to the morning. Bumpy hills were all around this stage and when the switching wind was flowing over them it had a tendency to swirl. 3 of my targets would have right to left wind, the other two left to right. Just kidding! Now the wind is going the OTHER way for both targets! Some guys really ended up locking onto this and saw what the mirage was doing and did quite well. I ended up with two people who perfectly cleared my stage. Towards the afternoon there was a little break from the sun with some spotty cloud cover. Here is how stage 10/23 looked when it was all said and done!

  Thanks mamlukino, I'll check it out. I do a lot of graphics work on the side and I like to tinker with scaled targets. In the target above, at 100 yards, the bar across the top and right side are both exactly 1 mil while the small squares are .1 mil. I can't shoot from my house but there is a space where I can snap in out to about 60 yards without alarming the neighbors. I randomize sizes of various shapes and put them out and mil them to range for simulated distance. Was considering writing a training app for this but, like everything else, its about the time and money you have to spend.
