PRS Match CDTSA Milo Range

Thanks to Ryan, Greg and Shibby for all the work in setting this up. Was a great day.

I think if i had to add anything, it would be assignment of spotting scopes and spotters. It worked out in the end, but there was some confusion sometimes as to who was spotting what..... (yes, i am guilty of that on the first stage).

Otherwise, it did go fairly slick.
 
This was a great match!! Ryan and the crew did a fantastic job of setting up a streamlined course of fire that was entertaining and a lot of fun. So glad to see that this style of shooting is gaining a foothold here in Alberta and Canada. Very enjoyable to see friendly competition and free advice being given out. There were some new shooters and more experienced ones in the group, and I think all had fun.

Thanks to the fellas from Wild Rose Action Shooters (WRAS) for bring down a couple gongs for the table. I will be hanging mine up here shortly and am sure it will hold up no problems even to the .338. Looking forward to the next match!!
 
Great match! My only suggestion would be to group caliber types. .223 and .308 in their own class, the 6.5 super ultra extra short medium action and etc in their own class. Although at 500m it shouldn't be that much of a big deal. Just food for thought.

Great match! Thanks again!
 
Horse96 - Typically at PRS matches there are separate classes. Open, Tactical (.308 and .223) and production (and i believe there has to be a certain number of shooters in a class for it to be separated). However overall standings are head to head and the separate classes are given top 3 recognition within their class. You are right though inside 500m a solid shooter with a .308 will not be at any disadvantage. My partner and I ran 16" .308's at the Kettle Falls team match and it wasn't until we moved past 600m that we started suffering. We still placed well into the top half. I like that these matches are about competing against yourself and pushing outside your comfort zone. If you can learn to read the wind with a .308 you will slay it with a 6.5 or 6mm. No amount of hot rodding will make up for deficiencies in shooting form and knowing how to barricade/positional shoot.

Agreed. Skill is requisite. Which is one more reason to run with the PRS divisions: open, tactical (.308 and .223) and production. Production would be good as new shooters, or shooters on a budget, don't have to commit to annual barrel replacement from shooting barrel burning calibers and expensive setups.

Great match! Thanks!
 
Awesome event! Had a great day shooting. Thanks to all the work of Ryan and Quinn and special thanks to the guys from WRAS for maki the drive down again while bringing treats.
 
I understand the class of .308 and .223, but feel the .223 is not on the same performance level. It's often similar velocities and 75 gr, vs 175gr...

The problem is not enough people shot .223. Josh was the only one shooting a semi this round, and I think there was only one other person shooting a .223 bolt.

For our limited distances, it's skill off barricades/support, and similar to 3g, proficiency of running your equipment that made better scores. That said, even with the limited amount of shooters it's still something to think about.

Also, left behind was a green ammo can with an anodized purple combo lock. My prying eyes appears to be seeing 30cal ammunition inside. Please let me know who left this behind and we'll work on getting it returned.

A huge thanks to Ryan, Quinn, Greg and anyone else who had a hand in putting this event on. It's not easy guys and burns up a lot of time that could be spent doing other things. All of us from WRAS had a great time shooting this matcht (even though this weekend seemed to be amateur hour for some of us....well me). I hope those who received the steel plates enjoy them.

Warning: shameless Self promotion about to be inserted....

If you guys enjoy shooting these style of matches, WRAS will be holding a PRS style match at the Edson range on September 17. You can register for the match starting August 14, email us at wrassignup@gmail.com or visit the web page at wrasalberta.com

Again, many thanks for those that put it on
