Was reviewing the rules and videos but still not sure how this format differs from the bolt events.
So in the bolt gun series, you are given targets to hit with so many rds, in a limited amount of time... ie 4 targets, 2rds each, all within 2 1/2 mins. Whether you do it in 1 min or 2 mins 29secs doesn't matter. Just hit the target as often as possible.
For the gas gun, it sounds like you have targets, unlimited rds to hit, but you are shooting against the clock (like IPSC)... the faster to complete the better. Time penalties are applied when a shooter doesn't hit the target or the wrong target
Am I understanding the matches properly?

I also do not have a gas gun, but would very much be interested in more bolt gun matches!
It's more like IDPA rules Jerry, your time + penalties. Fast time wins. Kinda like an IPSC match with a gas gun. Check this YouTube video out by Shawn Wiseman, president of PRS.

WRAS will be hosting 2 PRS style matches at the Edson fish and game Range this year in addition to a gas gun match. Details to follow soon.
They are different. You can shoot a gas gun in the bolt gun series as it is more precision oriented. The Gas Gun Series will have precision, but it will also have stages that are like 3 gun that are fast and where you fire a lot of rounds at closer distances. A boltgun won't be competitive in a match that was designed for the gassers.

I'm sure you guys have already thought of this, but why not just run a separate division for gas guns? Would you change up the course of fire that much going from bolts to gassers?
I'm interested, but can't make any commitments to attend unfortunately.
If I pick up a cheap Sks and sling my bolt gun over my shoulder for the longer engagements, I should be set. No?

You can only use one rifle in the match.
