2016 Practical Precision Rifle Challenge

https://www.facebook.com/PracticalPrecisionRifleChallenge/

The PPRC is proud to announce a new match for 2016 run by match director Ryan Castle and Seth Dingle.

This match will be held Oct 22nd and 23rd at the awesome Rockcastle Shooting Center in Kentucky.

The intent of this match is to not only test marksmanship skills but also gear management, time management, and other practical skills.

Match Concept
This match will a true test of a shooters ability to engage targets at distance with a precision rifle in a practical setting. This match will differ from most others in that the shooter will not know all details about the stage before starting. Blind and Semi-Blind stages will be used. This will allow us to test the shooters full ability rather than just a scripted shooting response.

Stages will consist of at least one or possibly all of the following challenges:

1- Targets must be located by the shooter. A clear and defined left and right limit will be given but shooter must use target detection techniques to locate and engage targets.

2- Target range must be determined by the shooter. LRF, Miling, etc... the shooter will need to determine range on some stages. A LRF will be available at these stages in the event a shooter does not have one.

3- Gear management. Shooters must take all gear from start of each stage to the end. A separate holding area before and after the stage will ensure a fair atmosphere and all shooters complete the stages on equal terms.

4- Establishing non standard positions. Shooters are free to use all carried equipment to improve shooting position. Bags, packs, tripods, etc... if you carry it you can use it.

This is by no means a gear race. In fact quite the opposite, most shooters already have all gear needed for this match. The intent is to test the shooters ability to use this gear on the clock while they complete the stage.

Still lots of spots open in this. This match is a reasonable drive from the border.

I would definitely go if I wasn't already registered for a match in Texas the weekend before.

You get to shoot across a golf course (how things should be!) Same location LRSE was at, which makes it easy for them to do blind stages.

This was a great match!!! I love field fire and blind stages. Nothing too wild it was a very simple concept. Each stage had 5 targets shoot at them 2 times, hit or miss move to the next target. You had 4 minutes on the clock shooting and 4 minutes in the on deck circle to study the written material describing the stage, targets etc. You could see the on deck circle form the holding area but could not see the shooting position from the on deck circle. You had to carry everything you intended to use with you through the stage. There where no gear limitations and if the stage required a laser or any other support equipment that stuff was provided. Put this match on your list for next year!
