Just signed up for my first CRPS event.Any tips?

[swish]

Hey guys, just signed up for my first vent in Aylmer. I’ll be shooting in production with a savage mark 2 and a covenant 4-16 ffp scope.
I’ve been out shooting at distance a couple of times, out to 300 yards12”-20” steel and an 8” diamond at 200. I’ve made up a few other target sizes to vary size and distance. Mostly shooting prone, standing at a few closer targets. I’m planning on building a small barricade that I can practice on.
Any other tips or suggestions?
Thanks a bunch
Dave

Have fun and ask lots of questions.

Pay attention to those that shoot in front of you to see what they are doing and if it is working.

Welcome to the sport.

Watch out for them Match Directors. You get laughing so hard you gotta stay focused!

It’s the most fun you can have with a Rimfire AND yer clothes ON!


Cheers, Barney

Sounds like you’ve got a great setup there Chris. I’m in London for a few days, where do you buy your ammo? I might try and get to Bulls eye before we leave.
Cheers.

Bullseye has a ton of prs style stuff. Worth a drop into

I order online usually, target shooter products or tesro are good choices

Try to talk to Ken if you get to Bullseye. Experienced PRS shooter.

Ken's running a PRS intro course at EESA to help new guys on-ramp quicker and make their first match go smoother.
My advise would be practice shooting from non-prone positions and dryfire! That'll help you know your equipment well before you're at the match.
Also, the better handle you have on your ballistic data, the more targets you'll hit.
I haven't been to a rimfire match, but if it's like the centerfire matches I've been to, there will be lots of guys there willing to help you out!
See you at the match.
