We are limited to 150 participants, that is the maximum number we have received permission for. Once we hit that number, we will take a standby list if possible. There will likely be a registration cut-off date which will depend on when the base needs certain things by. I don't have that info back from the base yet.

Thanks! Sounds good

How about Filming and taking pic's from the Match on the Base? Any Restrictions on that, since it is a Military base?

There will be a clinic the Friday night before the match for people who have not shot this type of match to bring them up to speed on saferty proceedures and how the match runs. This is in addition to the safety briefing for the match.

It is with great pleasure that I announce the first Canadian Precision Rifle Series points race match. We have received the base commander's approval to hold the event on the artillery range of the 4th Canadian Division Training Centre near Meaford Ontario.

FAQ

Q: Can I get a copy of the course of fire (CoF)?

No. CoF in PRS matches is always different at every match. The only stages that are known in advance are the PRS skills stages in the rulebook. There are 4 of them, and 2 of them will be in the match. A match booklet will be given out to all of the competitors Friday evening with descriptions of each stage. It will contain a brief description of the stage, the target engagement sequence, the number of shooting positions, the number of shots on each target and the distances of each target. Here is an example from another match (we don't have a shoot house):

Shoot House Shuffle

Prep time: none
Stage time: 1.5 minutes

Stage Description: Your time will begin once you break the threshold of the second flood door. Starting at the base of the stairs, on the command of "Engage" shooter will move up and engage T1 , T2 and T3 with 1 round each from 4 different positions. Targets must be engaged in that sequence at each position. Load in your first firing position.

Points possible: 12 (1 point per hit)
Round count: 12

Distances:
T1 - 100% IPSC - 714 yards
T2 - Head Flapper - 234 yards
T3 - 66% IPSC - 455 yards


You won't know what the stage looks like or what the shooting positions are until you get to the stage and the RO gives the stage briefing. Some people prepare their trajectories the night before. Others do it after the stage briefing. It's up to you.

Q: Will there be any unknown distances (UKD)?

No. All of the distances will be listed in the match booklet.


Q: I'm shooting a 223/308, will it be enough to shoot this match?

The majority of stages will be between 300 and 800 yards. Only one or two will be at 1000 yards or more.


Will I need to walk, run or carry my gear over large distances?

No. All of the stages will be on two artillery pads. Some stages will only have positions changes on one barricades. Others, may require 5-10 yards of movement at most.
*Multiple stages will be running simultaneously.


Will I be shooting both days?

Yes. You will be in a squad. That squad will move to a stage and each shooter will have a turn at shooting the stage. When all of the shooters in your squad have completed the stage, the squad will move on to the next stage and repeat the process. All squads will be shooting on both days. There will be one person form each squad shooting at any given time.


That is the the Precision Rifle Series?

The Precision Rifle Series (PRS) is similar to NASCAR. Most of the races that make up NASCAR existed before NASCAR. They were individual stand alone events that were similar, but operating independently. NASCAR came along as way of bring them all together and compare their results.

PRS is an organization that maintains a points system that is superimposed on precision/tactical matches of a certain style, size and quality. It takes scores from top level "US-style" precision/tactical matches and normalizes the results with the goal of ranking the competitors and inviting the best ones from all around to compete in a championships match at the end of the season. This is done through the PRS points system (the Points Race), where the match results of PRS members are normalized to a 100 point score (PRS points) based on shooter ranking in the match and the number of competitors. The 3 best matches (ones that awarded the highest PRS points) for each member are summed together and the members are ranked base on the result. The top 75 are invited to participate in the Championship/Finale match at the end of the season.

For more information about PRS points and rules see:
http://www.precisionrifleseries.com/rules-and-scoring.html


Q: Do I need to buy a PRS membership to shoot this match?

No.

Ignore above. I'm replying to OPs statement that nearest airports are Pearson and
Buffalo.

Well, the real and original Billy Bishop Airport is just to the east of Owen Sound, about 20 km from the base.

Perhaps organizers can twist the Transport section to provide shuttle service.
 
The deadline for registration is July 28th. So get on the Web site and register. You do not need to be a PRS member to register. All levels of shooters are welcome.
