Precision Rifle Tasmania
Practical Pistol
Days to Go
PRT Practical Pistol is a dynamic, fast moving pistol shooting discipline that requires shooters engage targets from different positions, under different conditions etc.
Shooters are required to engage targets at different ranges out to a max of 50m. We use both paper and steel targets. Shooters engage targets from different positions including standing, kneeling, prone or strong and weak sides. We will also throw in barricades (or other items) that you must shoot around or over.
We also test the shooters ability to shoot and reload from behind cover. Empty magazines must be properly secured before moving on to the next target.
PRT Practical Pistol matches will typically run for about 2 1/2 - 3 hours over 3-5 stages. Matches are shot over ranges from 5m out to 50m.
Please note that we also shoot PR22 and Prac Pistol on the same day. Normally PR22 is shot in the morning and Prac Pistol in the afternoon.
