So what is Precision Rifle (PR)?

 

This is a fast-moving, practical-style long range shooting discipline where centrefire rifles are used. In this discipline some of the positions you will be shooting from will be less than 100% stable.

​

Shooters are required to engage targets of varying sizes and from different ranges. They will also shoot from different positions including standing, sitting, kneeling or prone.  To make it more interesting, we will throw in barricades (or other props) that you must shoot through, under or over. Some stages will also include rapid (maybe 3 shots in 10 seconds) or snap firing where the shooter is allowed to engage a given number of targets for 5-8 seconds).

​

Matches will typically run for about 31/2 - 4 hours and PR matches at Scottsdale will be shot at ranges out to 800yd.
