Frequently Asked Questions

How can I make my PRS training more intentional and effective?

To train intentionally for PRS, plan your range sessions by identifying specific skills to focus on beforehand. Utilize a 100-yard range for accessible practice, focusing on fundamentals like trigger control and positional shooting from various stances using a bench and tripod.

What are key shooting fundamentals for PRS competitions?

Key fundamentals for PRS include a clean trigger press, which means applying steady pressure without disturbing the rifle's aim, and mastering free recoil, allowing the rifle to move naturally after the shot without excessive grip pressure.

How important is positional shooting in PRS training?

Positional shooting is critical in PRS. Training from various positions like kneeling, modified prone, and standing, both from a bench and with a tripod, helps you adapt to different scenarios encountered in matches and improve stability.

What kind of targets are best for zeroing and positional practice?

For zeroing, use targets with small dots. For positional practice and assessing performance shifts, targets with 1.5-inch diameter circles at 100 yards are effective, as they clearly reveal accuracy differences between stances.
