Precision Rifle Series

Precision Rifle Series

The Precision Rifle Series (PRS) is a precision rifle based shooting sport derived from practical shooting. The series have a championship style where competitors collect points from matches nationwide, and thereby is ranked across the nation. Top ranked competitors get to compete in the last match of the season which is the "Precision Rifle Finale".

The competition seeks to find a balance between speed and precision, and targets can both have known (KD) and unknown distances (UKD). Shooting distances can vary from between 10 and 1,000 meters/ yards,[1] and thus the competitor needs to have good knowledge of their firearms ballistics. The primary focus is on long range shooting, and a competition usually consists of several courses of fire. Each course usually has a set maximum time (par time), and the shooter is awarded points according to how many targets he manages to hit during that time. Both cardboard and steel targets are used, and the targets presented are usually relatively small. In the PRS-series for instance, usually between 0.3-0.9 MIL (3-9 cm at 100 m, approximately 1-3 MOA).[1]
