When is the next practice/shoot?
I managed to do this at 500 impressed myself first time shooting that far. This was laying in the prone.
Great job! I am going to try to do the June 17th Frontier day and see how I do.
Nice shooting.

then you're all ready for their next prs match, aug 18 & 19!! showing only ten spots left.
what rifle are you using when you compete?
i have a h-s precision HTR bolt gun 26" in 6.5 creedmoor, it's now in a mpa chassis, the stock that came with the h-s was too bulky. i also have a les baer monolith ar-10 in 308 24" and just built (assembled) a 224 valk in a mega billet upper & lower with a rainier ultramatch 24" bbl.
the good/great news is there are some pretty good sub $2k and even close to $1k rifles out there that will get it done. of course, nice glass is on top of that. having nice gear is nice, but it's definitely more the shooter than the gun.
If I got serious about PRS I might to 6.5CM AR. I’m wondering if anyone uses 6.5 Grendel.
doubt many if any are using the grendel in "regular" prs out to 1200yd matches. guessing at least some are using in the gas gun matches out to 800 yds.
Got a chance to do Frontier Sunday today. Hot and sweaty as a hogs balls. But other than that still fun to get some good DOPE in varying conditions. I proved two things. 1) My 6.5 ballistic calcs from the Kestrel were spot on. 2) I should expect to ring steel at 815yds using 5.56 from an AR-15.
Took another MDS member who popped his cherry first time past 200yds. He had a great time and exceeded his goals for the day.
He can tell the rest of the story once he’s allowed out of the MDS Doghouse.
Guess who got help to log back in???
I was with ToolAA on Sunday and was very pleasantly surprised my TC Compass in 6.5CM w/Vortex 3-9x40 was able to bang steel out to 1060yds.
I have the distance bug now, and have a feeling it will get expensive.
Welcome back. We did have a good time and we’ll do it again. That rifle was surprisingly good. Sign up for a Bang Steel class with Dan Newberry. He preaches that you don’t need expensive gear to be a great long range shooter.
