Heartland Cornhusker State Games PCSL Rifle July 18th
PCSL Rifle
Max Leograndis, a shooting legend, envisioned PCSL as the pinnacle of practical shooting. His vast experience across disciplines like Multigun and USPSA informed PCSL’s design. It aims to provide a competitive experience that is both familiar and innovative.
PCSL is designed to be an inviting entry point for newcomers. Its structure is simple yet challenging. It focuses on marksmanship fundamentals in a competitive environment. This ensures that even those new to competition shooting can participate and progress smoothly.
This will be a 4 stage, rifle only match (223/556 semi auto). Competitors will engage paper and steel targets from various distances within the stage design according the written stage brief. Scoring is hit-factor (points divided by time), so speed and accuracy matter. If you have shot USPSA, IDPA or IPSC matches this will feel similar in the way the match flows just with a rifle instead of a pistol.

3.20.3. Maximum caliber: .308 Win/7.62x51
3.20.4. Minimum power factor: No
3.20.5. Optics: no restrictions
3.20.6. Suppressors allowed
3.20.7. Bipods, bags, and related support devices are allowed in PCSL Rifle matches in
Competition division only, but not in PCSL 2-Gun matches.
3.20.7.1. Tripods are never allowed outside of PCSL 3-Gun Open division.
3.20.8. No other restrictions
3.21. Practical (PRAC)
3.21.1. Minimum caliber: 5.45x39, 5.56x45
3.21.2. Maximum caliber: .308 Win/7.62x51
3.21.3. Minimum power factor: No
3.21.4. Optics: no restrictions
3.21.5. Magazine load-to capacity: 30+1
3.21.6. Magazines that are capable of holding more than 30 rounds (including drums)
are allowed provided that they are only loaded to 30 rounds at the start of the
stage
3.21.7. Coupled magazines (side by side) are prohibited
3.21.8. Magwells up to 2.000” outer width are allowed
3.21.9. Muzzle Devices:
3.21.9.1. Suppressors allowed
3.21.9.2. Muzzle brakes are prohibited UNLESS used for the purpose of adapting a
suppressor, as long as the suppressor remains attached. A muzzle brake is
defined as any muzzle device that features at least one set of externally visible braking baffles for which the uncompromising purpose is to reduce
recoil force, rather than compensate for muzzle rise or act as a flash hider
3.21.9.2.1. Muzzle brakes which are integrated into the end of a suppressor (like the
SilencerCo Anchor Brake) are allowed.
3.21.9.2.2. A blast mitigation device such as the Surefire Warden or Griffin Armament
Blast Shield that remains attached to a muzzle brake is allowed
3.21.9.2.3. Examples:
■ The PWS PRC Compensator IS defined as a muzzle brake because the
first ports closest to the barrel constitute a set of externally visible
braking baffles. However, the similar PWS FSC Compensator is NOT
defined as a muzzle brake because its baffle set is compromised in
terms of recoil reduction in order to achieve its hybrid purpose.
■ The Surefire Warcomp is NOT defined as a muzzle brake because it
acts as a flash hider with muzzle rise compensating ports, not braking
baffles to reduce recoil force.
■ The KAC MAMS, Precision Armament EFAB and AFAB, and similar
devices are NOT defined as muzzle brakes because their baffle sets
do not have the uncompromised purpose of reducing recoil due to the
pinhole-style gas port design.
■ For any specific muzzle device questions, please send a link to the
product or very clear pictures of the device to info@pcsleague.com
3.21.9.3. No restriction on muzzle device size
3.21.10. Bolt Carrier Groups: Lightened or Reduced Mass BCGs are prohibited. In any
platform, the total assembled BCG mass must be no less than 0.2oz under the
OEM BCG mass of the platform. In an AR-15, the OEM BCG mass is considered to
be 11.0oz.
3.21.11. Tripods, bipods, bags, and related support devices are prohibited.
3.21.12. No other restrictions.
Round count will be roughly 100rds required, recommended to bring 150-200 to account for make up shots.
