Iowa Precision Rifle Match (IPRM) - April 2026

Iowa Precision Rifle Match (IPRM) is an Entry level PRS style match. This series is designed to help shooters get started in PRS with a low competition level, low gear requirements, and coaching along the way. If you want to shoot your first PRS style match this is the place for you.
Match Format
These matches will have 6 to 8 stages. Each stage you will have a designated course of fire set by the match director and have 8 to 10 shots at each. The course of fire will give you defined positions you need to shoot from (prone, barricade, tree, roof top) and which target you need to shoot on the stage (Target #1, 5 targets in a row, targets biggest to smallest). The distance to each target will be provided in the course of fire. The stage could have one position and three or four different targets, or it might have four positions and one target. At each stage you will have time before shooting to find each target, write out your drop data, make a preliminary wind call, and create a stage plan to execute the course of fire. Once it's your turn to shoot you will have 2 min to complete the stage. Any shots after 2 min do not count towards your score.
Scoring
Scores are tracked per shooter. (no teams). You will receive one point for each impact on the correct steel target during each stage.
Squads
The morning of the match we'll divide up into squads and shoot each stage together. Shooters in the squad will take turns shooting in the order provided. Once all the shooters in the squad have shot the squad will move as a group to the next stage. Shooters in each squad will be asked to help "judge" the match. Shooters will need to keep track of the 2 min time limit, spot for impacts, and keep score of how many targets are hit. Shooters are encouraged to help the squad with these duties while not shooting to keep the match moving faster.
Suggested Gear (Rentals available too)
We recommend you come to your first match with minimal gear and see what other shooters are using. Don’t spend a ton of money on gear that is not right for this style of shooting. Ask to borrow gear when you don’t have it. Everyone is there to help everyone.
