This match is somewhere between PR and PRS and a Steel Challenge. It’s great training for PR, PRS and Long Range Steel and is a lot of fun as well as being challenging. You may use any rifle that is appropriate as long as it’s on the approved Caliber list below. There are no wind flags, no sighters and you compete as a single shooter (not a team.
Rifle can be any weight, you may use all modern electronics on the firing point, and all modern shooting equipment and aids, including bi-pods, shooting bags and tripods.
Your 2 best scores out of 3 matches count towards the Championship. Each match contains 6 stages, with a total of 60 points for all 6 matches/stages.

- MATCH CANCELLATION BY MILITARY:
If the event is cancelled by the Military because they need the Range, then a full refund will be issued, if an alternate date does not suit you. This is not common and usually done well in advance due to CAF Range requirements.
- Because we shoot on a Military Range, Range Control can shut us down for a high Fire Index, Lightning or Storm Warning etc. This is out of our control, and there is no refund in that scenario. I have seen it happen only once in the last 10 years, but it’s part of shooting on a Military Range, and must be stated.
