@Utectok - not sure those dates for the Precision Rifle Hunting Class are correct. The course I booked onto was/is JUNE 23 - 25, rather than JULY 23 - 25.
Full cost of the course was £937, all in for the 3 days (including MDS course fee, the local range day rates and booking fee, excluding accommodation, ammo, food, which is all supply/ arrange your own).
I went for the Precision Rifle Hunting Course because (without sounding too obvious) its geared to hunting. The others are more PRS focused (F Class on barricades). I think the Progression is part II of the MDS precision course and has assumed knowledge of the MDS method/ teaching.
The Hunter course seemed to be a good balance for my purposes (and the dates work well from familiy perspective)
Great info. Thanks.
I’m having trouble deciding what course works best for me.
I filled out the online questionnaire and it seems to think I’m Expert 😂 which I wouldn’t class myself as!
Definitely the Hunter side of things.

I asked them and they said both the hunter a progression will be fine for me but like I said more shooting (twice the Ammo required) on the progression which seems to me to be a good thing right?
I have never done one of there courses before so I know nothing about there setup but I do shoot a fair bit and have a reasonable grasp of ballistics
 


So I’m hearing the hunter class is cancelled due to not enough registration? I booked progression and have not heard if it’s been cancelled but that may be a question of time? Anyone else heard anything?
 
Next centerfire match ,,,,,,,?

We hoped to have it in June or July but the dates we have conflict with other, existing competitions elsewhere.

We’ve said we won’t do that as it’s counter-productive. As frustrating as it is.

The reality is that we came to the table late for dates, so we’ve been playing catch up. Will be completely different in 2026.

We have a new venue coming on line, in addition to Gardners, which we are sure you will all be very happy with!

We look forward to announcing that one as soon as we can! With dates at the same time.
 
Wise not to conflict with other events - I’m sure you will be oversubscribed when the next date is announced

Another venue in addition to Eskdalemuir would be great but there’s enough scope at area 4 (location of last event) to not repeat any of the stages and still keep people on their toes

Really looking forwards to the next one 🤘

Yep, confirmed, I received an email from MDS saying it will be moved to next year. Full cash refund offered (or credit note for another MDS event, which I may take them up on as I'll be in USA later this year)

It’s a shame that is cancelled - would have loved to have attended but cannot justify spending that on myself in current financial climate (especially when the family deserve a proper holiday)
 
It’s been a long time coming but we are delighted to announce our second venue for centrefire matches!

The wonderful Orion Firearms Training Range which we know well will provide a fantastic venue for matches!

The team at Orion have worked with us to get the price down as far as physically possible as part of our ongoing effort to bring you affordable shooting! Combine this with our member discounts on ammunition, rifles, optics and more, we hope we are making it as accessible as possible!

 
@NRL Hunter UK I am delighted to see you all at Orion's range which as you say is excellent. Do you think in case I miss future competitions can you email previous attendees when something comes up?

Our plan is to email all members with new matches as they are announced and also put a mailshot out to those who have signed up on the website.

Hopefully we’ll capture everyone then.
 
As we work down the list of jobs to do, we finally got round to pulling together the first of many podcasts!

Professionals we are not, but keeping you all updated and encouraging feedback is massively important to us!
