Precision Rifle League Officially Launched

[Yorric]

It all sounds a bit like what Thomas Haugland & his cohorts get up to in Scandinavia.

Looks like fun!

If you look at LR Scandinavia you’ll get a good idea of the type of event it is

 

[CarlW]

This sounds like a lot of fun!

I would probably struggle with the time commitment as, like many others, I will be busy shooting unwitnessed one-hole groups off-hand at home.

That said, I reckon I'll try to get to at least one as it feels like one could learn a heck of a lot from this.

Thank you for posting.

Kind regards,

Carl

This looks good, does anyone know the rules in terms of shooting aids?

 

[Ronin]

The rules are on the web site Tom

Bipod, bag allowed and tripod / sticks to aid support at positional shooting

 

[Edinburgh Rifles]

Sounds good and I'm getting keener! How long is each meet? Just trying to see if I can justify it as a weekend away with the wife if I can find something for her to do nearby!

Now your thinking!

 

[nun_hunter]

One thing I'm not sure of is the factory class does that only include factory spec rifles or does it allow a factory barrelled action in a shop bought factory stock? For example my Tikka CTR in a KRG Bravo chassis or would that be in the open division?

You will be in open division.

fyi , gardners have been sacked off (and they are refusing to refund a lot of competitors who'd paid!)

the final is being held at orion now , all the info is on the website

 

[woody]

Brilliant stuff, looking forward to this!

 

[Ronin]

I understand that Gardner’s have refunded those who have requested it and know at least two persons in that position so think the information posted in the previous but one post is not entirely accurate.

A great shame things have soured within the first few months of the “league” because things could have been very good

The final may well be being held at Orion with one training day (on a Friday) no shooting in the Saturday and the actual Comp being held on the Sunday - not very well organised if your travelling to the Comp and wish to practice and a hell of a long drive for others who only want to shoot the Comp

I guess the area round Powys is pretty so attendees can have a mooch and sightsee on the Saturday

gardners have not refunded me or three other competitors that I know of , so i'm afraid your info is entirely wrong , in point of fact I am sitting here writing out my scc forms

things have been soured by gardners guns , to un-sour things gardners should do the decent thing and refund the competitors money they are holding , very simple really.

your info is a little off the mark regarding the final as well , probably because due to the last minute nature of the changes thanks to gardners it's all a little rushed.

Tiffs PRL is going from strength to strength and is testament to all the hard work he has put in and is growing with new venues next year (never gardners again!)

have you shot it ronin ? we may have met?

The Saturday of the final is an ELR comp. I have entered the Saturday and Sunday comp.

Can’t wait- loved the previous events.

 

[Ronin]

Yes I have shot it at the first ever competition (held at Eskdalemuir) where the league was announced with the two organisers acting in partnership and the league shoot held at Eskdalemuir following which all things changed - so yes we may have met though I tend to speak when spoken to and keep to myself

Two people I personally know had entered and have had their money refunded without any problem for the final which was originally to be held at Eskdalemuir

My information is accurate

I look forward to more precision rifle shoots being held around the country and hope there will be some set up at other venues next year

Two people I personally know had entered and have had their money refunded without any problem for the final which was originally to be held at Eskdalemuir ryan and gary have been! me , Rich , Alex and Will haven't been refunded !

My information is accurate , the Saturday is now the ELR day I believe so maybe it was accurate but things have changed.

I look forward to more precision rifle shoots being held around the country and hope there will be some set up at other venues next year there will be for sure , I think apart from a hiccup this year it's gone quite well

 

[Ronin]

Looking forwards to a Scottish PRS venue which possibly will be somewhere Brad has in mind

I think it would be wrong to comment on the ins and outs of the conception of the competition or “league” if matters were to be discussed within any legal proceedings

I’m glad you agree that people have had refunds which is what I was referring to when I said my information was accurate

The Precision Rifle League will encompass existing events throughout the United Kingdom and equally encourage new precision rifle shooting. The PRL’s primary aim is to provide a positive resource for fellow shooters, helping to develop and expand precision rifle shooting for the benefit of all.

There are several unique precision rifle events across the UK. However until now, there has been no single point of reference in relation to these great shoots. The league is designed to address this, promoting these event and enabling shooters to see their progress on a national level for the first time.

Matches or Challenges as they are better known, will range from Scotland to Cornwall. Individuals can enter as many challenges as desired, with the top two scores from different locations counting towards their PRL Leaderboard place.

The Leaderboard will be split into two main elements: Open Division or Factory Division. After the final round of the year is fired, trophies and prizes will be awarded to the top three in each division. Beyond this there are sub categories such as International, Ladies, Parasport etc.

Additionally if you have made the commitment to attend two separate challenges and thus are on the Leaderboard, you will be entered into the Precision Rifle League Sponsors Raffle. This random raffle ensures no bias and guarantees everyone on the leaderboard (regardless of placing) has an equal chance of winning a prize.

The Challenge Calendar for 2019:

4/5th May – Spring Roundhouse Rifle Challenge

25/26th May – Gardners Guns Challenge

15/16th June – TBA Soon…

13/14th July – Summer Roundhouse Rifle Challenge

7/8th Sept. – Gardners Guns Challenge & Sponsors Raffle

Well you know you have my support , I WILL for def make at least two events next year even if it is to show face , I am looking to go to the States again , would have been this year but Gerald is coming here instead.

 

[Ronin]

Yes I’m also looking forwards to entering some competitions next year.

 

[tackb]

Looking forwards to a Scottish PRS venue which possibly will be somewhere Brad has in mind me too , happy to travel to any part of Scotland for it but i'm afraid gardners will never receive another penny of my money after their behaviour.

I think it would be wrong to comment on the ins and outs of the conception of the competition or “league” if matters were to be discussed within any legal proceedings you're maybe right but unless people are going to be silly again it's all been put to bed

I’m glad you agree that people have had refunds which is what I was referring to when I said my information was accurate , ah ok but the fact remains that quite a few people have paid gardners for an event that isn't happening there now , refunds are in order !

I guess the result of my small claims action will tell us whos right ?

 

[Tom D]

I couldn’t make the first meet at eskdalemuir, I was hoping to go to the September one. I won’t be now obviously. So what happened? What went wrong.?
