About the Precision Rifle Series

The Precision Rifle Series was created to organize a championship style point series race of the best precision rifle competitions and shooters in the nation. Scores are formulated and recorded to track the status, profile and ranking of shooters bringing more exposure to shooters and the sport alike in an effort to grow the popularity of rifle competitions and sport throughout the nation.

PRS had a successful inaugural 2012 season taking in 164 members that participated in the series events. The PRS was able to payback over $20,000 dollars to the Series Finale event to award the top shooters that made it to first ever match you had to qualify to shoot in.

In 2013, the PRS continued growing it’s base of pro and semi-pro shooters while also reaching out to the entire shooting community, starting a club level approach competition series that encourages clubs to recruit members and hold monthly matches in an organized fashion with the goal of shooting along side other clubs in a first ever Club Championship.

For 2014, the PRS will continue to reach out to any shooter who would like to take the next step from just shooting at the range or in the pasture to getting involved in the great sport and friends the PRS has to offer. Visit: https://www.precisionrifleseries.com/
