like most things in life, some people will be advantaged because they have a team of friends and family supporting them. doing things solo is hard. nothing you do to the PRS rules is going to change that. it's not hard to make friends at matches.
There was a lot of teaching/coaching at Benchrest matches, even during registered matches, folks always willing to help. If new shooters do not have fun, and sucking at something is not fun, they don't come back.
MOA is easier to comprehend. 1 MOA at 800 yds. Is 8". I really can't understand how anything can be easier..
Same for competition - 200 yards is where you start - that's your initial zero.
Yes, even in Benchrest, where we just had to have the group inside the black rectangle, fine adjustments were beneficial. Same for small critter shooting varmint guns.Most are shooting 1/8 MOA adjustments for even more precision
which is a shame, since back in the day, we had shots as close as 10' or so. at rifles only i assume they still do the stage where they shoot like 800 or 1000 yards off the tower and then shoot straight down 7 yards at shoot n sees on paper ipscs at the base of the tower. knowing your dope up close is important. but for match flow, nobody wants to mess with paper anymore. i detest the "we have to shoot 300 rounds" mentality.You’ll never shoot within your MPBR in a match
yes, either a spotter or his own rifle scopeYes guys , I see what your saying about giving corrections in direct scope adjustments. If the shoot is timed it needs to he that way. This is going to sound dumb to the pros here, but how does your spotter give corrections in mils? Is he measuring the impacts with the reticle in the spotting scope?

Going to meet up this Saturday at noon and shoot. Looking forward to it.Turns out there is a gun club just outside Rockford Al., and they have a 1K range.......... one of the nurse managers at work shoots there, and has shot a 6MM Creedmoor in PRS for a couple of years.
taliv said:at matches, nobody competitive is converting into linear units. we only use the angular unit. we do not care at all how many inches anything is. that is why mil is easier. it's just mil and there's no conversion to it.
Walkalong said:I was really happy with the scope, I like but don't love the reticle, love the glass.
Yes, likely just personal preference more than anything, and too sleepy right now to explain. I am a very picky fellow, that's likely 90% of it. it worked just fine, not too thick, not to thin, easy to hold over, don't understand the little tiny "lines" between 1 Mil/2 Mil, don't care for the extra thick line at 1 Mil on both sides, would rather it matched the others. Don't care for the half mil lines being different on the horizontal vs vertical lines, of the two I prefer the vertical where they are only on one side of the line, but think I would prefer them going across equally on both sides for both horizontal and vertical, just shorter than the mil crosses. You know, picky little stuff. Worked just fine, but I do think the center of the crosshairs are kind of funky and annoying with the hashes one way horizontal, another vertical, and then the little short 1/4 and 1/2 mil hashes between 1 Mil & 2 Mil. The G2 does not have those, I wonder what they added them for?Is it the G3? What don't you like about it?
