Intro to PRS and Beginner Tips

Precision Rifle Shooting (PRS) is one of the fastest-growing shooting sports in the country. It started with long-range centerfire competitions, but as the sport grew not everyone could practice on the 1,000-yard ranges needed. That’s why the Mid-Atlantic Rimfire Series (MARS) was born, to give shooters “a practical/tactical event” to shoot without needing 1,000 yards for a range.

David Luu founded MARS a few years ago to give shooters the same scenarios a hunter or military/LEO sniper would find themselves in. The catch is that instead of shooting a .308 Win, they are shooting a .22 LR. If you’re thinking this is a less of a challenge don’t be so quick to judge. “Shooting a .22 LR at 200-yards is like shooting a .308 at 1,000-yards,” Luu told Guns.com.

The difficulty of the sport, mixed with the affordability of the rifles and ammo, has cause a huge surge in participation. To help beginners get started on their journey, Luu put together a shortlist of beginner tips and tricks for rimfire PRS.
