Thread: What caliber are you shooting F-Open with?

PRS is a totally different ball game.
It's practical shooting, mostly steel targets shot from a variety of positions (stand, sitting etc), with a lot of different barricades or obstacles to shoot from/through, set out isn a series of stages with different targets at different ranges from the same or different positions.

Thanks Beetroot,

Is it possible to get rifle setup that will good for both F-Open and PRS style shooting? If so, can you describe it?

In my very limited understanding I would think that for F-Open you would go for heavier and longest barrel with a very sturdy stock. Not a rig you want to move around with.

For PRS - probably something that is more mobile. Long barrel but not ad heavy.

Or do I have a miss-conception of how the two differ?
