How A Beginner Can Shoot Like A Pro Shooter (Without Buying Expensive Gear)
Thinking about getting into Precision Rifle Shooting (PRS) but not sure where to start—or worried you don’t have the “right” gear? In this episode, we break down what actually matters when entering PRS competitions, straight from experienced shooters and match directors who’ve seen hundreds of competitors come through their matches.
We cover:
- The best calibers for new shooters (and which ones to avoid)
- Whether you really need to reload—or if factory ammo can work
- Minimum rifle, optic, and accuracy requirements
- Gear you can borrow vs. what’s worth buying
- How to upgrade gradually without blowing your budget
- Why PRS has one of the most welcoming communities in shooting sports
- What match directors want new shooters to know before showing up
If you’ve ever thought: “I want to try PRS, but I don’t think I’m ready yet…” This episode is for you.
Whether you show up with a factory rifle, borrowed gear, or just to watch—the hardest part is signing up. Everything else can be figured out along the way. Drop your questions in the comments or reach out if you’re thinking about your first match.
