RangerTrace Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 I just purchased my first PRS style rifle and would like to enjoy a forum dedicated to that sort of shooting. What's your favorite?  Thanks,  Trace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonytheTiger Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 Not Snipershide. Used to be a great place for info but now its mostly an online bar fight spurred on by the mods and site owner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Freeman Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 Snipershide is ok, you just have to know who is full of crap and who isnt. Â The same with every forum known to man. Â There is a ton of technical knowledge there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

falconpilot Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 Take a look at accurateshooter.com - lots of good info, good people there.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b2948kevin Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 Snipershide is usually the go-to. It's full of a bunch of a_-holes though, so just prepare for that. I wish there was another resource that was as focused because everyone I know would jump ship in a second. Â Remember that there's probably not another class of shooters who are as anal retentive as the PRS guys. It's probably the most tedious discipline.

Alamo Precision Rifles 20" 6.5 Creedmoor, MullerWorks barrel, Trigger Tech trigger, McMillan stock and trued Remington 700 left handed action with bottom metal of some kind that I can't remember. It's kind of a PRS/Hunting hybrid. Putting a Athlon Ares 4.5-27 on it. Not a top shelf optic, but won't hold me back.

The only top level competitors that seem to be still active are the ones that have to rep sponsors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frankly Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 (edited) 10m air pistol is worse than BenchRest  Sniper's Hide is 90% BS and none too subtle advertising for their friends.  Best thing is to go to a match or a class, hands on will impart 100x the knowledge 100x faster and save you money too.  What I find about a lot of niche forums is that you get a lot of peer pressure to buy and even when you are trying not to, it worms its way in and all the sudden your practical $1000 scope becomes a $3000 scope because it really must be $2000 better.  Frankly for technique and gunsmithing YouTube is the king, hope they don't censor guns.

b2948kevin Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 I have generally found the F Class guys to be more friendly, but I have only shot a couple of F Class matches, so who knows... Â Basically, SnipersHide is full of a bunch of a_-holes. Nobody is disputing that, I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Freeman Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 Which is exactly why I say that there is ton of good info there, you just have to avoid some posters. Â Hell, I might be one of the guys to avoid. Â I dont know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TonytheTiger Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 I was close to buying a 223AI barrel after seeing you do it, then I got distracted and went 6mm Grendel instead. Might still do an Ackley someday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aggrofish Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 Meh SH is worth it if for nothing more than the classifieds. I've scored some really great deals there on glass. Accurate shooters is harder to spot the guys who are full of it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree with Kuan. Great environment, everyone was helpful and patient. I shoot allot of 3 gun and other action shooting sports. So I am pretty understanding of guns and competition. Really recommend Triple C and this match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
