We’ve all missed a shot or two… Been there. Here's a tip that helped keep me on target. It's something called “Truing Your Rifle”. The issue wasn’t you—it was the data!

It's basically a process of confirming your data so it's on when you need it on.

Check it out!

 
In this video, we guide a new PRS shooter, Mari, through the process of shooting a skill stage, helping her improve her positions and make clean, consistent shots from the barricade. Whether you're a beginner or looking to refine your skills, this video will provide you with the tools and knowledge needed to succeed at your next PRS match.

Why Am I Missing My Shots?

I just upgraded to a new barreled action, scope, and chassis, but I'm struggling to stay on target after each shot. I’m having trouble spotting my impacts and misses, and I’m still pulling shots.

Here’s the good news: it might not be a skill issue—it could be a rifle setup issue. In this video, two pro shooters with completely different rifle setups swap rifles and demonstrate how dramatically an improperly set up rifle can affect your shots. They’ll also show you how to identify the issue and make the necessary adjustments to get back on track.
