Episode Details

What happens when you remove the restrictions…
 and let shooters compete with real-world setups?
In this episode, we break down a brand new rifle match format tested in Arbuckle, California — designed to push shooters closer to real hunting scenarios while opening the door for more competitors, gear setups, and strategies.
This isn’t just another match recap.
 It’s a look at where shooting competitions are headed.
We cover:

• The “range & engage” format and how it works
• Why removing restrictions creates better shooters
• New stage designs (multiple glassing positions, vital zone targets, hit/miss scoring)
• The handicap system balancing weight + power factor
• How this format could influence future gear, rifles, and competition rules
• Why simplicity, adaptability, and real-world application matter more than ever
If you shoot PRS, hunt, or just want to understand how competition is evolving — this is one to watch.
