[QUOTE="SteveBurton, post: 3081410, member: 59541"] Lots of good advice so far. Biggest 3 tips I can give you are: 1-Just get out there and do it! You don't need a fancy rifle. I waited way too long to get into PRS thinking I had to have the latest and greatest or the right cartridge, blah, blah, blah. I used an old Rem 700 varmint in .308 win in a Bravo stock with a Strike Eagle scope for years. I think I had less than $1500 in the whole setup. 2-Don't buy a lot of fancy gear just starting out. The PRS group is VERY friendly and other shooters will help you along, let you borrow equipment to try out, etc. If you watch a YT video and think you need the same bag as them, you will probably waste your money. Try out as much stuff as you can before you buy it so you don't have a closet full of stuff that you don't use like me. With all of that said, I don't think you can go wrong with a schmedium game changer bag with heavy fill. The majority of guys I shoot with use one. 3-Safety! Always have your bolt open when moving positions. That will get you a fast DQ. You really only need a rifle, FFP scope with a good reticle (I would do MILs since every other shooter uses that and it makes it easier to adjust when they call your shots), a bipod (Harris is fine), a couple of mags, ballistic app and a way to attach a DOPE card to your rifle. The PRS community is great and just about every person I have shot with has been very helpful and nice. It's been a lot of fun and has made me a better shooter. Feels good when you are ringing steel from 200 to 1000+ yards in a match. [/QUOTE]
