[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 1602082, member: 10291"] Good article! I started participating in PRS competition a few years ago and have since become quite addicted. I t has completely changed the dynamic of my off season(hunting) activity, shifting from simple(and often monotonous banging of steel targets, to a never ending expansion of different shooting positions, techniques, and equipment that has surely added to my LR hunting capability. Next season I will try a new build that blends the two disciplines(below). Their is a major difference between PRS and LR hunting that requires a shift in thinking process, particularly if you are a PRS shooter looking to take up LRH. PRS is a percentage game.
