Our Club & Community

Founded in 2022 by Matt Bishop and Andrew Lind (Gun Sport Trading), B.P.R.C. was created to bring world-class precision rifle competitions closer to home.

We’re a family-friendly club that’s all about:

Safe, responsible shooting
Learning and improving skills
Helping others grow in the sport
Having fun while doing it

The PRS community is built on teamwork — you’ll always find someone willing to lend a hand, share knowledge, or help you become a better shooter.

12 shooting lanes with concrete benches
Targets from 25m to 500m, suitable for all calibers (within limits)

What is PRS?

Precision Rifle Series (PRS) is the fastest-growing shooting sport worldwide. Why? Because it’s:

Challenging and dynamic – no two stages are the same
Community-driven – shooters help each other learn and improve
Skill-focused – techniques apply to hunting, other shooting sports, and even non-shooting disciplines

A typical club match:

Starts with a safety briefing
Runs 6–8 stages
Each stage: 60–120 seconds, engaging 6–12 targets (usually 250–500m) from stable and less stable positions
Scoring: mostly hits on target, sometimes with time as a factor

Gear & Equipment

Don’t stress about gear — just bring what you have and start shooting.

At a basic level, you’ll need:

Rifle with a detachable magazine
Bipod
Scope that dials
Rear bag

Extra gear like tripods, slings, and positional bags can help, but aren’t needed to start. Members are happy to lend gear so you can try before you buy.

Match limits:

.30 caliber maximum
3200 fps velocity limit

Most competitors use .223, 6mm, or 6.5mm calibers for lower recoil and faster follow-ups.

We recommend downloading a ballistic calculator app before the match. Good options: Applied Ballistics, Strelok Pro, Ballistics AE. Don’t worry if it looks tricky — we’ll help you out on the day.

How to Get Started

The best way to get involved is simple:

Come and watch a match – see how it runs.
Help out by spotting or scoring – a great way to learn without pressure.
Shoot a match – use the gear you already have, don’t worry about scores. You’ll leave with a clear idea of what works for you.

You do not need to be a member to shoot your first match or to lend a hand.
