The Precision Rifle Series governs modern precision rifle competition by standardizing rules, divisions, scoring, and season structure. PRS sanctions one-day regional matches and two-day national-level events, all of which feed into an annual points race and championship finales. Matches are built around timed stages that force shooters to engage steel targets from improvised positions at extended distances, typically 300–1,200 yards. This format emphasizes real-world skills, ballistics management, wind reading, positional stability, and efficient movement over static benchrest accuracy. PRS has become the dominant competitive pathway for civilian, military, and law enforcement precision shooters.
