PBR Scores and AAR
By Aaron Gifford
The WEGC PBR (Precision Bolt Rifle) match was held Saturday 4/26/25 on the upper range at the 320 yard line. It rained quite a bit, but we were under the nice shade roof structure out of the weather. With the predicted poor weather, we had light attendance with 3 shooters including myself, both were new shooters to the sport. We ran training drills for some stages before score shoots.
Stage 1 was best paper group, 1 point for 10, 0.9 points for a 9 hit, 0.8 points for an 8 hit. With one shooter not sighted in, we got him sighted in and scored his subsequent hits and moved to Stage 2 the Ladder.
Stage 2, Ladder. Two shots at the designated target from the highest rung you can reach, if starting from rung 4 then move up to any other run on the last 2 shots. Start standing port arms, 2 minutes.
Stage 3, Get Yo’ Ammo, rifle on the ground bolt open mag in. Shooter with one round in-hand, other 9 rounds in a tray approximately 10 feet behind rifle. OTB shooter loads round and engages target, and retrieves one round at a time and engages target. 2 minutes. No one today got through all 10, this is 12 seconds per shot cadence and not many make all 10.
Stage 4, Pick a Target. Start standing port arms MIBB, 2 minutes. With 6 targets set out and 12 cards in RO’s hand each marked with the targets, shoot whatever target is called out (1 popper at 120 yards, 3 targets (small IPSC and medium IPSC and medium popper at 200), and large popper and large IPSC at 320 yards. Two min., RO calls out next target by picking random card, and shooter engages the called out target. Sometimes the same target is called out twice in a row, sometimes shooter gets all different targets, you just never know…
Stage 5, Far-Near. Start standing MIBB, 2 minutes. Engage far target from prone, near target off barricade, repeat until 10 rounds or time-out. Far target was 10” popper at 320, near was 4” popper at 120
Stage 6, Barricade. Start standing MIBB. Four positions any order (similar to PRS timed barricade). Engage far large IPSC from each position of the barricade, 2 shots each position.
PBR will be taking a break until the upper range project is finished. The weather should be improved then and you are invited to come try your skills.
