Merritt PRS Regional Match - May 2025

EVENT DETAILS

Location:
2348 Woodward Rd
Lower Nicola, British Columbia V0K 1Y0

This is a one day, regional PRS sanctioned match hosted by the BC Precision Rifle League and will challenge shooters of all skill levels. This is our first match at the new venue and it will later be used for the 2 day MDT Midsummer Madness Pro PRS match.

This match will be challenging yet fun and fair, and will be both physically and mentally demanding. Most stages will have some sort of stress involved. Either timed or varying target sizes. There will be many different barricades and natural terrain to navigate through while shooting the match as well. Come prepared! It is not supposed to be super easy. Again, Come Prepared and be ready to have a great time!!

We strive to have minimal down time.

Shooters can expect ranges of 200 yard to 1200 yards. Many targets will be in the 200-500 range.

OTHER INFO
Calibers for the match will be 308 Win and under for rifle. Only short magnums allowed (for steel preservation), so please no 300 WM's, 7mm RM's or the like. Muzzle velocity for your match rifle at 3200 FPS or under.

Round count will be +/- 120 if you get all your shots off. Bring extra for Re-zero, reshoots, practice after the match, etc.
You will be required to carry all your gear with you all day. And there will be some hiking so pack accordingly. If anyone needs extra accommodation please don’t hesitate to ask.

It’s potentially going to be hot and sunny. Come with gear you need to be comfortable, however, you will have to carry it with you all day through ~2km or so.

We will have 10 stages over the course of the day for you guys. It's going to be a blast. We have been working our butts off in the hopes you all have a good time. I think you will.

SCHEDULE
Saturday - 10 stages
Safety brief at 0800, rounds down range at 0845. Providing all runs smoothly and there are no target failures, we'll be done around 1500 - 1600.

ACCOMMODATIONS
You can bring a tent if you would like. There is a large camping area for tents and trailers across the road from the range. We do not have hook ups, so it will be dry RV-ing only. Camping will be open Friday night to come out and get situated if you would like. It is a great time around the campfire with a few adult beverages after the shooting is done.

You will see signs where the camping will take place. Follow the signs.
