The competition is an air rifle PRS event comprising 8 stages, scored on hits within a per-stage time allowance. The event will combine PRS with the familiar, relaxed feel of a sporting clay shoot.
The objective is to make it relaxed and fun, with a competitive element. AGT air rifles will be available at each stage for those without air rifles; however, it is recommended that you bring your own air rifle and equipment. As the event approaches, information will be provided to shooters explaining exactly what they need to get. All air rifles are to be sub 12 ft/lb energy with the selected pellet/slug used, and down to the end user, not to exceed that.
Every air rifle is to be chronographed and "checked in" during a relaxed and open zeroing session at the beginning of the day (coloured zip tie to designate a pass).
Held at West Midland Shooting Ground, Market Drayton, TF9 3LH, the stages will feature a varying number of targets, an exciting variety of props, and dynamic shooting positions. The shooters will start on the buzzer, with bolt back, muzzle up, and move forward to engage a set sequence of steel targets as per the provided course of fire. All stages will be 2 minutes long.

Stages generally consist of 8-12 shots per stage. Times are recorded using a shot timer, and scores will be logged in Practiscore/Ultimate Ballistics. Shooters will have one timed attempt at each stage, and squads must move together. Squads will be between 6 and 12 shooters, depending on the number of entries. Each stage will have a dedicated range officer to explain the details, and spotters will be assigned to each stage as well. The highest total of completed hits across the eight stages will win the competition.
On the day, shooters who wish to be coached and assisted during stages may select "training/targets only." Shooters should notify the range officer if this is the case; their score will not count toward the competition.
Breakfast and lunch will be included on the day, and a prize table of over £6000 worth of prizes will be split across every category, so come and get stuck in for a chance to win!
