    I spent the day at the range (El Campo, TX) last week. I got there mid morning and it was in the high 80's. Humidity was down so it didn't feel bad. By 11:00 it was 100 and it stayed there until I left around 5pm. I walked 12,000+ steps checking targets and general "range stuff". I didn't have any trouble with heat exhaustion. Staying hydrated and out of the sun is the key. I spend time in Big Bend when I can. Every frikken year someone doesn't go home when they hike an "easy" trail in the middle of the day in the summer. They are always found with water. In the right conditions you cannot take in as much water as your body sweats out. It'll sneak up on your...
    My son shoots pistol, 2-gun, and 3 gun matches. He built a cart that he carries his ammo, cooler, and rifles (has a rifle rack) from stage to stage. It also has a piece of aluminum pipe mounted to it that he can insert the pipe of a portable 9' umbrella. His buddies made fun of it in FB. The stopped making fun after a little time in the hot sun lol. He said he can barely find a spot to stand when he takes it to the matches. I don't know anything about PRS matches or how they get from stage to stage.

    Looks like a fun course of fire. My big question is is it just the personal preference of the MD to remove mags while moving positions? I've never experienced that before at any of the PRS matches I've shot. Usually it's just bolts back or gas guns on safe. That heat though. And here I thought it was bad in southern Indiana this past weekend when it was high 80's/low 90's. Us northern folk aren't used to the 100+ stuff. lol Great vid!

    Second time i have watched a rifles only match and i noticed the requirement to remove the mag on movement. All the PRS matches I have shot including the GAP Grind three times we never had to remove the mag just bolt open. Definitely adds a lot of time. I will have to practice that in case I get to shoot at Rifles Only some time. Great video! Every match director runs the way they want so not critiquing just commenting. This would definitely change the PRS skill stage timing.

Side note any advise on 30-30, did find out my gun doesn't like light bullets and leverevolution powder, groups tightened up using 170 gr Speer round nose, and vargat powder.

Just seems a tad unfair for you guys compared to all the others who don’t have to do that. For PRS club match or Pro series match mulligans are not allowed for any PRS matches as of the last couple seasons, and there was a huge stink about it a couple years back or so. Glad to see you and your guys out there representing and shooting some PRS! Looks like they treated you guys to some awesome grub after the match too!

      The risk of an accidental discharge is higher when there is ammo in the gun than when there is no ammo in the gun. Unlikely, yes, but still possible. Those are the rules at Rifles Only, we simply follow them. It's a great place to shoot at.
