Got the WIEBAD cheek cover and am very happy with it. Much softer feel and still has the grip . Fastening Velcro works a treat. Just need to get the hoptic one removed. 
cheers all 

Nice.. based on that I may have to invest in one!

Time to take the hit and go for it. 

Let me know what you think!

And too get the thread back on topic.. my AT looks different to the last time i posted it on here.

Image links through to my shooting instagram if anyone would be so kind to give it a follow 🤙

Yep that’s the one. Not too happy with its coverage of my AT cheek piece and did a review on the sporting services website which didn’t get put on their pages . They’re happy to put good reviews on tho . 
WIEBAD one looks good but it is a fair price £50 plus £8 postage, any info regards cheaper places .

cheers

Yeha I guess the Wiebad one will probably never fail hence the price compared to the Hoptic USA one which I guess is meant to be a little more expendable.

Use heat to apply the Hoptic - seems to make the adhesive ,,, more adhesive 😂

Yeah I used the wife's hairdryer on it for a good while. 

Do you have the Hoptic USA one?

If so i have that too and it does seem.. temporary.. albeit its lasted a year or so so far it does show signs of coming unstuck.

I actually miss my AT. I swapped it for an AX308. The classic look of the AT just has a touch of class. Also the plastic is far better to hold in freezing conditions.  

I use my AX for everything, I just wish it was  a few pounds lighter. 
 

The AT-X uses the same action as the AX308 and AT so any issues would be across the board.
 

I believe production of the AT is to stop from something I read over shot show reporting.  I haven’t had it confirmed. I’m certainly not a fan of the new generation of AX MK111 

 

 

Yeah I'm not a fan of the AX.

Agree with the aesthetics of the AT. Iconic!

Maybe that's their long term plan?

I thought it was confirmed at Shot Show this year that the AT was going to be discontinued?

Just now, geek said:

Also, unless you are competing in precision rifle competitions 

I am 😉 

I want a long action at some point. Will probably look elsewhere than AI for that as I couldn't afford an AXMC.

Shane they didn't do an ATMC.. that'd have been the dream! 

I have just purchased one. What do you want to know?

Really easy to set up!

I was quite impressed with the video quality.

The only thing I've found as a negative so far is that the caps that screw on top over the Focus and ports are a bit fiddly.

I love my AT.. but seeing all these AT-Xs makes me want one 😍

I mean depending on the brand and the ease of removing the barrel you could just do that.

But generally I do nothing.

Yes. Or if you're an NRA Member with some experience already in PRS.

The training days are well run and once the basic safety things are covered there's plenty of positional shooting and usually a mini match.

For anyone who's interested, I've started a Instagram and YouTube channel to document my journey into PRS (and probably other shooting too).

I would appreciate a few likes, follows, subs etc.

Depends on what injuries you're intending to treat.

If you're talking from a paper cut to a gunshot wound then it can get quite extensive.

For gunshot wounds I'd say minimum is a pressure bandages and tourniquets. 

Then get some training (assuming you haven't got any).

Then you're into the realms of:

Chest Seals

Haemostatic Agents like Celox

OP Airways

I think it is good value, the thread  shows that people are keen to get involved in this sort of shooting and there have been a few attempts in the past. This may make you smile.

It does indeed. Having read the rest of this thread I was just looking for a ‘bite’ 😀

Ah... Good sport! I usually use Facebook for that though 😅

Albeit I have just seen someone saying that a morning shoot at Bisley has gone up to nearly £100...

So a whole days PRS shooting for £100 seems quite good value I guess.

Well speak to them and tell them why you are suitably experienced...

Says it there in black and white.

" If you are using your full NRA membership to enter these events, please have prior agreement with C2 Precision that you have the experience to attend these matches."

Otherwise it's probably the same as everything else you shoot with the NRA and they want due diligence with safety completed before hand.

If anyone was interested it'd gone live on C2 Precisions website.

To be honest that’s a very fair comment. 
 

who cares what you bring. Just shoot and enjoy it. 
 

although some of the comps have become a little too obscure with their obstacles and time limits. 
 

keep it simple. Encourage easier targets for greater rounds on target for the less practiced.  Hits on target create bigger smiles. Not everyone has the time to practice and these comps are often the only opportunity to shoot off their bellies. 
 

The pro’s course of fire needs to be different from the “also rans” just MHO. 

Or maybe even instead of different courses of fire just have a larger and a smaller plate on each stage for the amateurs and the pro's.

Hi JC

Yes i think this is where my issue is.

As everyone knows the NRA can pull the plug Anytime they wish.

The current PRS events are way outside my shooting budget, so the Joining fee my be just wasted.

If there was no "joining Fee" i would booked for 1 (At Bisley)in the new year. 

 

Yeah I 100% get that. I only really started shooting because I wanted to shoot PRS matches. So for me paying the £50 membership fee and £100 range fee is cheaper than paying the range fee, travel and accommodation for Pro Shoot or Orion.

What distances are these events 

 

Varied. But as Mat said on this training day those were the distances.

24 minutes ago, Mat said:

For me £100 for a shoot is quite a lot, but much easier to get to than Orion and it's not something I'd do too often,

That said, there needs to be banks of sand behind the plates, the splashes were barely visible and deceptive in that the strike could be way behind the target but visually below it meaning high shots appeared low. The furthest plates were just in front of the mantlet and there was sand behind them but no splashes visible.

Yeah, misses were near impossible to spot. In the summer when the grounds dry and dusty that might be easier I guess.

Does not really need to be that expensive. The organisers have a notion that PRS is so different to any other positional shooting discipline that additional training is required to allow people to compete at Bisley and that it’s an NRA requirement when the current SCC scheme is based on firearm type and on discipline. However, the organisers have the right to set their own preconditions so if that’s what they require then you either comply or don’t take part. 

So my understanding is the training requirement was made by the NRA as they did not feel any discipline under the current SCC would automatically deem somebody safe with PRS.

After the trial period this year I think the aim is that it will become as discipline that you can have on an SCC.

Yes, i was also interested, as it is at Bisley.

But dont think i wont to pay a joining fee, just to see if i like it.

And from what i have been told by the NRA this is still all a trial, so if the NRA say no at some point, Then what?

Again I think the necessity to join C2 is due to the fact its not being officially run by the NRA.

If it's not adopted by the NRA it will continue to be run by PRS UK and GBPRA amongst other Rifle Clubs across the country no different to how it is now.

I know Josh hosts his own PR22 matches in Devon.. unknown if he will be running any at Bisley. Drop him an email I guess? 

For anyone who is interested specifically in PRS shooting or those who may already regularly shoot at Bisley that weren't aware... PRS has landed at Bisley.

The first training session took place yesterday hosted by Josh of C2 Precision and it was fantastic. Josh with the assistance of some seasoned shooters got me up to speed in no time at all and despite it being a training/familiarisation type day, there was still plenty of trigger time.

There is another training day penned for January with a full match scheduled for February.

If anyone is interested drop Josh an email on sales@c2precision.co.uk
