ASC Illinois Precision Rifle Steel Challenge

Welcome to the Aurora Sportsmen's Club Practical Precision Rifle Page  

ILPRSC Matches is a fast-paced long-range shooting competition that will test your rifle marksmanship skills as you manage various barricades and obstacles to engage targets from 200 - 600 yards. Matches consist of 8-10 stages where you will engage steel targets from different positions and various barricades. Target sizes are designed to be challenging. Target distances are usually known so shooters should have a good DOPE out to 600 yards.

Matches are held every SECOND SATURDAY of the month APRIL through OCTOBER.  Excluding SEPTEMBER due to the ASC Zombie Shoot.  Registration opens up at 8am.  Mandatory safety brief at 8:30 am.  Matches start at 9am.  Matches typically take 3 - 4 hours to complete.  Any time left over we tend to use it as a free shoot.

Scoring:

Match:

Each target impact is worth 1 point.  The shooter with the highest point total at the end of each match will be declared the match winner.  The winner of the match will always receive 100 points and the last place finisher will always receive roughly 50 points.  All remaining field shooters will receive points based on their finish place and match factor. 

Example:

A match has 45 shooters.  Match Factor Calculation 50/ 45 shooters = 1.11 Match Factor. 

1st place = 100, 2nd place = 100 – 1.11 = 98.89, 3rd place = 98.89 – 1.11 = 97.78 etc….

Season:

ILPRSC Points Race:

Shooters top three scores will be added together, including the finale worth double points, to establish the shooters overall season points.  The shooter with the highest number of points for the season at the conclusion of the finale match will be declared the PPR champion!  The finale match will be worth double points. 

This is only the scoring system for the Aurora Sportsmen's Club.  When scores are uploaded to PRS Regional Series, Lost Boys, etc. shooter match points will be formulated based on the scoring systems established for those series.  Shooters should reference the individual scoring systems for the match series they are participating in to understand how your final match points will be calculated. 

Precision Rifle Series Regional Series

The ASC ILPRSC team is also pleased to continue its partnership with the Precision Rifle Series Club Series (PRS Club Series) in 2025. Registered shooters will have access to a series of 1 day club matches hosted at various clubs in the Great Lakes region (Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin, Michigan, and Minnesota).  Shooters will be scored against other shooters in the region with the top shooters being invited to a finale match. More information about the series can be found here: https://www.precisionrifleseries.com/profiles/clubs/GL
