Precision Rifle Series (PRS) is a long-range and precision rifle-based shooting sports organization. The Precision Rifle Series is recognized as the leading organizing body for local, regional, national, and international precision rifle matches, including comprehensive score tracking and competitive structure. The number of active competitors has increased from 164 in 2012 to over 20,000 by 2025.
The competition seeks to find a balance between speed and precision, and targets can both have known (KD) and unknown distances (UKD). Shooting distances can vary from between 10 and 1,200 meters or yards, and thus the competitor needs to have good knowledge of their firearm's ballistics. The primary focus is on long range shooting, and a competition usually consists of several courses of fire. Each course usually has a set maximum time (par time), and the shooter is awarded points according to how many targets they manage to hit during that time. Targets presented are usually relatively small and made of steel to simplify scoring. In the PRS-series for instance, usually between 0.3–0.9 mrad (30–90 mm at 100 m, or approximately 1–3 MOA).
