SHOT Show and F Class?

[F Class John]

I obviously couldn't do the whole show but I asked up and down a couple rows asking if anyone knew what F Class was. A lot people didn't want to be on camera but I'd say the responses were about on par with those I have on camera and I thought everyone would enjoy this quick video.

Shows how clueless people in the shooting industry are.
If it's not related to an AR or PRS

Is Prs really that popular?

 

[Eagle Six]

That is surprising to me. At a typical hometown gun show maybe typical results, but at the leading industry show hummm! Thank You for doing it and posting.

 

[urbanrifleman]

Interesting prototype males.

 

[F Class John]

Is Prs really that popular?

Yeah, without a doubt. I win a national level match and get a certificate for some free Sierra bullets and 50 bucks but someone can win a national level PRS match and go home with a check for $20,000. There’s way more money in PRS than most of the other rifle disciplines.

Hmmm. I wonder why? I mean not to pick what you said, but more money doesn't mean more popular (as in number of shooters).

I have almost zero PRS shooters as customers.

But they do love to spend that money. Fo sho.

Many of those folks couldn't tell you what PRS is either would be my guess.

Competition shooting represents such a tiny sliver of gun owners that we loose perspective here.
I would bet 99.9% of those same folks have never been to a competition of any sort.

Old man shooting. Haha

I'm not sure I want to be associated with these people anyway. Honestly.

A firearms show in Las Vegas. Like having a devotional in a brothel.

You wouldn't want to chat with Cortina?

Attendance is amazing, we may get 70-80 shooters at a lr national where prs can draw 250 shooters.

 

[Dimner]

Don't forget about 3 gun. You can ammo dump AR mags and 9mm mags and win money for it!

I bet that's double the popularity of PRS

If I had my way the most popular would be silhouette

That's odd. I figure you have a decent sized customer base from snipers hide?

I thought snipers hide was all about PRS. Is there some other competition they prefer over there? I'm probably jaded and lumped all that running from station to station with audio industry tripods as shooting rests as PRS.

I'll throw shade right at my own self. I don't really get the draw to almost any of the shooting competition formats. They are either far too niche, equipment races, or just plain goofy (running to and fro dumping your shotgun or AR in a plastic barrel). Man, I'm becoming a total curmudgeon. I'm probably secretly envious of how much fun people have at those events

Pretty much what happens any time you talk about shooting while not at a competition range.

I bet I haven't sold half a dozen items to guys from Snipers Hide in three years.

Oh! I thought your barrels did really good in a test they did. Weird group over there.

1st or 2nd out of 30 something barrels....

I guess they didn't believe him.

PRS nerds understand marketing and hype. It's the crossfit of the shooting world.

They'll be selling tactical grape smugglers and matching nipple rings soon.

OK, that was mean. I would probably participate in PRS if I were 20 years younger. I may even do a match at some point but I barely have the time required for F Class, Sporting Clays and fishing.

They show up in mass, I wish I could say the same for LRBR.
