PRS is all about the props and positions, take those away and you don't have PRS.
Allowances for Old Guys???
Both NRL22 and PRS22 have rules to allow Old Guys to shoot from alternative positions because of physical limitations.
What allowances have you seen. I'm not as flexible as I used to be. If I have to go prone, you might as well throw a pillow down there with me, because I'm going to be there for a while. I can't raise my head enough to see the sights anyway.
I'm curious what you have seen at matches. There is some talk about starting an Old Guys Outlaw match at a local range where props will be used, but modified for all shooters. Maybe props on top of benches where nobody has to go low.

Here are some of the props we have set up for Saturday. Hanging steel targets from 25 yards out to 200 yards. Shoot from the props or the bench with bipod and rear bag. Shooters choice. Shooters will be under cover in case of rain.
We didn't have any idea how many to expect. It was a good turnout. People started rolling in before the 10 AM start and we had steady shooters until about 2:30. We had all levels of experience from beginners to veteran competitors. It was a good day. Some shot the practice stages and some were just learning to shoot rifles at distance. I saw a lot of smiles.
The range is definitely going ahead with regular matches of outlaw steel with tactical benchrest option.
Time for an update.
Powerline Range is going deep down the rabbit hole. Plans now are for regularly scheduled monthly matches.
There will be 5 to 8 stages shot on hanging steel from 25 yards out to 200 yards with corresponding target sizes. Stages will be shot from normal PRS style props for those that choose to do that. Right beside the props will be a sturdy semi-portable bench for the more seasoned shooters to shoot from. It is the shooters choice which style they use at each match. The same targets and engagement order will be used on each stage. Shooters will be scored separately.
The MD is busy building sturdy props because there is some thought to holding center fire PRS style matches there.
Much thanks to the folks from MARS for the original idea and thanks to everyone who has contributed on this thread

The first match is this Saturday, May 27. Info is in the Local Match section.
At the match we'll get to see where all our Social Security benefits go."Allowances for Old Guys"
I thought this thread was going to be about Social Security benefits.
