Below we list the minimum requirements for smooth participation in a PRS Match.

RIFLE
A bolt-action rifle in the caliber permitted for the competition.
For a rimfire competition, this is .22 LR; for a centerfire competition, various calibers are possible (see the specific rules for centerfire, e.g., limited division).
If you wish to shoot in the Factory division, please also keep an eye on the specific rules.

CHAMBER FLAG
 An important mandatory item in your safety equipment. The chamber flag ensures that you cannot load a cartridge and makes it immediately visible that your weapon is not loaded.

MAGAZINE
Provide at least one magazine with 10 rounds.
Some stages require 12 rounds, but if a magazine can hold a maximum of 10 rounds, you will need to provide two magazines so that you can switch during the stage.
For example, some competitions allow magazines with 15 rounds.
Check the matchbook to see which magazines are allowed.

SCOPE
Equip your rifle with a scope that is suitable for the distances of the competition.
There are scopes in MIL and MOA. In precision rifle shooting or PRS, we use mostly MIL.
Make sure your scope is properly adjusted and your zero is known.
It is difficult to make adjustments on the day of the competition, so you should limit yourself to performing a zero check.

EYE AND EAR PROTECTION
As in other shooting disciplines, eye and ear protection is mandatory. Ear protection is sometimes not mandatory at .22 (outdoor) competitions.

AMMUNITION
Make sure you have enough ammunition. Ensure you have all the data (speed, BC, ...) about your ammunition so that you can use the correct data for your COF. The matchbook states how much ammunition you need, plus some extra ammunition for the zero check.

BALLISTIC CALCULATOR
Use a ballistic calculator to make the right calculations regarding the distance of the targets, the wind, etc. U can use app's (AB Quantum, Hornady, ...) or devices (Kestrel, ...).

DATA CARD (HOLDER)
To memorize your COF - course of fire, it's needed to provide a data card holder - easy to see from your shooting position. You have holders to attach at your rifle or to stick on your arm.

NOT MANDATORY - below are some items who are not mandatory. Mostly you can use them from other shooters so you can see what to buy later when you are participating in more matches.

CLOTHING
Good weather, bad weather, the match goes on. Make sure your clothing is suited to the conditions. Bring rain gear that fits loosely so that it does not hinder your movements. Because you will often be sitting on your knees, knee protection is definitely not an unnecessary luxury.

BAG 
Make sure you have a good, heavy-duty bag that can hold everything.
It is not uncommon for different stages to be located some distance apart during outdoor competitions.
If your bag is not waterproof, make sure that rain cannot get everything wet. A waxed bag is therefore a good solution.

SHOOTING BAG
Shooting bags come in many shapes, weights, and sizes.
It is difficult to give advice on this. The choice often depends on various factors.
Many shooters also use different bags depending on the prop they are shooting from.
Ask other shooters to try a few. Do not buy a bag without trying it first.

BIPOD
For some stages it's good to have a bipod.
It is certainly not mandatory; you can shoot just as well from a shooting bag in some positions.

TRIPOD
A tripod can be useful for placing binoculars on, for example, as well as for applying tripod rear.

BINOCULARS or other long range scopes
The further away the targets are, the harder they are to see.
Binoculars are definitely useful for seeing where they are.
They are also essential if you need to spot targets for other shooters.

RANGEFINDERS
A matchbook contains the various distances between targets.
Shooters often check these distances so they can use the data in their ballistic calculators.
