Thread: PrairieFire Rank and Competitions

    PrairieFire Rank and Competitions

    Well, y'all probably know that Front Sight is kaput. It's being acquired by PrairieFire, a venture of Bill Wilson (a different Bill Wilson). The transition is covered down on pretty well here by PewPewTactical.

    Per the PrairieFire website, they have a self-vetted online "competition" they call "Rank" which involves a home-printed bullseye target and submission to them online. That seems to be, obviously, a pretty minor thing worth fairly little, but they're boasting a competition coming up in October in Florence, TX, with a purse of $100k. That's pretty serious money. Who knows, maybe they could pull in the people that USPSA are currently alienating (and/or booting).

    Anyone know anything more about this?

    I don't see any specifics about rules and courses of fire.
    The pictures emphasize the HSLD militiamen, not We Retirees.

    I just found out about this, and was interested in (if nothing else) the target. The whole RANK think seems to not exist any more.
    Skill and experience weigh nothing, and you have them with you all the time.

    I qualified for the big shindig last year but didn't go. I really have heard nothing about it since then. Maybe it folded already?

    I looked off their Facebook and they have grand opening later this month but their marketing is really schizophrenic.

    Are they a fitness retreat? A shooting place? A spa? Boot camp?

    Their employees don’t look very fit for a place touting ultimate fitness.

    They might be, but I don’t get whom they are marketing to?
