Changes for the 2025 Season
Earn Precision Rifle Series points at CRPS matches
As our sport grows and mature, our participants look to find more opportunities to compete both within Canada and outside our country. To help create a competitive environment that fits into the broader competitive landscape, we have made the decision to align our ruleset with the Precision Rifle Series. This would allow our participants to earn PRS points, allowing them to build points towards earning a slot at the regional and national PRS rimfire events. We have been making small changes to our rules in the past in preparation for this move. For the most part, things related to divisions and categories remain the same with some slight changes. The summary provided is only a subset of the key changes. It is up to the competitor to ensure that they are aware of the PRS Rimfire Rules. We have provided a link to allow you to view and download the latest version.
You do not have to be a member of PRS to participate at CRPS matches. Membership to PRS is optional. The only change to shooting this year versus last year are the new rules and the OPTION to earn PRS points, if desired. A new field to collect your optional PRS membership has been added to the registration forms should you wish us to submit your scores and earn points.
Key Changes Associated with Moving to PRS Rules
- Only Standard Velocity ammunition is to be used.
- Youth Category is defined as shooters 17 years old and younger at any point in the year.

Our Story

Matches are held across Canada to allow all Canadians a chance to experience this fun sport.
