PRS 2026 Memberships Now Open
Register now to earn regional standings in rimfire, centerfire, or pro competition.
From The Boise Gun Club Handbook
What you need before your first stage: The Precision Rifle Series has opened 2026 memberships across all three series—PRO, Regional, and Rimfire—and without one, your scores don't count toward any standings, regional or national.
Membership isn't a formality. It's the gate. Shoot a PRS-affiliated match without one and you can still pull the trigger, but you'll be invisible to the leaderboard.
State of play: PRS structures its standings by series, and each series requires its own membership tier—or a combination that bundles them.
- Rimfire-only shooters need the Rimfire Series membership. It covers Open and Production divisions at PRS Rimfire matches—nothing on the centerfire side.
- Centerfire competitors shooting 1-day matches need the Regional Series membership (Open, Tactical, Production, Gas Gun).
- PRO Series competitors need either a standalone PRO membership or a combination option.
Combination memberships exist for a reason. PRO + Regional, Rimfire + Regional, or all three together—buying a combo costs less than stacking individual memberships, and if you're crossing series, it's the move.
By the numbers: Here's how the tiers break down in plain terms:
- Regional Series — 1-day centerfire matches, all four divisions, regional standings.
- PRO + Regional — 1-day and 2-day PRS matches across Open, Tactical, Production, and Gas Gun. Right for shooters chasing both club-level regionals and PRO invites.
- Rimfire Series — standalone, covers Open and Production for PRS Rimfire only.
- PRO + Regional + Rimfire — the full bundle. If you're shooting across all three series, this is it.
Membership runs until each series' respective annual finale match, so a 2026 registration covers the full competitive calendar.
What to watch:
- Some regional match hosts require proof of membership before you can register for the event. Don't wait until the week of your first match.
- Division selection is locked to your membership record—Open, Tactical, Production, and Gas Gun have different equipment rules.
- 2025 memberships don't carry over. Annual means annual.
One thing in the fine print: PRS memberships include a photo and video consent clause. Anything you do at a PRS event can be photographed or filmed and used in their promotional material without additional compensation. Standard for organized competition, but worth knowing.
BGC members interested in precision rifle should note that Boise Gun Club hosts and supports PRS-affiliated events in the region. Getting your membership sorted now means you're ready to register the moment local match slots open.
The bottom line: Match your membership tier to where you're actually competing, buy it before your first match, and don't cross the streams—a Rimfire-only membership won't get your centerfire scores counted.
