Mike Keenan is a professional shooter sponsored by Alpha Munitions. I first got connected with him via Jeff Gurwitch, who I recently interviewed to discuss the link between competition and tactical shooting. I mentioned to Jeff that I was very interested in pursuing PRS-style precision rifle competitions and asked if he knew anyone I could talk to.

Mike was the answer.

My goal for this interview was adopting a beginner’s mindset, which wasn’t all that difficult seeing as I’ve never actually competed in a PRS event. I wanted to suss out tips, tricks, and “ah hah!” moments that might help someone like me just getting started into the sport.

I think it was a success. We focused our conversation on two primary areas:

The biggest benefits of competing in PRS
The baseline equipment to get started and have fun
Mike was very generous with his time, so I want to throw a shout out to him as well as his team, Alpha Munitions.
