PRS Skills Stages are intended to serve several purposes. In addition to being an ideal training aid for practical rifle shooting, PRS Skills Stages serve as a barometer for shooters. During PRS competitions, atleast one of the 3 Skills stages must be shot. All the scores for the Skills Stages are published on the PRS website. This will provide the shooters with solid metrics by which they can judge themselves against other shooters they would not have otherwise had an opportunity to compete against. It will also allow them to see how they stack-up against the best shooters in the world. 

The 2025 STS range of PRS Skills targets have been redesigned to align with the 2025 PRS Australia Rules & Standard Operating Procedures (2025 PRS Centrefire Rules).
