G.B.F.C.A "Introduction to F-Class" - Training weekend 15th-17th March 2024

Hi Guys,

We had a few late issues with the NRA just before the New Year and were left with no options but to change our dates in order to secure the range space needed and make the course viable. I've attached all the revised details for anyone who may be interested.

Cheers Richie

Cheers Guys.....

I'm still in a bit of a daze to be honest and can't quite believe that a week has passed already and that its rained every day since.

Someone was obviously looking down on us and thanks again to everyone who entered, especially all those who took stage medals and podium finishes throughout the week.

Great shooting!

GJD - The only way of gaining experience is getting out there and shooting and there's no better learning curve than a "real life" competition. I would agree that the Europeans are a bit full on but you said you're a novice to competitions, not shooting and we do get new shooters entering.

There are several other venues and league matches throughout the year though so if you have any questions about formats, competitions, rules or just the general ins and outs, please fire over the questions and I'll do my best to answer them. My email is richsjones@hotmail.co.uk or richie@gbfca.co.uk

Hopefully, we'll be giving you a warm welcome and have you on the firing line with us soon.  

Cheers Richie

Sorry John MH - I planned to update scores to this thread once the competition starts. I've jumped the gun a little early I know but there isn't a option to delete the post and editing it away hasn't worked. My Bad

Dear Competitors,

With less than 2 weeks to go before this years Europeans at Bisley, I just wanted to let everyone now that attendance is looking good and the standard of competition will be extremely high. Although its unfortunate that Covid related issues have prevented our usual number of foreign competitors, we do have a good number that have persevered and we're all looking forward to welcoming them this year and having a great competition.

Entries have officially closed......However - I do still have a handfull of gaps between Wed, Thu, Fri & Sat that I'd like to fill. If anyone knows anyone who has both a Shooter Cert Card and is a current member of the GBFCA league and may be interested, please share my contact details and tell them to contact me - richsjones@hotmail.co.uk (places will go on a first come first served basis and only confirmed once online payment has been confirmed)

As a lot of the trades have missed various shows and face to faces with like minded people, we're going all out this year to rekindle the fire and have several big hitters attending this years event. If you're not shooting our event but do happen to be at Bisley throughout our competition, please come and pay us a visit and have a good gander at what's on offer and display.

Here's an update on some of our fantastic traders and competition sponsor attending this year.
Thursday/Friday - Swarovski/Kahles will have a gazebo
Friday/Saturday - Simon Shouler/Kowa will be there for Clearview Scopes
Saturday - CSW / Vortex will have their trailer next to the trade marquee
Within our marquee area will be Fox Firearms, HPS, RUAG, AIM Fieldsports & Extreme Ballistics.

I'd also like to thank our generous sponsors March, Dolphin Guns & Joe West. Although they won't have a presence within our Marquee, they have donated some fantastic prizes for our competitor raffle.

I can't leave without mentioning our in house caterers that will be onsite near the marquee on Stickledown Range and providing food for the masses throughout the days of competition. Lance Vinall will have his Daughters van "Piglet & Pumbaa's Munchbox. I'll be posting their menu and prices nearer the event.

Please note - Given the general shortages of some supplies we’ve been experiencing, if you're attending this year and you need something specific, it may be wise to get your orders in ahead of the Euros and collect from them at the marquee so please drop them a line.

I look forward to seeing all the usual faces and new ones and in the mean time if anyone has any questions or queries, don't hesitate to contact me on the email provided.

See you on a firing point soon - Richie
