F class Training weekend 22/24 Feb 2013

[Elwood]

If anyone is interested in taking part in F class open or F/TR then this is a fantastic opportunity to give it go.

 

There are a few places left.

 

Details can be found here

http://www.gbfclass.co.uk/index.php/home/dates-venues-and-entry-forms

 

The basics are, Wind reading - rules - disciplines - technique - reloading - tuition & shooting - small competition.

 

Tuition/advice/help from current individual world champions and GB squad members.

It's a new updated course, which will include a lot more range time.

You'll get your gun set up at 100 yards and your load chrono'd.

Shooting will start at 600 yards before moving up to Stickledown to shoot at 1000 yards.

Also a great reloading seminar given by Russell Simmonds who is current FTR world champ.

As Ian said only a few places left so if your interested in a good start at F class give the course ago.

Cheers

I for one endorse this course

Simply the best intro to F-Class you can get

[Elwood]

Please don't feel that you have to have a F open or F/TR rifle to take part on the weekend, all you need is a rifle that is capable of reaching out to 1000 yards.

Ian's quite right come and have some fun.

You don't even need a rifle as there are FTR set ups you can use,all you'll need to do is by the ammo.

So no excuses

No you don't need to be a NRA member to stay on camp, there are contacts for accommodation on the entry form.

There was somone using a .223 last year. You will be fine out to 600 yards.

If conditions are good 1000 is possible as I said don't let that put you off as there are loan rifles available.

Get in touch with Mik, go on you know you want to.

See you on the range

Looks good, unfortunately imminent baby trumps shooting weekends......

[Ronin]

The quality of the tutors make this a no brainer to anyone interested in shooting F Class or any other long range rifle sport.

I have signed up and I hope to do the FTR shoots this year. I havent been to Bisley for 38 years. Boy - am I excited!

 

I got B&B at the Artists Rifle Club for £45 a night and it's right on the range itself.

Hi, I would take a minimum of 100 it would be no good to run out.

You will need to zero and chrono on Friday and then shoot at 600 yards

Saturday is shooting at 800 and 1000 and on Sunday you have a small comp.

The round count will soon mount up!

See you there

Dave

[firestarter]

Looks like the reloading department maybe busy tomorrow!

 

Cheers
