6mmBR Posted August 16, 2013 Report Share Posted August 16, 2013 Looks like some of those flagpoles don't have flags? The range is not fully rigged yet they are doing it now.We put up those flags to give us something to go on. Cheers Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bianchi Posted August 23, 2013 Report Share Posted August 23, 2013 Rather quiet on the Raton front. Any good blogs to read up on the daily events besides the results? GB F-Class has a few reports from Paul. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elwood Posted August 23, 2013 Report Share Posted August 23, 2013 Don't expect to hear to much from the GB competitors for the time being, I'm in contact with several GB team members and they are getting up at 5.30 am to be on the range at 6.30 am. After they have finished the days shooting they are cleaning rifles and reloading ammo, normally finishing about 9.30 in the evening. The US nationals are now finished, now the big one begins. So far the quickest updates I have found are here http://forum.accurateshooter.com/index.php?topic=3822797.0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronin Posted August 25, 2013 Report Share Posted August 25, 2013 Your not hearing much from us because were so busy and tired. Those of us who arrived on the 15th have spent every single day sorting loads that are accurate in our rifles at this altitude. This has been a frustrating process because in some cases our usual loads are showing poor accuracy with the chosen powder, so lots of testing has been donme at the Cooper Building on the Raton range. The blogs posted on the GB F class site post an accurate reflection of the events so far. Although they dont convey the physical and mental stress of 40 degree heat, 6000 ft altitude, getting up at 0500 and being "at work" from 06:30 through to midnite most nights - loading, cleaning guns and prepping for the next days shooting. Not to mention broken extractors and a few hours of anguish sourcing another, but thats another tale.. The US Nationals was a fantastic experienec for me which ive learned a great deal from. The F Class World Championships started today with the individual comps at 800, 900 and 1000 yds and continue tomorrow, Then comes two days of team shoots. It really has been relentless since we came out. However, I do not expect any sympathy whatsoever :D Weve all managed to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
