F-Class match — August 23
The F-Class match is a long range high power rifle match that is a sub-discipline of
NRA Fullbore Rifle competition. It is based on the use of very accurate bolt-action
rifles, and can be shot at various ranges from 300 yards to 1,000 yards at paper targets.  You can review the NRA rules for this match including the rifles, equipment, and ammunition here:  http://www.nrahq.org/compete/rules/fullbore_07.pdf  While we
do not have the facilities to comply with all of the range requirements to conduct a
full-blown NRA sanctioned F-Class match, we find the context of the match very
interesting and think that we can adapt a match to our range. 

Equipment: We will have two classes: F-Class Open Rifle (F-O), and F-Class
Target Rifle (F-T/R).  Rifles and their associated equipment will be required to comply
with the NRA F-Class Rifle rules (see pages 42-44 of the NRA Fullbore Rules).

Ammunition: Ammunition must comply with the NRA F-Class rules.

Course of fire: We will shoot three matches, each consisting of 20 shots. Ten
shots for record at 600 yards and ten shots for record at 1000 yards. An Aggregate
for the 60 shots will determine the match winners, and awards will be given to 1st,
2nd, and 3rd places. Shooting will be conducted in the same fashion as our Long
Range Buffalo Match. Each shooter will fire one shot per turn in line order. Two
sighting shots will precede shots for record. All shooting will be from the prone
position as per the NRA rules. 

Targets: The 600 yard target is a 30" diameter steel disc with a 6" center swinger.
The 1,000 yard target is a 48" diameter steel disc with a 10" center swinger.

Entries are limited to 40 shooters. The match will begin promptly at 0900. Sight-in
period will be from first light to 0830. Fee for the match will be $25.00. Ribbons will
be awarded for the top three competitors in the match aggregate. Many other prizes
will be drawn. The range will be open on Friday prior to the match.
