To be consistent with other ranges our metod of marking scores on the target will change to the below diagram. Note the X and 5 score share the same spot. The shot marker will have to be used to verify.

This is actually a much simplier way to score F-Class. It also keeps the scorer from reaching to the top of the target.

what's with the little dots around the bull??? sorry never done f-class other than the .22 match the other day and we did it the same way as i always did in 4-h

We use a 5" diameter scoring disc. When the person is in the pits when the competitor on their target shoots they pull the target down into the pits and put a shot marker which is a 2" diameter disc with a center spindle in the hole where the bullet struck and then they put a scoring disc on the edge of the target in the position appropiate for the score of that shot then raise the target. then the shooter is able to look through their scope and tell where their shot went and what score they got for that shot. the scorer on the line uses a spotting scope and records the score on the score card. Where on the 22 matches we would have to wait until after the string to get the score in F-Class you know what the score of each shot is right after the shot is made.
You should come down one weekend to a match Ree.

i LOVE that idea!!!!!!!!!!!!! with the .22's that was a major problem for me! i would love to be able to kno where my first few shots were so i could adjust as needed....... sounds like a good idea for .22's to me. was lookin at the ballistics for my .243 wssm last night and realized it could be set up to do wat i want for f-class so i may have to get into it.... scope is my only prob.... dont have the money for somethin to see that far at the moment

You can always borrow a rifle, there are alot of people out there that wouldnt mind at all.

I have a 22-250 and a 300wm that i use. 22-250 is alot more comfortable to shoot from the lack of recoil.

I have a Savage, heavy barrel .308, that can be shot in the FP/R class, if want to give it a try.

[ree_countrygirl]

thanks man, i may have to do that sometime this summer. i would love to try it to just see how i would do

A 16x scope is enough magnification to shoot 600 yards. I used one the first year I shot.

 

[msredneck]

I like that target better...

a lot less wear and tear on the guy in the pit....marking my 5's
