The April 5th club match will be a great opportunity to dust off your rifle and get dialed in before the Missouri State Championship.

The club matches are a great way for Benchrest shooters to try out F-Class. They are very laid back and there is even a Bench class for the shooters that can't or would rather not shoot from the prone position. Bring your Benchrest rifle and attend one of these matches. I bet you will have a blast! The first one is just 10 days away.

Our first match is this Thursday. I hope to see several of you there.

What calibers dominate that shoot? I would assume the same as 600 yard benchrest? 6BR, 6dasher??? Or do the 7mm dominate? Just curious. Lee

Lee,
6mm cartidges seem to win most of the Open matches, but the bigger 7's are the way to go when its really windy.

I would love to try F Class in 2013. How to I go about it?

[ryanjay11]

There is a NRA 88-round match on October 20th. If you would like to see how it works and what equipment is used, I recommend attending the match as a spectator. It is free to watch and you will learn much more than anything you can read in a book or on an internet forum. If this date doesn't work for you, I will be posting the 2013 match dates sometime in January.

Thanks Ryan. I will come check it out.
