Just saw the post. You are only up the road from me. I do a bit of F Class and will be shooting at Cessnock as well. I will PM you my contacts and will help you out where I can.
Have fun, from Rod

It was good to catch up with you yesterday. I couldnt chat much due to the ten new shooters needing assistance. When I get to the range next (whenever that is) I will bring along some more toys for you to play with. Anyhow, it looks like your308 does the job at 500yds from what I saw yesterday.
Have fun.

Yeah I think those guys had a great day, the one with the Weatherby eye brow definately went home with a story to tell :lol:

It got him real good!
Interesting way to spend a bucks party hey?

Gee's that heat & humidity makes it hard to concentrate/focus, horrible conditions & a fishtail wind to contend with as well.
I did find that my 168Gr Amax load was a little less affected than the 155 SMK's I think.

tip:
When you get to Ratton, take notice of the number on the wooden peg infront of you on the mound :lol:

I was lined up to score your first set for you (which you declined being scored) but when those first two didn't show up on the monitor I started thinking....Do I really want to be taking tips from this guy :lol:

Cheers Bloke.
C ya on the mound, Mick.

Oh yes. The 1st 2 sighters on 2 wrong targets is a tactic us experienced shooters use, I will explain it to you in private some time.
Be gentle, it was my first shots in 3 months and I had an itchy trigger finger.
As you saw, there was a reason I didnt want the scores added up, to save the embarresment. :wink:

I have a few of these cunning tactics up my sleeve too e.g. leaving the bolt at home, using an unprimed round. As Rod says, it comes with experience... :lol:

Sounds like our conversation today rubbed off Rod. LOL

Rod is just using a new form of team tactics.

We heard it works quite well in the USA. :wink:

Whilst having not done it myself I have noticed that forgetting to put powder in the case works well as one of these special tactics too.

Wow an old post ! Hope Mick ur still going on in F class. I pretty much started with the same gun . I too got into the sport for that lr H word . But times have changed for me and punch paper instead ! I would still limit my shots out to 500 though regardless !

As a sport we need to welcome hunters that want to hunt way out there! As there prime purpose is to get an x first sighter. This is what makes them a potential good f classer . As for the H word ! No comment !

Regards Graham.
