First F class shoot

#1 Postby Roy cobb » Sun Feb 01, 2015 9:25 am

Hi there I shoot F class for the first time yesterday and had a great time. It was only at 300 yds but you have to start some where and as I have never shot a scoped rifle past 200 before as well as not having a confirmed sight setting I am very happy with my results in the first string I had a score of 58.5 and the next was 54.1 not as good but still very happy with it. Well now to make up some new loads and try 500 yds next week :D

Wait till you get your first 60, it is a good feeling to nail it. Don't be afraid to ask the experienced shooters at Cessnock club for tips and info, they are a good bunch there. Big John and Little Dave are regulars and both friendly with plenty of info.

Cool. My in-laws shoot with cessnock. Make sure that you say hello to David and Robert A. Bob shooting target rifle now but used to shoot f standard a . David is shooting f standard a with one of the most accurate 223 I have ever seen.
And just incase this sounds familiar, yes I am on that other forum and was talking to you the other day.
