Any FCWC Team members who go (too) well will be asked to put that barrel in the cupboard immediately and finish the Queens with something else

. (especially Dave Mc)

Update - almost there.

The full Equipment List is almost "on-line". I got responses from most F Open shooters and 8 or 10 FTR shooters that I gave forms to.
I simply didnt have time to chase all FTR and F Standard shooters because i was trying to compete in F Open myself.
I have finished collating the info collected, and putting it into a Spreadsheet, so we just have to give Alan time to get home (which will hopefully be later today) and he will get it online asap.

Up to about Alan Fraser it is, though I was missing Stuart Braund.
After Alan they are not in any order.

If Daves barrel from the queens wasnt his barrel to run in Raton, I would hate to be shooting against him there...

That makes very interesting reading Anthony.
Thanks for going to the effort of compiling the info.

Yeah the results are interesting.
Seems that there is starting to be a bit of a bottleneck at the top end.
Almost everyone is using a 7mm at between 2800 and 3000 fps with 180gn Bergers. Its almost like it is becoming another “Standard” competition but with 7mm instead of .308 calibre.

Probably sponsored by an orthopedic surgeon.

i did notice in the list the use of a norenco action in conjunction with a nippondenso trigger.
perhaps this combination in 8 x 64 brenneke would be worthy of investigation.
keep safe,
bruce.

The equipment list questionnaire is obviously take less seriously by some, but if thats what the shooter puts on paper, then i couldnt be bothered wasting more of my own time and trying to chase them up. I thought I should just share the humour, as written.
Maybe its an F/TR thing ?
