600yd F Class August 15th?

Post by **AR15barrels** » Tue Jul 06, 2010 8:21 am

I'm just taking a poll to see how many would attend an F class match on sunday August 15th if it could be arranged.
Location TBD, but it's within an hour of the greater LA area.

Check out this link for a description of f class shooting:

This would be at 600yds.
Probably a 60 round course of fire.
Around $20 entry fee.

This is excellent wind-reading practice as your target is spotted after every shot.
You get instant feedback on what the mirage looked like compared to where the bullet landed on target.

I'm 50/50. Definitely want in, but might be out of town that weekend.

I'd usually be a for sure but August is shaping up to be a busy month for me so I don't want to commit yet.

Maybe for me

All comes down to me working up a good load. I should have plenty of time before the 15th.

Burbank Rifle and Pistol club holds F matches to 600 regularly....If we have a problem for August, maybe we could do another month? Also, Cuyama holds their F-Class matches every other month on the 3rd Sunday(I know, conflicts with Mark's WEGC match), but this is a very low key match and it also has pit service....It's just 100 miles from the Santa Clarita area...Plus if you cannot make the match, there is a practice the Saturday before the match that's even less stress...

The poll is setup so you can change your vote, so if something changes, please DO change your vote to reflect that so we have an accurate head count.

Definately interested! I marked 'Maybe' because there is a good chance that I might have to work.

Better start getting some brown on my nose...

I put maybe simply because I dont know the location. If its an hour north of the greater LA area then I probably wont make it. If its more south then I would definitely show up.

Shaun,

Click the link in Randall's post after the poll and it will take you to a page about F Class. Better yet, come out with me to Cuyama sometime and you can see 1st hand....

(After reading about it) wow. Sounds pretty cool.. I'm defiantly in..

Thanks..

For those of you who have never shot a regular High Power Prone/F Class type match I highly recommend it. I've slowly been getting some of our guys here up north to come out to the ones at Sac Valley, they always come away with a positive experience and come back for more.

As Randall stated, because of the standard 1 minute per shot time frame, there is ample time on each shot to look at any wind flags and the mirage at various distances between you the shooter and the target, make your wind call, and then see the result as each shot is individually spotted. This lets you know if your wind calls are correct, where the mirage is giving you the most information and where it doesn't, time to learn what the mirage actually means in terms of speed, change ups and switches. And when it lies

It's also a great time to work on being consistent in your position behind the rifle from shot to shot. Several of our guys shot a 3x600 match yesterday and that's one thing I heard them talk about. They realized that they could keep most of their shots in that tiny 3" X ring if they did things right and the same every time. But subtle changes in their position would cause them to throw shots out.

Randall,
Will you split your guys into F T/R (.223/.308) and F Open (everything else) groups? Make sure you have access to, or get, the MR-C F Class centers. Shooting Xs and 10s on the standard MR prone target is too easy.

Yes.
This is to be done on a legitimate range with legitimate pits and proper f class targets.

replied as a maybe, hard to tell a month in advance, but I am real interested to shoot one of those matches.

DirtRacer151 · Post by **DirtRacer151** » Mon Jul 12, 2010 7:56 pm

are you planning on doing this in place of our monthly match next month? If so i may change my vote to a yes

CamW · Post by **CamW** » Mon Jul 12, 2010 9:51 pm

August 15 is the THIRD Sunday of the month,so there's no conflict with the CaPRC match at Angeles.

For those that are planning to shoot, watch the videos that ocabj on Cal Guns made about pulling targets. Everyone will be expected to pull pit duty.

I guess so....I am out of the loop as well, so everybody's guess is as good as mine....

Short Action Precision · Sat Jul 24, 2010 11:36 pm

So after realizing that shooting in different positions SUCK!!! F-class seems the way to go for now! Im definitely in if this is a go.

khw9mm · Post by **khw9mm** » Sun Jul 25, 2010 8:19 am

If it's still going on, I'm definitely in.

Post by **Gnzrme** » Sun Jul 25, 2010 9:15 am

Since Cam posted about pulling targets I am going to assume that this is at WEGC (West End Gun Club)....Hopefully I can get the day off....

Changed my vote to definitely yes. See you guys there.

Hey guys, the 600 yard match is at West End. For those of you that are still deciding to shoot or not , post in the poll soon if you're attending so I can let the match director know how many of us are showing up.We have 8 working target frames , but only 7 are usable due to some tree branches in the way. If we're going to have a big turnout we'll have to get those branches trimmed.

bcrich · Post by **bcrich** » Tue Aug 03, 2010 5:46 pm

Im in for sure, west end is too close to miss out on.

Im gonna have to bail on this one. Ill be on vacation in Montana.

I am still trying to finagle the day off, but I am going to say that I will be in....

I spoke to the match director today,he would like everyone there between 7:15 and 7:30 for sign ups and squadding, shooting starts by 8am.
He's limiting attendance to 28 shooters so get here early.We had 14 shooters last time so there should be room for everyone, but don't be late.

khw9mm · Post by **khw9mm** » Mon Aug 09, 2010 2:51 pm

Can someone post exact directions to the shooting spot at WEGC. I know it's off of Sierra but not 100% sure from there.

Thanks!!

I hate the new wegc website.
When I made the original range location page, I put the range directions at the TOP of the page and the clubhouse directions at the BOTTOM of the page...
I built the club's old website from scratch starting with only a couple graphics they gave me.

It is kinda confusing. When i first clicked the link i would've just gone to the clubhouse if i didn't know any better so i figured I'd point that out to guys that haven't been there.

Hahaha, good thing you mentioned this. I know it's on the way to Lytle Creek but I would have simply copied the address on the website and throw it in my GPS....ending up in Ontario!

Agree. Most people would go to their website to find location of the range no? and not the clubhouse....just sayin'...

7:15 AM- no one believes in going out on a Saturday night??
bar closes at 2:00-get home at 2:30- wake up at 6:00= 3.5 hours of sleep

Would you attend?
