First F-Class meet

[MN300PRC]

I tried my first F-Class meet with recently. Just a friendly thing I used a Ruger Hawkeye in 6.5cm with Vortex Strike Eagle 5-25 and harris bipod. Scored 191-3x. Amyone know how does that rate?

You’ll have to edumacate me… what is an F-Class meet?
Also, a pic of the Hawkeye setup please.

Hi,

Good on you! Those are tough competitions. The only contest I've been in is a bowling pin shoot. I'll get out to a steel challenge this summer, hopefully.

I think a perfect score would be 200-20x (all 20 shots in the X ring). Your score would indicate 3 hits in the X ring, 9 hits in the 9 ring, the rest in the 10 ring. Forgive me if I state the obvious.

I'd say that rates really dang good for your first meet. What distance?


Thank you for your indulgence,

Hi,

600yds. Thanks!

Yeah, that's some really good shooting. The top competitors often get all their hits in the 10 ring and the X ring hits are the tiebreaker. For your first foray into F Class, that was a great effort. Will you continue?

Thank you for your indulgence,

Yes, ill try again next time i find one

Second try was 194-5x. two floated high toward the end before i adjusted. I think because of barrel heat. The spotter with the custom rifle that probably had a more expensive bipod than my rifle and a barrel the width of my wrist was impressed. he shot 195-9x. maybe ill try the bergara .300wm one day but thats an expensive one to target shoot

Nice work! What's the time limit for that competition? I get lousy when I rush.
