New Member/ Shooter

[Roy cobb]

Hi to all members I am new to F class (that new I have not even shot F class yet) I have been shooting on and off most of my life and recently got back into it ,Shooting as often as I can but don't laugh most off that has been black powder cartridge long range ( out to 1100 yards) enjoying it but as I can only do it every month ) I am now going to shoot F class that's a little closer to home . Sent of my PTA and ordered my rifle yesterday. I have been to the range that I will be shooting at a few times. So let see how I go. Hope to get a lot of information from here.
See you on a range somewhere

roy,
you have my disease.
long range shooting fclass AND bpcr.
the 2 disciplines complement each other well, and are excellent cross training for each other.
I started fclass with a 223, just like you.
went to 6.5, then 7mm, and am now back experimenting with 6.5.
so much to try, and so little time and money.
bpcr guns include a 45/2.4/100, and a 40/72.
the 40 will take 84 gn powder behind a pp bullet, and can mix it with a 45 using 100 gns powder & a 540 gn pp bullet at 1000 yd.
did you know that the world long range blackpowder championships might be held in s.a. in about 3 or 4 years?
enjoy your shooting, whatever it might be.
keep safe,
bruce.

Welcome Roy,

I shoot Savages. They're a great rifle to get started with and can be very competitive.
