Tricky range to shoot at, like you say, wind swirls a bit, and the flags are below the flight line, so easy to miss a shift.

You are more than welcome to come join us, the field was pretty evenly split between ISSF, TR-Open, FTR and F-Open. The 300m group has been letting FTR shoot with them for a couple of years, and this was the first time we had FO entries, the boys had a good run on Sun morning with 599 and 598 scores !

Umm, dumb question time, never shot in any competition, but allways practised at the ranges I expect to be able to competently put down game, my current favourite rifle, 2506 Rem, (25" Trueflite barrel, trued 700 Rem) will shoot inch groups at 300m and will still do it in a stiff crosswind if I judge it right, would that get me laughed out of a 300m competition if I rocked up with a hunting rifle?, had kind of figured that you had to have tacticool rig and one ragged hole out to 300 would be the norm, but maybe not?
