Thread: F Class Finally

Greeting All,
The day has finally arrived and I shot my first ever 600 yard shoot this morning with the 7mm-08. Didn't do too badly for a novice and an elderly one at that. Conditions were perfect, overcast, cool and dead calm. The rifle had been sighted in at 200 metres with the impact the predicted trajectory above point of aim and the first sighter scored a 3. The range has the Silver Mountain target system which measures the velocity of the projectiles at the target. Being an inquisitive type of chap I compared this velocity with that predicted in my trajectory chart and it was almost spot on, 3 fps difference.
This makes me wonder why we don't see more of the long range hunters getting involved in F class. It provides much more info than shooting a gongs. Any thoughts?
Regards Grandpamac.
