    Abe, currently using Davies Triggers bipod from Ausie, you need an anschutz rail for this one. Borrowed a Sinclair bipod before that (fits to sling stud) and started with a Harris.

    For F-open, have a chat to DAF

    i almost find that theres a completely different focus between f class and f tr especialy with target rifle shooters joining in. Having Ftr shooting a 50.10 instead of a 60 put a lot more emphisis on the all important 5 ring and making sure you keep it in there with f open having to just keep on knocking out centers. I started 6 or 7 years ago when the 50.10 was still in play so in my mind im still going for a perfect 350.something rather than a 420. think my best is 349.59. i beleive it was scored a 408/420. the way f tr is going i would strive to keep all your shots in the 5 ring, (2min) and youll win most ftr comps.

    PerazziSC3, it's a bit in flux at the moment, we are changing over to 1/2 minute super V

    Have a look at Download your plotting sheets here... to get an idea

    The actual dimensions are here: http://www.icfra.co.uk/FCRules_2009.pdf, I don't think the NRA NZ rules have been updated/published yet ?

    The NRANZ uses 500yds target for 600, and the long range target for 800, 900 and 1000

    Nice rifle he's using but it sort of remindes me of lawn bowls for shooters.no denying the talent some F class guys have.I doubt I have the discipline for it, small bore is about as far as I dare to get technical.I would say some F class guys would do well at the gun slingers.If I was a spotter I couldn't resist a shot of the paper for shits and giggles.

    Good vid ebf

    Stuart, DAF is part of the NZ FO team, that is probably an American target he shot overseas, but for 2014/15 the NZ super V is the same size as the US X (0.5 MOA).

    Kinda like trying to shoot 10 shots into an apple at 1000 yds

    are there grades or is it just f-open.?

    what is a good score, what is an ok score and what is crap?
    F class is an arms race. Special calibres etc. FTR is better cos its either 308 or 223
    as for a score, in FTR a 50 is good, and with a lot of V bulls its even better.
