I was wondering if any clubs run a 300/500/600 yard coarse of fire for fclass matches? Apperently my club is doing away with a straight 3x600 yard match and going to the above format.

Re: Fclass coarse of fire question
The COF you describe above is the Mid Range Regional course of fire. It is what is used to establish records and to hold a regional championship.
3x600 is a holdover from the days when 600 was considered Long Range.
There is no such thing as a 3x600 national record - the NRA does not track this.
Ironically, the Mid Range national record (3-5-6) was shot with a 6 Dasher wearing a scope producing a score of 600-53x, yet another shooter with a 308 and irons (Palma rifle) just this last year shot a 600-54X on a 3x600 COF....

We don't have a 500 yard line here at ORSA. I think if you are standing at 500 yards you are in a hole so deep you can't see the targets over the 300 yard line.

7.20 Mid-Range Prone Course
Position Range Target #Shots
Prone 300 yds MR-63 15 or 20
Prone 500 yds MR-65 15 or 20
Prone 600 yds MR/MR-1 15 or 20
NOTE: The Mid-Range Course of Fire may be shot in any combination at 300, 500, or 600 yards.
Mid-Range Regional Course of Fire to consist of at least two days of firing with a minimum of 90 shots.
The above rule 7.20 is taken from the latest NRA rule book.
The same targets, with the F-Class numbers added, for F-Class. Our club usually pastes F-Class centers over the regular targets, for our F-Class shooters. We all shoot at the same time, sling shooters on one side and F-Class on the other and if one position has both we set up 2 targets for that position, with the F-Class target on their side and the sling shooters target on their side, and it works out fine.

Re: Fclass coarse of fire question
Another option available if you are shooting 3/5/600 is to shoot Fullbore (pair fire)... that is a relatively common 'short range' segment for Fullbore. The Spirit of America Fullbore Nationals going on this week runs four days of 3/5/6/9, 3/5/6/1k, 3/5/6/9, 3/5/6/1k, plus team matches @ 3/6/9/1k. Locally we run a couple 3/5/6 Fullbore matches which seem reasonably well received by the shooters, as the format is a little more 'social' - not stuck behind a spotting scope scoring for someone else, and usually have someone helping you pull the target in the pits.
