    F T/R Competition Settle our bet. How do you score this? 300 yard F/TR target

    You get the benefit of doubt on this one...it is a 10 if I'm scoring.

    Jessie Ventura In court suing Chris Kyle's family

    As a Minnesota resident, this decision is embarrassing. Regardless of whether the story was embellished, Jesse should have dropped the suit after Chris was murdered. He has been a washed-up has-been for a long time and was considered a loony by most after he left office as governor. Over half of...

    F T/R Competition Adding weight

    I use a Farley rest that was purchased in 2013. It made a huge improvement in my scores. I went from expert to high master classification in about 2 months after it was purchased. Some of that may be from improved technique and improving mirage/wind. There is a 12-42 NF 2DD reticle on all my...

    F T/R Competition F Class scope

    Are you talking about the 10-50 variable power or is this a fixed power scope? 10X is not enough power at 600 yards for most guys whether you dial or hold off during the match. Several of the guys I shoot with use Sightron variable scopes with target dot for competitions with great results. A...

    F T/R Competition looking to get started, cant find a few answers in existing posts.

    If Ben Avery is close, you may want to just show up and have a chat with the guys who are shooting and see if one of them may have a rifle that is a safe queen you could use for a while. We had a young college guy show up last year that didn't have the money to buy a rifle, but really wanted to...

    F T/R Competition looking to get started, cant find a few answers in existing posts.

    Depending on the magazine, you should be able to get an insert for the magazine to make single feeding easier. That will be NASTY to shoot a 60 round match without the muzzle break!!

    F T/R Competition Adding weight

    I use just in front of the action as my balance point...not sure if that is correct but it works for me.

    F T/R Competition Adding weight

    It is a Kelbly 1M stock that came with the barreled action I bought last year. I replaced the barrel on the rifle this past winter with a 30" straight (1.25") tube in 6BRX. I pulled off the butt plate this week and drilled out two 3/8th inch holes in the center of the stock and filled with lead...

    F T/R Competition Adding weight

    To any of you that have been shooting F-open for awhile...have you added lead or some type of weight to the stock of your rifles if they are under weight? My present rig weighs about 17.5 lbs. and is muzzle heavy with a straight 1.25 30 inch barrel. Will it track better on the bags in your...

    Dave Matthews

    Not a huge Dave Matthews fan, but add Warren Haynes to the mix and you have something... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FwgIn3vobag

    F T/R Competition F Class perfect score ?

    There were 4 of us shooting either a dasher or BRX and one guy shooting a 6BR. There is significant difference between what the dasher and brx can do at 1000 compared to the standard br chambering. The guy shooting the standard br hangs with me at the mid-range distances, but struggled to get in...

    F T/R Competition F Class perfect score ?

    A national record was tied this past weekend at the Minnesota state LR championship. Mike Jones shot a 200-15X on his second match of the day. His scores for the day were 198, 200, 200!! Conditions were really good on Saturday for shooting good scores, so I'm sure that helped. Great part of all...

    F T/R Competition F Class perfect score ?

    Are these NRA sanctioned matches or just a club match? I agree on FTR shooters catching up with the open guys. The guy that won FTR at the regional last weekend shot a 200-14X on his first relay and another HM shot a 200-12X on the next relay. Some of the "bipods" these guys are using make it a...

    F T/R Competition F Class perfect score ?

    Thanks DS...my first match put me out of the running in a hurry. After that I settled down and shot a 199 and 200 with mid teen X counts on both strings. The 200-19X ties the national record set by Bob Sebold at 600 yards. I'm not sure what the record is for a 3 match ag. We were supposed to...

    F T/R Competition F Class perfect score ?

    There were quite a few spotters that were shot. One of our club members (owns Contour Mold) makes a spotter that I have seen up to 10 hits on without exploding. Some kind of softer/different plastic that doesn't shatter when it gets hit. We don't have nearly as much shrapnel flying around in the...
