find the highpower association in your state, they usually have Fclass category during highpower matches and are shot at the same time.
hope this helps.

I live 5 minutes from Forbes and shoot F-Class there regularly. I also take a trip north to Peru NY and shoot matches there as well. Where in NY are you located?

Nice Matt! I'm in the Glens Falls/Lake George area. I haven't been able to go down and shoot high power yet, but I did shoot smallbore with Guy Gamello. Great guy!
Does Forbes have FTR? And do you know if they're still doing f-class matches for the fall/winter?

Re: F-class and FTR matches in New York?
they have F-t/r there..all the F-class matches I shoot are F-TR
they close down for the winter, but re-open in the spring and have several matches a year, with several 1000yd practice days also.
the matches are from may-sept..with practice days being from march- sept..

Panzer is right on. There are also monthly f-class matches in peru NY. They are only 300 yards but fun none the less. If you want more info on Peru, PM me. If you want to attend a match at Forbes check out their web site and email who ever is hosting the particular match you are interested in.

Re: F-class and FTR matches in New York?
I too live in Upstate NY, (Orange County) and am very interested in starting to shoot in F-class matches. Forbes definetly seems like a great place to shoot. I have been on there website and I would like to be a member but it seems you need to be sponsored
. Do you have to be a member to participate in the matches?
Thanks,
Mike

Re: F-class and FTR matches in New York?
No. You don't need to be a member to participate in the matches. As long as your pre registered your in! To become a member you need one of the following:
Proof of:
1. an NRA classification in a shooting sport; or,
2. satisfactory completion of a smalls arms training school; or
3. current peace officer, or service in the armed forces.
For F-class the NRA gives you a clssification after 120 shots. So after 2 or 3 matches you will be good to go once the paperwork clears.

Re: F-class and FTR matches in New York?
Forbes is a fun place to shoot and almost everyone that you meet there is accomodating!
As you get better at shooting you will fnd that the range is not a great place to learn to read wind though. Due to the layout, it has some very strange wind patterns that make it quite inconsistent to read.
I have left the range somedays feeling like I was invincible and others like I should not own a rifle, but it is all fun!
Give it a try in the spring!

Their website DOES say you need a sponsor also. So how would one go about becoming a member if you don't know any members?
