I've been shooting F- TR for about a year now, and am really getting in to it. I usually shoot at Catawba Valley gun club , in Conover NC (300 yards), and have shot 2 1k matches at camp Butner & Camp Lejeune. All of these places are nice facilities that run good matches. However, I keep hearing about how nice Oak Ridge is and it makes me want to shoot a match there.
What's it like compared to the military bases ? I'm sure it doesn't have as many firing positions, but I hear it's very pretty. Are the winds usually tricky ( kind of a dumb ? Because almost any wind is tricky at 1k).
When would be a good match to come up? I've looked at the schedule, but am not sure when the F-class matches are shot. I assume it's with the HP & prone guys. Are all the matches just 1 day? How's the competition? I've heard they have some talented shooters there. They definitely have some stiff competition at Butner! I just got my LR classification,(marksman) so I'm no pro but I sure like picking the minds of the pros...
Just tell me about the place and your experiences there. I live in upstate SC, so it's about the same distance to Butner from me. I think I might like a change of scenery.
Thanks guys!
