Due to a last minute change the 4th of Feb will not be a possibility due to F-Class all that weekend. So the date set for the shoot is the 28th of Jan. It's either that or sometime in March/April.

I'll stick up a breakdown of the day shortly. I'll also be PM-ing all those that contacted, and posted here, asking to be included. I'd appreciate getting a response from all those that can make it by this coming Monday so as to arrange the appropriate amount of ROs, F-Class lads, etc.

All names here and via PM are recorded.:cool:

Keep the answers coming lads.

Right lads. Here are the details for the day. As said this will be a full F-Class type shoot so it might be worthwhile to re-read the general outline as posted on page one.

9:30 - 10:30 = Registration at the clubhouse including presentation of licenses, and insurance details. Then out to the 100 yard range to confirm shooter has a proper 100 yard zero.
10:30 - 11:30 = 25 yd zero range. All shooters will be required to fire between 3 - 5 shots to verify the rifle can safely make the 600 yard distance.
11:30 - 11:50 = Break for tea/coffee, etc.
11:50 - 12:00 = Firing line safety speech. Instructions to shooters, protocol for range shooting , etc.
12:00 - 13:00 = Unspecified amount of rounds to get each shooter hitting the board with at least 3 successive rounds. Go along each shooter until all have hit this mark.
13:00 - 13:45 = Lunch.
13:45 - 14:00 = Shooters will be split into two groups. One will acomoany the Butts Supervisor while the other prepares their gear on the firing line.
14:00 - 14:30 = 2 & 10 or 15 rounds per shooter at their target. Every shooter will have an F-Class lad/spotter between them to guide them through their string if they have an issue.
14:30 - 14:45 = Shooters on the firing line, and butt crew swop places.
14:45 - 15:15 = 2nd Detail same as above.
15:15 = All shooters finished and return to clubhouse.


A few reminder notices.

1. This is an F-Class novice shoot and subject to all the same rules as F-Class. No mods, no muzzle breaks, etc.
2. Front rest or bipod, and back bag. If you need help with this contact me via PM, and we can sort you out.
3. Have hearing protection. Not ear plugs but actual headsets.
4. No camo gear to be worn. Its a range lads so no need to "blend in".
5. Licenses, and insurance must be shown prior to shooting.
6. There will be a range fee of €15.
7. Bring lunch. There are shops within 5 minutes of the range, and vending machines, and tea and coffee available on the range. In other words don't go hungry for the day.:D

Other than it'll be a straight forward day and hope to see you all there.

This is a very rough guide because without knowing the exact make of ammo or length of the barrels on lads guns i had to guess at some of the stats but here goes;
Caliber| Bullet Weight | Approx. MV | Drop in MOA | Drop in Clicks |
.223 | 40 - 75 | 2800 - 3300 | 15 - 18 | 60 - 72 |
.243 | 58 - 100 | 2900 - 3750 | 10.5 - 14.5 | 42 - 58 |
6.5x55 | 100 - 140 | 2600 - 2950 | 12.5 - 17.5 | 50 - 70 |
.270 | 120 - 150 | 2680 - 2840 | 12 - 16 | 48 - 64 |
.308 | 123 - 200 | 2600 - 2950 | 11.75 - 14.5 | 47 - 58 |
30-06 | 165 - 210 | 2600 - 2850 | 14.5 - 16 | 58 - 64 |
.300 | 165 - 220 | 2800 - 3200 | 10.5 - 14.5 | 42 - 58 |

All the above Clicks are based on a 1/4" (0.25) click value. If your scope is a 1/8" (0.125) value simply double the values. Also its worth getting to know your scope in terms of MOA as this is the primary terms used when adjusting your scope in F-Class.

The values may not be spot on and if anyone with a much more accurate set of figures for a caliber can post them up that'd be helpful as i had to rely alot on manufacturer specs, and a BC to get some stats. I simply haven't tested, chrono'd all the rounds for all the calibers. I know, i'm lazy.
