This is a safety issue so everyone should be prepared before the match with the proper come ups.) Second and third strings will allow a maximum of 2 sighting shots. Squadding will be a conventional three relay rotation. All shooters will be required to score and perform pit duties.

    I plan on being there, but just to observe this time. Hopefully I'll be able to get my scope mounted and zeroed to shoot at the next match. See y'all out there!

    If you want to show up around 7-7:15 I can get there early with the tools to get it mounted, set, and a 100yd zero on it. We'll dial you up to 600 from there.

    lajeeper, You won't get a better deal than this all week. Ted, I may roll in a bit early too to confirm my 100 yard zero since my scope has been moved around.

    Honestly, anyone who's even thinking about coming to FPR should come out. I've just started shooting at 600 yards in F-class and FPR and everyone is super helpful to the new guys. I don't think I've encountered anyone who has been rude or looked down on me just because I was new. Heck, I think I heard the guy who won the F-T/R regional his weekend had never shot in competition before. There's a bunch of guys out here willing to help and I promise you'll do better than you think you will.

    I'm going to try and make it early (groans in misery:D), around 7:00-7:30 but hopefully I can get off early enough friday night to get some sleep!:) I would like to get a good zero @ 100 if possible. See y'all out there.

    I think you will be pleasantly suprised.

    I might not be able to make it after all, still working on it though. Got "voluntold" for an overnight "volunteer" event for work plus work the whole day.

    Looks like we're going to have some great weather to shoot in tomorrow! Mickey, are you bringing/shooting your .30cal can? I am still looking for one to screw on the new rifle to make sure everything lines up.

    Yep! I'm there. I'll have the 308 can with me. You are more than welcome to play with it!:D
    I just may bring the Osprey .45 can so you can play with it too. Rick got to shoot it 2 weekends ago at the range.
    I'll be there early to help set up. I like the smell of wallpaper glue.:draw:
