    Mickey,

    Is that photo from 1/29? I am concerned about the F class/prone match scheduled for 2/2.

    I'm interested in spectating. Is there an entry fee or anything like that? I'm looking to get in to the sport and figured I'd come see what it's all about.

    Come on out man! No charge for spectators. Just bring your eye and ear protection so you can get close to the firing line. You may even want to visit the pits (always a great experience for someone new to the matches).

    If I don't work next weekend I may bring my son and let him compete using my rifle and I think I'll just spectate. He did so good last time shooting g my last 10 shots during the December match.

    Ted beat me to it. The monthly F Class / prone 600y match is tomorrow. It is similar to FPR and it would be a great match to come see some really good shooting and learn how things flow if you are interested in getting into it. Shooters will be shooting everything from rifles out of a sling to full blown F Open rifles (like top fuel dragsters in f class).
