Field Precision Rifle Match - May 14th Palo Alto

[Ritten]

The weather's been perfect and this month is looking to be our best match yet. We've had a LOT of guys come out to shoot at 600yds for their first time and they can attest to how much fun it is to see that target go down! Not to mention the experience and fun of learning to shoot in the wind.

Match fee is $15 and all you need is:

Rifle
66-70 rounds of ammo
Shooting glasses and ear protection
Ground mat (towel, old carpet, etc)
Pair of binoculars or spotting scope
Water & a snack/lunch

Rules and course of fire is posted here so I'll just link it. FPR match

So post up if you have any questions or if you're going to be putting rounds down range!

I will not be able to make this one guys. Hope the turn out is good and weather cooperates!!! I'll have to set my sights (and load up some rounds) for the June match. Good luck to all!

What time do you guesstimate we would be out of there?

What time do you guesstimate we would be out of there?

2pm ish. Last time I believe we finished around 1:30.

 

[Ritten]

Bump. Down to a week away!

 

[BIGBORE44]

Will 223 be allowed?

 

[kengel2]

Yes, 223 is allowed.

 

[Ritten]

Will 223 be allowed?

.223 is allowed as long as your bullet weight/barrel twist combination can keep it stable out to 600yds. As a rule of thumb at 600yds, 69gr and heavier is safe in .223.

I'll be there. Other than all rounds being magazine feed, how is it different from FTR?

Your barrel has to be shorter than 26", rifle less than 16.5lbs, optics dialed up no more than 25x, and you are not limited to just .223 or .308.

I won't make. Getting the toy rebarreled. Should have it done and a load worked up by the June match.

 

[Ritten]

Mid-week bump!
