[QUOTE="phpd1295, post: 1250897, member: 30242"] I joined a range down here this past year that has monthly NRA sanctioned matches out to 600 yards. I shoot in the FTR class with "Grizzly" and after shooting in 5 matches I am holding my own. These guys have been shooting competitively for decades and they are all using specialized gear and rifles designed for f-class shooting so I don't feel bad coming in last place all the time. My score has climbed from 421 out of 450 to 436 out of 450 using my hunting rifle, a $49.00 black hawk bi-pod from academy, and a $15.00 Caldwell rear bag. When I feel bad about coming in last I remind myself that I don"t have a $300 Sinclair front bi-pod or a monopod or custom leather rear bag and I feel better. Here is a pic of the target I shot this past weekend at 600 yards. I shot .9 MOA in a misting rain with changing winds and only dropped 4 points with 5 X's. The winner shot a perfect 150 with 9X with a custom F-class rifle with all the bells and whistles. [/QUOTE]
