[QUOTE="Buffalobob, post: 184432, member: 8"] There is an F-class match January 27 at Quantico. I am going to be gone hunting so I will not be there. I expect I will be there in February but may be coaching a new shooter so I will be pretty much dedicated to that. Here are a few things you didn't mention: Rear bag of some kind. $30 for entry fee pen/pencil for scoring and paper for making notes on drops. Bullets capable of traveling to 1K supersonic. Basically Sierra 175 MKs at 2600 fps will do you fine. For bought ammo, people recommend Fed Gold Medal Match 175s or Black Hills Match. I have never shot any factory loads. The 168s will lose velocity and are kind of iffy at 1K. Eye and hearing protection. They shoot in the rain if the targets can be seen so be prepared for that. There is some kind of 1K prone match at Williamsport Pa but they call it something different than F-class and it is only 10 rounds fired for record so it is not worth my time and trouble. [/QUOTE]
