[QUOTE="milanuk, post: 512327, member: 376"] I don't think anybody ever said - or implied - that shooting F-class on a (usually) flat/square KD range is a *replacement* for time out in the field on targets at unknown distances, weird angles, odd positions, etc.. Just going from one KD range to another will emphasize the difference a cut in the tree line on the berm or a gully between yard lines can have, much less the extremes you may see out in the field. As the OP (Jim) pointed out... most people don't get near enough trigger time at distance, in the field or otherwise. F-Class can supplement that to some degree, giving the shooter some confidence in their ability to put shots on target under controlled conditions. If a person can't do it on a flat KD range with wind flags and multiple shots and everything else... its pretty hard to defend trying it in the field on live game where you only get *one* shot. I realize its not quite that simple, as there is a different skill set involved and a lot of long-range hunting guns are not ideal for F-Class - you'd either get beat to death by the recoil, ran off the firing line because of the muzzle blast, or melt down your barrel over a string of fire - and vice versa. But in terms of seeing what it actually takes to consistently put rounds into a given area and realizing that maybe a person needs to limit themselves to targets a little closer to the muzzle... F-Class can be a useful training tool. YMMV, Monte [/QUOTE]
