NRA sb f-class CONVENTIONAL nationals

[kzin]

So the NRA is actually having the f-class shooters at smallbore nationals shoot the same 2 days of conventional targets and 2 days of metric target as the slingers.

For centerfire only shooters that is essentially the same thing as having f-class nationals with half the shooting on sling targets.

My first thought is this is a major FU. Is it or is it just different?

Looked at the entry fees - WOW this is expensive.

Also not sure what targets are t be used for F-Class.

Targets are in there.
A23 / A25 on conventional days.
A50/A33 on metric days - what f-class is always supposed to use by the NRA rulebook

Any idea of ranges that hold these competitions?

I would love to get into this, I bet it is a blast. (Might need to build an Fclass rimfire).

I am fully into this issue. As you know, we always shoot metric targets. It appears we will shoot metric and conv at nationals. I dont care if we shoot tin cans, as long as all Fclass is shooting the same tin can. We dont compete against sling shooters, they have their own winner, so it doesnt matter really.

That's one reasonable way to look at it.

How close it it going to be to everybody shooting 1200s in conventional though? Anybody with one or two unlucky 9s is screwed?

I am currently creating a Spreadsheet with this information. It should be ready by next week.

I don't see what the issue is. Many centerfire prone matches throughout the US shoot sling and F-Class during the same match. One of the biggest matches in the Country, the Southwest Nationals, shoots sling and F-Class on the same line at the same time.

The issue is the TARGETS. F-class on the conventional targets makes any 9 a major disaster. I think.

All F- class is shot on the metric targets, even the conventional match.

That's what I thought but the nationals program clearly listed conventional targets. A23, A25
Thus my posting the strangeness.
Was the nationals f-class that just finished in fact actually shot on all metric targets?

The 2374 winning score posted above sounds like metric targets.

Maybe it was all an error on the program. Maybe it got changed.

No F-Class competitor at the NRA Smallbore Prone Championships fired on a conventional target. In spite of what the Official Match Program said, it was incorrect. That wasn't the only detail they got wrong in the program, but that is why they have a place for match director's bulletins posted at the match. The 2 scope days of the Conventional Prone were the 2 days for the Conventional F-Class. That is the only thing that made it "Conventional". The next two days of F-Class were fired alongside the Metric Prone Championship sling shooters. At which point all the competitors were using metric targets. The F-Class Champion was the determined by the aggregate of 4 days of 120 shots each day. Jim Murphy was winner.
