I shot my first 22 RF F-Class match this past weekend… the New Mexico State Conventional SB Rifle Prone Championship and managed to win the F-Class portion using my son's 1984 Anschutz 1813 Free Rifle. This rifle has a cheek piece that is straight up & down on the right side & I am left-handed. It was not a comfortable weekend! Think I need a new stock for it. The first 20 shots at 50 yards was a 200-19x & I went downhill from there. I had no flag or wind meter to put at the firing line like most of the shooters did. I just had to watch the impact area for dust and the few flags downrange at 50 yards. Dang the wind can really move that 40 gr slug around the target, especially at 100 yards. Finished with a 3176-210x. Many thanks to Lapua for making very fine 22 LR ammo. I can’t say I’m hooked, but I’ll probably try 22 FC again.
My first 22 RF F-Class Match

Congratulations Larry on the NM state championship win in the F-class portion, first time out. At 100 yards, it’s a full on wind calling f-class match but spotting your holes, and and grabbing ammo directly from the cardboard box on the way to the car.
I love shooting those matches and would certainly like to shoot more. I haven’t ever used that new a gun in one, myself. So far I’ve only used single shot 40-X’s and a 52. I think the old 52 from around when Winchester made Garands would have a philosophical problem with European ammo, but what are we supposed to do, I don’t know where the US made match grade ammo is.

Larry,
I shot the Tx. State F/class championship about a month ago and ended up winning it also..I used my single shot vudoo setup like a open gun shooting off my seb mini that I took out of the box the night before the match and didn’t have a clue on how to use it and being a TR shooter and having to remember to push my rifle back into the stop cost me a few points..it was fun though.

Larry has forgotten more about shooting than I will ever know..I wish I could make it to nationals this year in RF or CF but neither one is in the forecast for me this year.
