2015 F-CLass Nationals

[Killshot]

About six weeks away! Really looking forward to Ben Avery, and I hope to return for the Berger's in February.

Who is going to the Nationals? Any other first-timers?

I have been shooting club matches and some Regional Championships for a few years but this is my first time shooting out-of-state at a big match.
For the veterans of past Nationals, have you any tips that you'd like to share?
Have any interesting anecdotes from previous Nationals?
Any idea what time the Tuesday practice will take place after the conclusion of Mid-Range Nationals?
Any idea what the Density Altitude is there in October?
The Dasher rules benchrest at 1K, are any of you shooting Dasher's at the Nats?

Perhaps we can keep this thread going through the end of October; I'll be certain to files reports and photos from the match(es).

US Visa re-newed, ready to go.
This will be my second Nats.
First time to Ben Avery/Phoenix.
Will shoot the long range match only.
F/TR.

Can't wait!

seb.


PS:
If someones need one more shooter to shoot the 4 man team on 30, I will be happy to joint!
Unfortunately not able to form a team. Lack of shooters & conflict of schedule.
I consider myself as a newbie.
Have never shot in a team.
Not sure with my classification, too.
Should be Sharpshooter (from the last Nats 2013 in Raton).
But I do not hesitate to shoot in Master class if needed / if I have to.

Note: Please ignore my PS above... I have had a friend contacted me for the 4th in the LR team match - thanks!

That's great, Seb, looking forward to meeting you and many others.

Any regulars have any answers to my questions?

Dashers don't fair well in the desert, there is plenty of wind and there can be a significant amount of range induced elevation. I shot a dasher at the Bergers in 2014, killed it one day, got killed yhe next!

"...killed it one day, got killed yhe next!"
Sounds like a bear story, Dan.
