2017 F-Class Worlds at Connaught

[wolfman]

Just a heads up, but the NCRRA runs the Victoria Day and Eastern Regional matches.

You can check them out at www.ncrra.com

Ontario provincials are a great match, but are shot at Borden, and not Connaught, if range familiarization is the idea.

Great thread and good information. Couple of questions:

1) Where can one buy a set of "Bisley" weight flags as used in Ottawa?
2) What's a good F-Class match to attend in the next two years held at that range.
3) Will Individual shooting at the Worlds be two to a mound or three to a mound?

Thanks.

HMMM Might I see you there next year?

If all goes well.

The link below is the complete DCRA Fullbore rule book. Look in Appendix A, Rule 11.21. The function that I wrote in the spreadsheet attached to my original post provides an accurate muzzle velocity from the template velocity control points. Looking at the graph is fine but a little crude. [br]

Thanks Steve, that's the ticket!

So I can still go to work on an 8mm projectile with a 0.8 G1 BC, just as long as I don't push it any harder than 2700fps.

Shiraz,

Please visit DCRA.ca for info on the flags and event schedule.

Jerry - I must not be looking in the right spot, but could not find information on DCRA for where to buy those flags.

Shiraz, I'm pretty sure the DCRA had them made by Paul Bawden at www.centerthegroup.com

I apologize for joining this thread late, but I would be happy to field any question potential competitors might have. As was indicated I'm the poor soul who has been tasked with living up to the standard that Larry and team set for the next FCWC. We are still in process of figuring out details (dates, # of shooters, etc.) but in the interim I'll do whatever I can to help either on the forum or via PM.

For those who have asked there are typically 2-3 major F-Class shoots per year at Connaught, which include the Eastern Canada F-Class Championships, which I'm also a co-organizer of, and our F-Class Nationals.

We'd love to have folks come up between now and 2017 to learn the range and get a chance to shoot "Bisley style", so just let me know if there's anything we can do to help make that easier for you.

Cheers,

Scott

What are the dates for these competitions?

this is true for past years but for the one to come, Ontario provincial will be held at Connaught as Borden is not available.

 

[Quest-QC]

I am taking a guess but likely 2 to a target shot Bisley Style for the Worlds. At the Easterns and Nationals, you will likely be shooting 3 to a target.

Jerry,

its not "usual" to shoot 3 to a target. It can happen if unpaired number of shooter are present but will be run randomly. You can assume to be 2 shooters.

 

[ScottyB]

Just to answer a couple of the points raised, we will be doing our utmost at both Easterns and Nationals to avoid having 3 to a mound, unless circumstances dictate that we must.

Dates for 2014 for the events mentioned are June 28th-30th for Easterns and August 13th-15th for Nationals, with the America Match being shot on the 16th of August.

As far as verification goes for range template we are planning to randomly spot check muzzle velocity and component weight against the competitor supplied data. Once decisions are made officially this will all be communicated formally through proper channels. We don't want to surprise anybody, but we do have a responsibility to ensure the rules are being followed and that nobody is doing anything that could put our access to the range at risk.

A new version of the Connaught spreadsheet is in this thread's initial post. It fixes an issue with disabled macros and adds a few features. As noted in the spreadsheet, don't push the limit. Revising your load on site in Canada would not be a rewarding experience.
