2019 F Class Mid Range Nationals

I can't believe they let you have your own Target puller.....

Why? I see absolutely nothing wrong with that. If a competitor is physically unable to pull targets and he/she has someone to pull for them, what's the difference? Not like they are going to be pulling targets for whomever brought them. I'll also challenge you to do this, go to Rat-on, New Mexico and find a willing individual to come to the range and pull targets for you for $100 a day. If there's a body with enough ambition to do that, I sure haven't found them. And, I've looked.

Too much work pulling your target. 10,7,10,7,10,7.

Oh no you didn't!!!!

Funny! But...you could have been talking about my targets last year.

10,7,10,7,10,7.

You left out 6's and 5's. and the occasional X. A blind hog finds an acorn every now and then!

Jim, as I recall, long range at nationals was 8,9 and 1K until 2012? I remember shooting that course of fire till Nat's and worlds were held in Raton in 2013. Larry B. please correct me if I'm wrong.

The mid range nationals hasnt been around very long. It was started by the NRA and held with the Camp Perry matches for 2 years. F class shooters didn’t agree with the format at Camp Perry, and voted to move the matches and seed squad. It combined with the long range nationals in Phoenix 2015. Prior to 2012 the F class nationals had mid and long range. It was one day at 600 and three days of 1000. The 600 was dropped in 2012 without a vote.

Long range was 800, 900 and 1000 until the powers that be decided to shoot it all at 1K. I don't believe there was a vote on that either. Doesn't look to me like it's hurt the sport.

The only year we shot 800, 900, 1000 was at Sacramento in 2006 if my memory is correct
