It should be a good year. I am looking forward to it. I am making the switch from F-T/R to F-Open, should be interesting.

Joe Meyer made us some new range flags so this is going to be a great year for Fclass at St. Louis ! Looking forward to the great shooting I see coming. The way they busted up range records last year I just can't imagine what's next. I got work to do if I want to keep my head above water this year, lol

Mike, what are these matches "High Power NRA X/C 200-300-600"?

Is it like F class, but shot at 3 different distances? What type of rifle can be used? If you can give me the basic info about this then that would be great. Thanks Mike!

Hi Mike,

I guess due to the NBRSA Nationals followed by WBSF Championship, the BRRC will not be having the MO State F-Class Championship (two-day event) as it has for at least that last couple of years late in September.

Do you know where the MO State F-Class Championship* will be held?

Thx!

PS. * I really enjoyed those matches!

Alex, nothing has been slated yet that I know of. The only club that could put it on is St.Louis because there must be pits to hold one. There is a open date on Oct 3rd but it is only a one day opening. The big bench matches kinda messed up September for us at St.Louis.

Re: Benchrest Rifle Club of St. Louis April 2nd F-Class Match

I guess you have exploredthe idea of combining a high power match and extend it for 1 day

Re: Benchrest Rifle Club of St. Louis April 2nd F-Class Match

Getting closer shooters, I'm working on repair centers for the targets right now. Time to get the dust off those rifles and load up the ammo. A few of us are already practicing for the brawl that's about to commence in just over 2 weeks. Brett's got a fancy new rifle so be sure to check out all the knobs on his new scope. See you on the line.

Ah what the heck, count me in for the April match. I dont have anything better to do then hang with you guys. (And gals!) I may have a new trick up my sleeve this year? Professor Plum anyone?

Re: Benchrest Rifle Club of St. Louis April 2nd F-Class Match

Jacob , I've been wondering why you haven't been on the line much. You are a very talented shooter and should be taking advantage of your youth to gain a foothold in the sport. Glad to hear your coming back to the line.

Re: Benchrest Rifle Club of St. Louis April 2nd F-Class Match

Well it was a great day of practice today until I pierced a primer and broke my trigger. Looks like I have a couple weeks to replace the trigger and get a bushing installed on my bolt, so I can take Mike's dollar.

Well Brett, like they say in boxing.... That's a tough punch to throw when your flat on your back, Lol

I got a old deer rifle i can loan you for the match !

Re: Benchrest Rifle Club of St. Louis April 2nd F-Class Match

Ya ya ya. I also just realized when I pierced the primer I was using federal 205's and in the past I was only using cci 450's and didn't have an issue. I think using small rifle magnum 450 primers might be the ticket. I just grabbed a 1,000 of them. Now I just need to find a trigger.
