Started in NRA Service Rifle in 2009 and have progressed to sling and irons prone only this year
1. I shot like 40 years with a sling and have tried F class and it is a practical way for me to check loads...but I'd still shoot them prone with a sling for the final pick.I've shot with a sling for some years but recently started shooting F-Class as well, so I'm curious about the journey others have had. If you shoot or have shot both with sling and F-Class, please tell me:
1. Did you start with one of them and then move permanently to the other?
2. Did you start with one and now shoot both?
3. Have you gone back and forth?
Thank you.

Reid was a good man, back when i was first shooting, i had the pleasure of shooting with him at some 300 yard walk up matches in Boone NCStarted with FClass in 2005 with the help of a sling shooter, Reid Perry. I've stayed with FClass.
Let's keep an open mind and give credit where credit is due.F class opens the door to be called belly bench rest.Now make no mistake I understand the body breaking down!!!But to be a good f class shooter it is more of a gadget game,like getting 12 barrels at a time to see which is the best one.Keeping an open mind top slingers can do the same thing but you still have to hold it!And a miss read in the wind has the same penalty!Although I have the distinguished honor of sucking at both,sling brings back memories of bow hunting where man,machine ,and target are one!And it is more of a feel than anything else,but that could be GAS!![]()
