USA F-Open in South Africa at the Worlds

[Turbulent Turtle]

Rain causing the cancellation of the 900m portion for a competition day at the Worlds is a tradition. The same thing happened in Ottawa in 2017.

Well then...guess everyone just sat around and listened to Toto sing "Africa"?

Leon Schuster's, "hier kom die bokke". Ask one of the SA guys im sure they will have the CD in a Hilux some where

One can listen to that non stop until they're dead in the Namibian desert.

Looks like Tod Hendricks won the Dave Smith Cup in F-Open, and Mike Plunkett won it in F-TR. Well done.

Day two of the South African championships. For the ISA f open Tod Hendricks did very well and won 700m in a shoot off. Conditions started fairly mild with a twitchy tailwind but got a little nasty at 800m with a full value strong wind with constant switches and let offs. There was some very good shooting. In the evening we had prize giving and meet and greet.

I found this video of the Free State Cup tie shoot off which was won by Tod Hendricks.

Erik Cortina did a great job with the video.

Sorry I missed yesterday, was down with a GI bug. But today is the last day of the South African national. Two of our boys made the 15 person shoot off.

Erik Cortina and David Christian

Try to get back to it as I am feeling better.

Erik is on fire!

I am confused as to what match names represent what distances and format. Can anyone please explain. Also in the standings where the country represented some people have a string of numbers. I know I am new to this and I am having a hard time following. Thank you for any help and clarification. GO USA!

Congratulations @Erik Cortina

Erik shot both his .284 Shehane and 7 PRCW (7-6.5 PRC - Wheeler). It wasn't the cartridge.

I can try to help with some of it. I'm sure I'll get it wrong.
This first week is the South Africa Open F-Class Championship.
Competitors with numbers instead of a country are individual competitors not affiliated to a national team. Think of it like the US F-Class Nationals where it's an open competition. But, the US team and others register to compete.
For Individual Competition each day there are 3 matches. Each match has a name, which has significance for the SA Bisley Union.
All matches are conducted under ICFRA rules.
The targets are ICFRA targets where instead of an X ring, it's a V, and the 10 ring is a 5.
Course of fire is 2 sighters, 15 shots for record. I believe the sighters are convertible. Firing is pair fire.
The first match of the day is at 700M, then 800M, then 900M For example,
Day 1
The Free State Cup was shot at 700M
The Municipal Cup 800M
The Dalrymple Cup 900M

Next week, 03/26-04/01 is the F-Class World Championships.
It will follow the same rules and format as the SA Open Championship.
