The problem isn't the supply of targets, they are waiting for the supply of TR shooters to run out.:D

Not going to happen for a while. Maybe when I am old and gray or have more head then hair and my eye sight is failing, I will reluctantly switch to the dark side.:p
 
Tom, you will be so old then you will not be able to get off the firing line :p
You will be ASSIMILATED.... Borg talk eh :) Do it now while your knee's still work!

Actually, I hear and see you are a pretty good peep shooter Tom, and a really good wind reader.... maybe we don't want him shooting against us, eh Steve??? LZ??? Glen???

I think they may for TR shooters, but we are the bastard child still, the pgm probably is not updated to handle F Class, yet... I will ask Stan Frost next time I see him, tried to call him but his line was busy... he is just around the corner from me...

Fellas, the targets I've been shooting lately are what's commonly called the Wee Vee. In Alberta we've gone to a 1/2 MOA Vee face paster that fits inside the standard DRCA target face Vee. We split the F Class shooters out and the markers (usually the TR competitors) are informed to score a Vee on the Smaller Vee center, the regular Vee is then a 5, the regular 5 is then a 4, etc etc. When the TR shooters go, the markers ( now the F Class guy's) are notifed and they revert to scoring per the regular target and the small Vee is diregarded. Sounds hinkey but it works very well.

We shot the small Vee targets at the BC International out to 600m and at Oregon for the second part called the PNW for Long Range. They used the US 10X reduced LR target which is 5" X ring, 10" 10 ring, etc etc. The record I shot (if it stands) was on this reduced target. Weird winds at Douglas Ridge with verticals that are completely undetectable, not unlike Chilliwack and tons of mirage as bad (or good if you can read it) as any I've shot in Ottawa.

I assume over the next short period of time everyone will got to the smaller F Class target especially when the adoption of ICFRA rules is completed. One of the biggest lessons I learned was; if you shoot 5's for sighters.......Convert!

I like this because it makes Vee's and X's tie breakers. So you have to get all the 5's before the Vee's count.

Cheers, Glen

PS Keith, I just got in the door, phoned and it was busy. I'll try later
 
ahh... yess the WeeBull! hey Maynard now how's a Black shot spotter seen on a Black Veebull or Bull? Our scopes are good but not that good... or I'm using the wrong scope!

That's why I dropped a point:p

Missed it by this much.

There was much complaining when the US adopted the smaller target but things have settled down. Really all that happens is that the score matters THEN the X/V count breaks the tie.

At Kamloops, the Sat was an X ring day with quite a number of clean scores. Then the winds came and things settled down a schnick.

I believe 1st to 6th was separated by 2 points.

We might have to reduce our targets further....

I'm willing to buy some old style LR targets for practice shooting, at a good price of course!. Number #1 grandaughter needs LR targets to shoot at with the 6BR I'm building. Give me a price, we'll talk.

BTW John, watcha shooting this year, I'm very curious?
 
John,
Not te spotting disc the value indicator in the V postion, right hand side, halfway up the frame. Black side for the V Bull, red side for the Wee Bull. If TR and F class are squaded together either one scores a V for the TR guy. If it is red it is a V bull for the F class guy.

Glen,
Competitor marking? When you guys become more civilized and go with paid markers I might come out for a shoot:p
 
Tom, we had paid markers for years. The kids grew up, found significant others and got real jobs and we're still looking for replacements.

Cheers, Glen

John, just finished talking to Stan and he said the DCRA only tracks the Canadian Fullbore Rifle Championships scores shoot in Aug and the provinces track the provincial scores for classification purposes. If someone new shows up at Ottawa, their provincial classification would be accepted and that would be the class they would compete in.

At this point, it would not matter much to us FRs since we all shoot as one class, F Open or F and their is no classifications within our classes, like Master, Expert, SharpShooter, etc.

I hope we do start a classification within F Class soon too, like the TR shooters use, or we will start lossing the guys that never/seldom win. With more sub-classes, more guys win, same as TR.

I can see the sandbagger forming a line now to shoot in the greenshot class:p
Any "unknows" that show up without a classification in TR are automatically put in the Master Class until you prove you are a hacker by your shooting ability.

I think it depends on what they ate the night before?
 
If the DCRA follows the current NRA path, F Class shooter classification will probably come about sooner or later. When I compete down there without a classification, they do the same as the DCRA does if you're an unclassified TR type, you shoot as a Master. Really doesn't change much on the local scene as the numbers dictate lumping them all together anyway. The only place it may have any impact is when you've got 150 shooters of differing performance skills at major matches with enough competitors to award both the rifle catagories and all the classifications within.

I believe your NRA classification in the US is based on the previous 120 shot score from the last registered match. Not sure how it works after that.

Cheers, Glen
