2011 Western Canada F-Class Championship

Too bad I have to stay in Sask to run the Driller's but I said I would and it is a match myself and another guy have been runnning for a few years now.

Any of you going to the Western Canada F-Class Championship Match at Homestead should really think about making it a longer stay by 6 days, and you can catch two good matches(354 rounds in total) and have 3 days off in between them! I'm going to the first one, their Prov's, then heading back to Nokomis to run the Driller's.

Additional Match Instructions for Competitors:

• Please be advised that any rifles (and attachments) to be used by a competitor during the match must be submitted by the competitor for inspection by the Match Director or their delegate (weighed, safe trigger confirmed, fore end measured, etc.) at the time of registration. Failure to submit a rifle(s) for inspection or use of a rifle which has not been inspected will result in the competitor being deemed ineligible and/or disqualified from the match and prizes. Except by prior special arrangement with the Match Director, all competitors must register in person and have their rifle inspected on Thursday June 30, 2011.

• All matches will be fired in squadded relays of three grouped shooters per relay alternating shot for shot (Bisley Style). Relays on the first two days will be random, while the final day relays will be determined by placement (seeded). Squadding assignments will be available one half hour prior to the start of each day’s matches

• Competitors will not be required to pull and mark targets. Marking staff services are included in the match fee.

• Rifles will be placed either on the supplied rifle racks or on the line. No rifles will be left upon the ground.

• At no time is a competitor to leave the firing line with a loaded rifle. All competitors are responsible for safe rifles while on the firing line. At no time should a rifle be removed from position with out the competitor having first placed an ECI in the empty chamber of their rifle and verified by the competitor’s scorekeeper and the Range Officer. The penalty for violating this rule is disqualification for both competitor and scorekeeper.

• Competitors are permitted 45 seconds per shot. At three to a mound and a 2+15 round match, this is 38.25 minutes. Each Relay will have 45 minutes to set up, shoot and retire. This will be based upon a 3 minute prep (including the move forward to the line), 2 minute target exposure (dry firing permitted) and 40 minutes to shoot and get off of the firing line. No ammunition may be loaded until the command to do so is made by the Range Officer. Time limits will be strictly enforced.

• At the beginning of each relay, competitors will be allowed a 3 minute preparation period. The ECI may be removed, but no ammunition may be loaded at this time. Anyone who fires a shot during the preparation period will be disqualified from the competition.

• Fouling shots will be permitted for a 5 minute period at the first shooting position for each shooter on the first day only. Rounds will be fired onto the targets and hits will be indicated. Shots will be alternated by the competitors on each target.

• The following relay is expected to have their gear behind the firing line 10-15 minutes in advance of their scheduled firing time, in the event that the relay may start early. Late arrivals will not be allowed to insert into the firing line and will score zero for that relay.

• Parking adjacent to the 800m point and at the 900m will be limited to RSO and handicapped competitors only (no competitor parking, so be prepared to walk the distance from the 800m parking area to the 900m point via the road. Range carts are encouraged.
