Canadian F Class National Championships (CFNC) Aug13-15 America's Match Aug 16

[ONT0001]

For those that are attending I'm sure that they have had this marked on the calendar for sometime.
For those unaware ,it is the annual National Championship for F Class Long Range competitors held annually on the
Connaught Ranges in Ottawa .
As there hasn't been a post started yet regarding this,I thought I'd get one going.

This promises to be a stellar year for the Nationals as attendance from across this country is booked and entries at a good level.
In addition, a number of our friends from the US and England will be there to not only shoot the Nationals, but to
participate in the America's Team Match following the Nats.
Scott,Barry,Kathy and all the Ottawa gang have been busy getting everything organized and Eric and his Team are hard
at work putting together a Canadian Team to win at the America's.
This is the first time (that I'm aware of) that the F Class America's Match will be shot as a sole entity and not
"alongside" the TR America's Match.

If it were any kind of a spectator sport, I'd invite ya'll out to watch,but in truth ,I think that unless you're shooting it,it can be
a little like watching grass grow.

Hopefully as the Matches get underway ,some computer/camera savy person will have time to post some pics and
commentary to keep things interesting.....

Anyways....looking forward to seeing a lot of you there.
Regards
Gord


PS Have been informed that barrack accommodation WILL be available for this.

Looking forward to this Gord - see you in a few weeks. Are you planning for sun or rain??? Need to know what you've set up for us traveling in.

In creating the revised F-Class Nationals in Canada, plus the America Match for 2014 and the upcoming F-Class World Championship in 2017 at Connaught, I'm looking forward to seeing a lot of new faces, plus the 'regulars'!

Based on the numbers I've seen we are going to have a very full range for both Nationals and the America Match. I would not be surprised if we end up north of 75 shooters, which may require some rejigging of the course of fire for Friday morning.

We'll also have three alongside teams shooting the America Match with the Canadian and US National teams, including a Canadian U25 team, an 2nd US team, and an 8 man team from Star Shooter. It's going to be a great time, and I look forward to seeing you there!
