Wow what a weekend. Temps in the high 20's Saturday and high teens today, we couldn't have asked for better weather. We could have asked for less wind...but what fun would that be? :rolleyes:

Maybe we need to rename this shoot to the Balmy Farky as it has not lived up to it's Frosty name for the past 2 years. :D

I hope everyone who attended had a good time.

We had an unprecedented 20 F-Open shooters attend this years match along with 5 Benchers, 7 F-TR's and 3 TR shooters.

Shooters came from as far as Saskatchewan and Alberta as well as the Kootenays, the Wet Coast and the Okanagan as well as our regular yocals.

Congratulations to the winners of the daily and 2 day Aggs.

I had predicted Saturday morning that there would be NO 75.15v scores this weekend and I was correct. Best score of the weekend was posted by Ron Hiller with an impressive 75.13v on his last relay of the match.

Here are the results.

Our "Top New Shooter" award went to Luc Thibault. This was for those who had never shot a match in Kamloops in the past.

Bro,

Your talents on the range leave me freakin' speachless. Less than 3 years ago you were bashing away at gophers using a factory tikka 223 and today you are without a doubt the best F-Class shooter in the west, if not the country. Today makes it makes a hat trick with you having won every major BC shooting match this year! I have been playing bride's maid to you all season, but I can live with that. Losing so such an incredibly gifted shooter is acceptable! Losing to SteveB made me feel like a retard. (KIDDING MAN!!!! I'M JUST KIDDING!!!!!!!!!)

What was just as gratifying is seeing so many enthusiastic new shooters joing the ranks!!! Caroline and Wendy have proven that we had better pull up our pants (ok, poor metaphore... REALLY poor metaphore) and take notice. As good as you are bro, the fairer ### are proving that they can be darned good at this in less time.

It was fantastic getting to see so many excellent shooters and fond acquaintances such as "Leeper" "Mysticplayer" "Shockman" "Hampstertipper" "Bigflint" and even the Weiner-felon.

The match was the best ever and my hat goes off to you for such a great event, a great year and a great season!! You make me very proud.

Your bro,

Ian

Richard, that was WAAAAAYYYY too much fun. A super well run event, the best target pullers in the 4 yrs I have shot the Farky. Superb weather. Devilish Winds.

That, you have figured out to an art form.

Me, mother nature gave me a good spanking (not in a good way....). Learnt lots, and lots to tweak.

A most unforgiving target.... A VERY GOOD THING.

Was wonderful chatting with old and new acquaintances. Sharing lots of laughs and lots of tech.

It was also fantastic to see a proof of concept occur with SteveB showing what that 90gr BERGER VLD can do in some really hellish winds.

Great to see new shooters taking it to the old timer. Congrats to Lee Blaine for a superb win being so new to the sport. To Luc Thibault as the best shooting newbie. To all the new shooters who kept improving throughout the weekend.

I look forward to the spring and more of the same fun. Hope everyone gets home safe.

Does this mean you'll not be hiding my rifle in the bushes anymore? ;)

Thanks Ian, but I owe it all to you (for inviting me out to "ISSF practice night", getting me started and helping me pick my build components), Tom Fripp (For letting me pull the trigger on my first F-Class rig), Jim Benge, Mark Anderson, Barry Prost, Gun Plumber Extraordinaire...Mick McPhee and the rest of the Kamloops crew for all their years of wisdom that they shared. I wouldn't have been as lucky on the range as I was this year without the help you guys have given over the past few years. (Now to find sponsors to help pay for this addiction...LOL)

Lee Blaine also deserves accolades for his spectacular performance this weekend, beating out very talented shooters, some of who, have been putting lead down range longer than he has been alive.....Way to go Lee!!!!

Now....to sucker in more new people. :D

I also forgot to mention that our "New Shooter" award winner is a mere 15 years old. Good shootin' Luc....I'm watchin my back.

Hi Guy's, Congrats to all the winners. Thanks Richard, Ian, Marc, Mark, Judy, Mick, Bill and the rest of KTSA group. I haven't had that many laughs in a hell of a long time. Got home real late but we giggled all the way. Keith was stilll smiling when he headed out for S'ktoon. We'll be back. Thanks for the marvelous show. Sorry we couldn't stay for the festivities but you know how it is. See you at the "Running".

Cheers, Glen

PS: I hope your hambuger guy makes it "out" for the "Running". Who's getting the reward?
Cheers, Glen

Don't forget that Luc was only ONE point behind his dad and had a better V-Cow count :D
 
For Richard and all the KTSA club, WOW WHAT A SHOW YOU CAN PUT ON

WELL DONE !

Not sure how much you had to promise mother nature for the challengeing
conditions( good thing) but what a curve.
We had, and have always had a fantastic time at Kamloops & are always eager to go back. We'll both say this if you can only make it to certain events KTSA range should surely be on the list.
Thanks again & congratulations to all the Pullers(excellent), Participants and Placers.

Ron & Wendy
 
Congrats Rich, we figured you had it when we left early. I was shooting left overs from Ottawa here, and the only match I shot with all 17 rounds the same was the last one were I got a 74-7 (I was pretty excited to have all 17 rounds the same for once :) Took 6 boxes of 60's to get 17 rounds for the second match and it shows eh LOL.) Next time I will have to get serious I guess and actually use similair cases and powder charges.

Now for some question for you Richard,
- Who's bullets are you shooting?
- Do you weight and sort your bullets?
- Do you weight and sort your empty cases? or maybe sort the final loaded rounds?

You were using a 6BR,
what brass type?
Tight neck?
Neck turned brass?
Who's Reamer?
What powder type and charge weight you use?
What primer?
Did you use mirage, or that and the flags? and if the flags, which one for the right to left and which for the left to right?


I ask these since I know you must have done all your homework to only drop one point out of a possible 75 rounds on that very small .4 moa Vbull target!

Nice shooting RD!!

Now for some question for you Richard,
- Who's bullets are you shooting? Mine....I bought them myself
- Do you weight and sort your bullets? I weight sort by box (Hint: They have the weight written on the outside of the box) :rolleyes:
- Do you weight and sort your empty cases? or maybe sort the final loaded rounds? Empty cases yes by 1grn increments

You were using a 6BR,
what brass type? The Best :rockOn:
Tight neck? Nope....Tight A$$ :p
Neck turned brass? Yep...all the way around
Who's Reamer? Micks :wave:
What powder type and charge weight you use? Extruded Powder and enough of it to get my bullet into the target face
What primer? The Silver colored ones cuz they're shinier than the brass colored ones
Did you use mirage, or that and the flags? and if the flags, which one for the right to left and which for the left to right? Mirage.....Flags...PFFFT. I just hold where I feel will get the bullet closest to the middle. :puke:

Now on a serious note:

Now for some question for you Richard,
- Who's bullets are you shooting? Berger 105 VLD
- Do you weight and sort your bullets? No
- Do you weight and sort your empty cases? or maybe sort the final loaded rounds? Cases are sorted into 1grn increments....the Lapua brass is so consistent that out of 600 cases I ended up with around 450 cases in the 126 - 126.9 range, 120ish in the 127 - 127.9 range and the rest were either above or below those weights. I also sort loaded rounds by Bullet runout but only for the longer ranges.

You were using a 6BR,
what brass type? Lapua
Tight neck? No turn Neck
Neck turned brass? Turned to about 80-90% cleaned up
Who's Reamer? I use what Mick has...I would have to ask who's reamer he uses but I know it was throated for Sierra bulletws but the Berger's just work so damned good in it.
What powder type and charge weight you use? Varget - 31.2grn
What primer? CCI 450 Magnum
Did you use mirage, or that and the flags? and if the flags, which one for the right to left and which for the left to right? I did watch mirage but there was no flag I watched in particular I only checked to see they were either pointing left or right and to what degree they were out from the poles. When we practice we don't use windflags other than the red range flag we put up at the 300m point so I tend to use the mirage as my main indicator which is probably why I tend to tank in really windy conditions at the longer ranges.

F/tr, tr

I have only shot in Tactical/Sniper competitions but very interested in shooting other different disciplines, especially F/TR or TR. I am sure you can learn a ton and make some new friends in the shooting community. There are so many classes it is confusing. I will only be shooting 308 and would like to know the difference in F/TR and just TR.
 
F/TR is a scoped rifle shot prone off a Bipod and a rear bag in either .223 or .308

TR is shot prone off your elbows with you supporting the rifle via a shooting jacket, sling, handstop, etc... using Iron Peep Sights. Same calibers.

George Farquharson, when he could no longer shoot TR due to his aging eyes, took his TR rifle, put a scope on it and attached a bipod so that he could keep shooting the sport he loved so much. Thus F-Class bares his name (or at least his first initial).

F/TR is AKA Farky Class...or used to be before ICFRA was formed.
 
If you are shooting tactical class now with a 308 or 223, you would be able to slide over perfectly into the F-"restricted" (Formerly "F-TR") The new "restricted" class allows any bullet weight whereas the old FTR employed all the technical rules governing a TR rifle including bullet weight restrictions.

For simplicity sake, the FTR classification is being replaced by F-Restricted many PRA/gun club matches.
 
Ass Kicking

As you can see Obtunded summed it up pretty good.

My Wife may have kicked my ass but I wasn't the only male ego that got bruised that day.

I'm glad my 11 year old daughter decided not to shoot or it my have been worse.

I'm a little surprised that CYaN1de hasn't rubbed a little salt in the ego yet.

Well gents "EVERY DOG HAS HIS DAY".

Just wanted to Thank all the Members of the Kamloops Club that made this ass kicking possible, she couldn't have done without their guidance and support.

Thanks again.
