Hi guys,

I'm starting to get bitten by the match bug, and I'm thinking about getting into some casual shooting. I live close to the Homestead range, so events there are ideal. I was thinking about some sort of shoot where you're going for steel silhouettes at various medium to long range distances, from different field positions. Is there such a thing?

Sorry for the newb question, but can someone please explain the different match shoots to me? What is involved with F-class, and perhaps 1 or 2 of the other most common match types?

Thanks
Jordan
