Have been here at the NRA Whiddington Center for a few days now getting acclimatized and doing some sightseeing recon.
The majority of Team Canada are to be arriving here tomorrow and in the next 2 days.
Officials confirm 16 Countries have registered Teams for the upcoming US F Class Nats and the following World Championships.
This promises to be the biggest F'ing Worlds ever....
Found a wifi connection on shotgun range at coffee house...usually works.
This place IS IMPRESSIVE!!
Will try and post some pics I took today when I get them loaded onto laptop.
Cannot promise a daily update ,but will do what I can.Perhaps other members of the Team who are more
fluent with computers and more "W.Cronkite" with reporting can jump in and add some.
FWIW....wildlife is abundant.Met a group taking the NRA Shooting University course....Back in the mountains.
Nice place....firearms are a way of life here!!!
Regards
Gord

16 F'ing countries? Let's just hope the next time the World F Class Championship is in Canada we get that big of a turn out.

Limited at one point near the shotgun range - if you see someone on Skype eating up the bandwidth, don't be gentle.

The top three are very close after shooting Today Friday no official results as yet Kenny, Fred & Bill Mc Donald i watch them shoot a 2 +15 at 800 m 6.30 Pm I have never seen a more perfect evening to shoot. it was absolutely beautiful.
Ken 73 6 or 7 V, Fred 75 with 7 v and Bill 75 7 or 8 vs they are all within 2 or 3 points of each other. I think Leo D amour is in top spot in F open
