Keith,
The other HUGE difference between "F" and BR for score is that in "F" you are unable to go back to the sighter to try and confirm a condition. Many BR shooters will screw around quite a lot on the sighter target in an attempt to recognize a favourable condition or understand the meaning of a given flag picture. In "F" class, you don't have this luxury.
No match is like short range BR but short range BR. If the KTSA wishes to call their match a BR match, I don't have a problem with them doing so. They are as much a BR match as the 1000 yard BR matches I have attended which were fired under the Pennsylvania 1000yd BR rules.
BC was, in fact, a hotbed of BR group shooting too. Thirty years ago and 70 miles north of Kamloops (Clearwater) was one of Canada's premier BR ranges. Wayne Miller will remember shooting at that range in the late '70's. Shoots were well attended by shooters from Washington and Oregon as well as the three western provinces. Notable shooters included Charlie Womock, Alex Bulman, the Forslund brothers (Bob and Albert), Nobby Uno, Joe Mendham, Lowell Boyd and a host of others. Visiting Americans included John Fry, Manley Oakley, Allen Bench, Lonnie Zimmerman and a bunch of others.The matches were run by Jack Neufeld and Lawrence Giesbrecht of Clearwater and were great matches. Regards, Bill
