Ed, where can I get more details about this? With the ability to shoot from a bench, it would allow me to shoot. I'm needing to know about permitted guns, ammo and ancillary equipment?

Thanks for posting this,

Jim

It's F Class
the basics:
Single shot (no Mags)
Any optics
no muzzle brakes
rear sandbag
Targets:
x ring = 1/2 moa (3" @ 600yrds)
10 ring = 1 moa
9 ring = 2 moa
8 ring = 3 moa

there are 2 categories,
F/TR - .223 or .308, shot off bipod ~18# rifle wt limit
F/ Open - any rifle caliber up to .35; typically shot from rest, 22# rifle wt limit

The mandatory orientation will answer most questions.

The League Director's contact info is on the Accurate Shooter forum. (I Chose not to post personal info here).

PM in bound

I just checked Elk River's Calendar: http://www.ersportsman.com/Calendar.asp

Nothing listed for league orientation, wind clinic, or league dates.
Some sanctioned matches are listed.

I'm not a member there, but several members are also members at GRRC, and we have a meeting tomorrow/ Tuesday night.
I will try to learn if the league will be held this year.
Mia Rhode's site has the sanctioned matches posted. (E R league is not sanctioned)
