Looking for longrange shooting partners

[sansooshooter]

Hi new to this forum. I am just getting my feet wet in long range shooting and am looking for training partners or old hands to shoot with.
I have a short range on my property 150 yrds most of the year . longer in winter 230 yards.
Am going to try F class. I am located just north of Andover. Pm me if you want to team up.

I am not new to shooting guys ! Been shooting for over 30 years. Just changing my focus and moving into longer range and bolt guns!
Still run the AK and AR. As well as pistol. Lots of lookers . But no takers.

Elk River Sportsman's Club has a large F-Class group. They had a Monday night league last summer, I would guess they will do it again this year but I haven't seen any information yet. http://www.ersportsman.com/FClass.asp

They have been runnning that Monday night leauge at ER for qyite a while. I have shot F-Class up ther quite a few times.

Wish I could still, but the work schedule won't allow for it.

sansooshooter, do you have access to a range longer than 230? 200 is a chip shot.

Give me a PM when you find a 1000 yard or longer range.

50BMG is my caliber of choice.

What's yours?

I know 200 is short. Its what I own and for run and gun it works great.
I am going to give Elk river a go and maybe find some guys there to work with.

Caliber depends on job at hand. Lately been running the AK-74 and 1911 .45. For drills.
I dont have anything bigger than .308 STG-58. Its a good Battle rifle but hardly a precision long range
Just got a rem 700 .223 sps tac. Gonna work that and see if I want to move to .308 bolt down the road.

The Elk River Monday nights are great, I try to make most of them as long as it’s not super hot/humid. You better get your stuff together if you want to play this year, they have a mandatory orientation on the 9th and another mandatory equipment check the week after on the 16th You wouldn’t believe how many rifles are inaccurate to the point where they are simply not capable of shooting 300-600 yards and keep every bullet on target. Also many people quickly find that they do not have enough adjustment in the optic system to reach out that far, this all shows up in the equipment check and is why it’s so important that you attend these first two meetings, Both nights are free of charge.

We have some great guys working in the F-Class crew. This past year ERSC members took the top 3 spots in the F-T/R division at the state midrange championships, also another ERSC member took first place In the Open division, 4 out of 6 aint bad, especially considering that’s not counting another 6 or so that routinely shoot 200’s with high X counts.

If anyone needs more info I can put them in touch with guys running it, you would not need a rifle for the first meeting, I know that, it’s mostly a intro explaining how the scoring works, how to run the targets, and other general knowledge about what to expect when playing the 300-600yd game.
