I have promised myself I will get back into competitive shooting...Camp Butner is just a couple hours away in NC and is a regional hun for F-Class...I plan on shooting a couple of matched this spring and early summer.

What would you F-Classers advise me to do to get ready...

Rifle is a 110FP in 24" .308 20X SWFA scope on 20MOA EGW, CDI DBM (I know single shot) with a Harris Bipod I plan on shooting FTR.

I have a 60x spotting scope with stand, a range bag, a shooting mat is inbound. I shot with a shooting jacket in the Corps but I dont see many people shooting F Class with this so is this necessary?

What drills or practive regimen can I do to get ready short of range time...my local 300yd range is 45 minutes away.

I have been shooting FGMM 175gr as its as accurate in my gun as any handloads I've been able to come up with so far at .3 to .5MOA fairly consistently. I cant argue with that. So I plan on using FGMM at the matches...a little pricey but hey its accurate...

One thing I do plan on doing is getting a few snap caps and getting into the back yard and doing what we called in the Marines "Snapping In" getting prone and dry firing dozens and dozens of times over and over getting the firing sequence down as muscle memory and really getting my head into the mechanics of it...

Any other tips, advice you can give me is greatly appreciated.

Thanks
