New to shooting competition

[JenZ]

I started shooting 5 months ago with the help of a mentor. After deciding F class was where I wanted to compete it was time to purchase my own rifle. We chose the Savage model 12 F T/R in .308. Great shoot straight out of the box and have not looked back. Competed in my first F Class competition a couple weeks ago, took first in F T/R and second in overall match with a 587 - 26 X. Looking forward to the next match!

Thanks everyone for the welcome. I am looking forward to forum discussions and some serious shooting. Match number two coming up this coming weekend!

I read the rules and would love to do this. Is the centerfire target same as the rimfire target? I did not see a centerfire target

You're using whatever target you choose in centerfire classes.
3. All target entries shall be 3 groups of 5(3 rounds for HS classes) rounds each, and the average group size, shot consecutively at 100yds for all Center fire, and 50yds for all Rimfire. Modification for 2015 and later: Center fire groups may be shot at ranges beyond 100 yards. Measure the actual group sizes in inches and report the group sizes and the range at which the groups were shot to the moderator, who will compute an effective group size at 100 yards. (Group sizes shot at 200 yards will be divided by 2, etc.)

Hey JenZ. Sorry for any confusion. For centerfire, you can use any targets you like. Any piece of paper where you can pick aiming points and measure your group sizes will do.

Some entrants shoot all three groups on one target big enough to provide distinct points of aim. Others use a different piece of paper for each group. Whatever works for you.

Please send your group sizes to me in a PM and then post a description of your rifle and conditions here:
