Thread: Ashburton f class Sweep

Ashburton shooting range are having the Ashburton "sweep" this sunday 22nd sept.
10x shoots to score(plus 2 sighters) at 300yards 600yards and 700yards. Most tof the entry money goes back into prize money for the day.
Section22 and the canterbury lead slingers have a crew going along with their practical rifles.
its a good event if any one wants to come along to test the waters of "F Class" or test and verify your dope.

How did it go? Turnout?
Using the new Solos or orig version?

Only had 3 practical shooters turn up in the end. few couldn't make on the day. Was a great day I shot poorly, other guys shot well. The ashburton club and a couple other are actively trying to get More hunters and field/precision shooters on to the range by creating a new division in f-class to suit precision/practical rifles.

@blair993, just saw this now. myself and another mate would be keen to join the next shoot - is there somewhere we can sign up, or just watch out on here?

I normally try to go when they are shooting multiple ranges and will put it up on my section22 facebook group and will try to post it here when i can. Ashburton have a facebook page with details on it. They will add you to the mailing list. Next i will try to be at will be 13th october.

Ashbrton range this weekend 300 500 and 600yards.

I went and watched the shoot last Sunday, then sighted in a hunting rifle at the end.
Friendly bunch of guys. Some bloody good shooting on display.
A guy in a wheelchair shot a couple of nice groups at 600yrds
Was a good way to spend an afternoon
