Thread: Long Range Hunting and F-Class Target Shooting.

Back in South Africa we tried to bridge the gap between (TR) or Bisley as its commonly known, by hosting F-Class Hunter days where hunters and LR shooters could use their hunting and PRS rigs to shoot out to 1000m.

The guys went so far as to change the black circle to an animal silouette with the X positioned on the hart.

The hunters grew into it quite quickly and before long they were happy shooting at the normal TR targets.

Its definately a move in the right direction.

The SA Hunters (Basically NZDS) realized hunters found the normal 4P type shoots quite boring and started hosting different dissiplanes, aimed at simulating hunting situations.

I tried to do something simular once I settled in, but the interest is not there yet and some club commitees just cancels you immideately if you try to suggest something other than 4P.


I think the F-class hunter type shoot is a move in the right direction. Shooters interest has changed, forever.
