Does anyone know when the next 1000 yard F-Class is scheduled at Blakely Georgia? I've never been there and would like to get up there for the F-Class and the steel match.

phoneman, have you shot the 1000 yard F-Class? Do you plan on making this one? I've never been there, I keep trying to make it but things come up here and there. How's the wind on this range?

I shot the matches they held last year but have not shot any of the matches this year. I plan on being there for the next match--pretty easy since I only live about 45 minutes away. The wind there can be pretty tricky-especially this time of year-but it usually runs across the course either easterly or westerly depending on the weather. I have shot there several times on weekends when the range was open and usually need 3-5 moa of windage with my 260. It's a nice range--you won't be disappointed.

That's a good question about the brake. At Malabar you can not use a brake. I have a 6CM with a brake on it that I shot the State Championship down at Malabar and had to remove it to compete. Maybe someone that knows the NRA rules will chime in. I'm not sure how they run the shoot, I guess a phonecall would shine some light on this. Got the day off and if I can get my around to it I'll call.

From the NRA rule book (Revised January, 2011. No changes to this rule in the 2012 addendum.)
3.16.1 Compensators and Muzzle Brakes - The use of compensators or muzzle brakes is prohibited. An extension tube that has been installed on the muzzle of a rifle to extend the sight radius shall not be considered a “muzzle brake.” The extension tube must have an interior diameter of .5 inches or greater and may have 1/4” x 1” slots cut at 12 and 6 o’clock to remove cleaning patches. Threaded holes along the top of this tube for the
installation of sight bases will be allowed.
(a) Sound suppressors are not authorized for use in high power competition.
