Well it isn’t just about mainland F Class shooting – we now have an international match in Ireland at the superb Midlands Shooting Centre range at Tullamore. As the July issue of Target Shooter is ‘put to bed’ in late June, we will see a re-run of the famous Creedmoor Match dating from the late 1800’s where Ireland took on the USA and allcomers.
The week-long event also included the Irish Open which means that the recently built 1200 yard Tullamore range is certainly going to be put to good
use. They even had a formal reception hosted by the Lord Mayor of Dublin and various government officials. (No chance of that happening over here but clearly, the Irish government are far more aware of their shooters’ sporting achievements than ours will ever be!)
We have several UK shooters taking part and we will have a report on the shoot for the August issue of Target Shooter from GB F Class Association Chairman, Des Parr.
As part of the Team USA tour, they are also going to shoot in Scotland at Blair Atholl, a range that will be familiar to anyone who already shoots in the GB F Class league. This match will be the Scottish Long Range shoot and also a Scotland V USA Team shoot. The Team shoot is due to take place on the 4th July so there could be some poetic justice in the outcome! Our own Laurie Holland will be part of the Scottish F/TR Team so you can be sure of a full ‘blow by blow’ account.
Coincidentally our own League shoots are now becoming genuine ‘internationals’ as we now have shooters from Spain, Netherlands, Ireland and Germany booked in for the long-range shoot at Diggle in August……F class just keeps getting bigger and bigger!!!
