F-Class
Also: F-Open · F-TR
A prone, slow-fire target discipline shot with bipod and rear bag at long range, chasing the tightest possible groups on scoring rings.
F-Class is a long-range target discipline fired from the prone position with the support of a front rest or bipod and a rear bag. Shooters fire slowly and deliberately at scoring rings out to 1,000 yards and beyond, with each shot pulled and marked so the competitor can correct before the next. The game is essentially a portable version of benchrest precision laid out on a known-distance range.
The sport splits into two main divisions. F-Open allows large-caliber custom rifles and front pedestal rests, while F-TR restricts shooters to the .223 and .308 with a bipod only. Both divisions live and die on match-grade ammunition and equipment, because the scoring rings are small and the winner is the shooter whose group stays inside them shot after shot.
