By far the fastest growing shooting sport, F-Class is shot prone at distances of 300 to 1200 yards. Competitors may use almost any caliber rifle, a scope, and a front and rear rest or bipod.

F-Class is an ideal sport for beginning competitive shooters, both male and female, young and old. Click here to learn more about this shooting discipline.
