NLRC F-Class Training Weekend: 27 and 28 January 2018
The NLRC F-Class Section is presenting a 2 day refresher course for F-class shooters on 27 and 28 January 2018. Following last year’s successful training weekend, the course is geared to introduce shooters of all levels into F-class by combining practical and theoretical knowledge. Experienced international shooters will be presenting lectures, advising and coaching in both the FTR and OPEN sections F-class.

This is presented by the F-class section of the NLRC with the support of the NLRC committee. The NLRC has invested in comprehensive reloading room to support the endeavours of the F-Class shooter, and we are presenting the core skills and knowledge to shooters, that the bridge the skills from novice to club shooter. Participants of 14 years or older are welcome to attend. The NLRC has an active Youth shooting programme.

This is NOT the GB F-Class Association course that Mik and co, have presented so successfully for many years, The GB F-class association course will be running at the end of Feb 2018. The GB association League is one of the best in the world in terms of organisation and quality and the gap can be very intimating for most shooters looking at joining our sport.

UPDATE on weather forecast
The weather for SAT and SUN is looking good.

No Rain and 10+ mph winds - so a great opportunity to apply some wind reading
