I get the 3’ x 4’ horse stall mat from tractor supply and cut it into a rectangle the size I need. The mat is rubber and is 1/2” thick. I cut the mat with a utility knife and straight edge. Then I use yoga mat cut to fit the horse mat and use contact cement to glue it to the mat. I’ll make a video sometime showing the mat.
@gtroxlar8597 Most serious competitors I’ve seen are shooting 200 grain bullets at 1,000 yds. For 600 yds, some shooters, including me use 185 grain bullets. I also shoot 175 grain for practice.
Nice shooting. I also compete in FTR but only shoot midrange 600 and LR 1000 yds. I do know everything becomes more amplified at longer ranges. So if you miss a wind call at 600, that’s a 9 but at LR, it’s an 8. How does 300 compare?
Thanks! The 300yd target is smaller relative to the 600 and 1000 yard targets relative to MOA. i.e. 10 ring is 2.85 “ rather than 3”. Even so, there is a greater margin of error at 300. If I miss a wind call, it may be a 9, or it could be a liner 10. Wind has to be pretty inconsistent, switchy and stiff to shoot an 8.
Thank you for posting the video as it is helpful for those of us looking to get into F class.
Glad you like the video! Thanks for the comment.
After your recommendation I ordered a Pheonix bipod.
Hope it works out for you.
Excellent video and great job explaining the details of the sport. Thank you
Glad you enjoyed it!
Can you show what you rest you bipod on? I am trying to decide what to use.

@@targetrifle Thank you for the info. A video would really help newcomers to the sport like myself.
@@airborne350gI’m going to upload a video soon showing the bipod mat I use.
What grain 30 caliber bullet do most F/TR shoot?
