Last Week
F-Class State Championships at Elk river Sportsman's Club
Hi Guys
The 2013 MR F-Class State
Championship was held at Elk River Sportsman's Club on July 27-28.
Special guests at the match was a film crew from Jim Scoutten's Shooting
USA TV show. They filmed the match and interviewed many competitors
about the sport of F-Class. The crew has done some filming at the
National Matches so they were familar with HP shooting. When they saw
the dimensions of the F-Class target being 75% smaller than the MR
target, they were amazed. I will let everyone know when the segments
will air. They say the camera adds 10 pounds, this means I really need
to go on a diet!
Saturday's the team match had 30 shooters competing for honors. After 60 shots, Team NorthStar had won the match with members Pat Scully, Ben Winget, Scott Brabec and 12 year old shooting phenom Tyson anchoring the team. Close behind was the Turret Twisters from Elk River. Maybe next year, the Twisters will take home the trophy...
The individual match was held on Sunday with 50 shooters firing 80 shots for record. Conditions were deceiving with light, but quickly switching winds and flags that never told the truth. At the end of the day, Ben Winget had secured the F-Open title with an amazing score of 795-48x. Close behind was Lisa Olson with a 791-46x to secure second. Jon clauson was third with a 791-44x. Those 6mmBR improved rifles can shoot! On the F-T/R side, Scott Brabec ran under the radar all day with everyone assuming he was an Open shooter. Scott's score of 786-31x secured the F-T/R trophy. Second went to Ed Higgins with a 779-25x and close behind for third was Mike Lehmeier with a 778-22x.
Medals were given out to first, second and third in each classification and discipline so many shooters went home with some hardware. Next years match looks to be even larger!
Thanks, Scott
FTR Class

Spotting Scope repair
I have recently been looking around to find the place to send my Kowa TSN1 spotting scope eyepiece to for cleaning or repair. The interior elements of the eye piece look like they have dust and smears on them and I can't get it unscrewed to clean it.
For repair Kowa Scopes should be sent to --
Kowa Optimid Inc
20001 South Vermont Avenue
Torrance, CA 90502
Phone: (800) 966-5692 or *(310) 327-1913 x 327*
Fax: (310) 327-4177
E-mail: CustomerService@kowa.com
Web site http://www.kowascope.com/
Turn around time is 3 weeks from when they receive the scope or eyepiece. You must call and make arrangements for repair, and get a RMA (Return Material Authorization) number before sending anything in.
OK, now that I know what to do, does anyone have a 25x LER Eye piece I could borrow for a few weeks?
