Berger Southwest Nationals Match 1 Day 3 of Long Range F-Open

[@TheScienceofPhotography]

Really glad the footage worked out for you. I was really impressed with the match. Also, following up the 9 with an X was a real testament to your ability to reset and get right back to it.

[@FClassJohn]

Thank you so much for taking time out of your schedule to come do this for me. It was incredibly kind of you and the footage is absolutely amazing to watch.

[@travisweldmaster7815]

Yes absolutely and the....humility to say yeah I messed up and proceed to correct it. Good man

[@FClassJohn]

Really nice to see the target and shooter while in competition, great job and excellent shooting. One of the hurdles I struggled with in shooting competition was adjusting my "comfort zone" up as my skill level rose especially when you get to the level where you could win any match, many successful competitors I know use visualization to conquer this.

[@FClassJohn]

Thank you. Yeah I'm not perfect and I let my nerves get the better of me and lost focus. The good part is I realized what happened and settled down to finish out. It's a process and as along as I'm learning every time I'm out there I'll keep moving towards my goals.

Great shooting John I have been following your channel for a while...appreciate all you do for the shooting community...

[@FClassJohn]

Thank you.

[@Hvybarrel7]

I really appreciate this footage John. It was a really good glimpse into the F class competition.

[@tacitus7408]

Your KZbin channel is easily the best regarding long range shooting. The production is very well done and the information is vital to anyone trying to learn about shooting, equipment, and certainly reloading. Congratulations on your 4th place finish at SW Nationals!

[@FClassJohn]

Thank you for the kind words. I appreciate the support.

[@03patines]

Excellent video, John. Being able to see the bullet impacts (sighters) and then the target being scored adds a nice dimension to watching the match. Your comments also are helpful in understanding what goes through one's mind during a match. Thank You! Alex

[@FClassJohn]

Thank you. That’s very kind of you.

[@RichHodyl]

Great shooting there, John. Your confidence is showing more and more. Also, kudos to that puller - they really did a good job getting the target back up pronto and stayed with your rhythm.

[@FClassJohn]

Thank you for the kind words and yes the pullers were fantastic and kept that board moving for me.

[@meatspear4205]

OUTSTANDING shooting , congratulations! Well deserved!

[@FClassJohn]

Thank you

[@mikemabini6361]

Hell of a great job FCJ! Hope you had fun as well. Congratulations!

[@FClassJohn]

Thank you and yes it was an amazing match and so many great guys to hang out with. Great times.

[@martinsims6624]

Really appreciate the effort in getting the combination of shooter/target/flags/commentary together. Great work and good shooting.

[@FClassJohn]

Thank you for the kind words and I'm glad you enjoyed it.

[@glockparaastra]

Wow! Nice shooting John. Great conditions too. I’m shooting a competition here in South Africa (with strong winds at the coast) this weekend and I’m wrestling with the mental game now more than anything else. Thanks for the encouragement!

[@FClassJohn]

Thank you.

[@rob1135]

Kudos to the guys in the pit. Good speed

[@FClassJohn]

Absolutely and they were fantastic. You have to trust how the guys down there will pull when you start running like that. You can usually see what kind of puller(s) you have during sighters.

[@johantheron2877]

Congratulations John!! Well done!! Thank you for sharing with us. Couldn't wait to see you and Eric's videos of the nationals. Thank you for all the time and effort that you put in!!

Great shooting John! I know you are modest about your abilities and wouldn’t say it, but you have proven that you are one of the top F-class shooters. That is quite an accomplishment!

[@FClassJohn]

Thank you very much. I appreciate the kind words.

[@kobymaher8781]

Awesome to see you perform. Being fairly new (2ish years) to reloading ive learned a tremendous amount from your videos. It has made alot of things come together for me. So for that i thank you. Good luck 👍

[@FClassJohn]

Thank you and I'm glad it's helped you.

[@brettinnj]

Very interesting. I have never been to a match before and had no idea what it was like. The person in the pit gets quite a workout. Thanks for sharing.

Great video with the POV audio, I learned a lot. And great job on your shooting! Just watching these videos I can see your improvement. Huge difference in past matches, so great job man! Keep up with the mental gain, and then let us know your secret 😉.

[@FClassJohn]

Thank you for the kind words.

Great shooting John. I knew this one was going to be good. I caught Erik Cortina's video earlier. He mentioned that you did quite well. I really enjoy your videos.

Really nice shooting John. I have yet to shoot past 500 yards, something I want to do to see what I can do. So cool to watch a good shooter like yourself and Todd. Thanks for sharing.

[@FClassJohn]

My pleasure and I'm glad you like it.

[@johnmorgan2099]

Saw you on Eric's video. Great angle on the target camera. You can really see that brake doing it's thing.

[@FClassJohn]

Yeah the guy filming was great. As for a brake, we don't have them in F-Class, that's just natural recoil.

[@randygraham7693]

@@Forumrida38621 I shoot with Tod a lot and he's amazing. But he's also one of the nicest most nimble guys you'll ever meet. He wins the match and as soon as he shoots his last round and knows he won he calls his wife. Family guy and amazing friend.

Thanks!

[@planeiron241]

John when I use to shoot 1000yds the wind change was at 7 minutes cycle time, is that still correct. been along time not up on the game alot anymore. Things have changed and shooting is greatly improved, Congrats on your great SW nat finish, keep shootin small

[@FClassJohn]

Thank you for the kind words. As to the wind cycles it can very greatly. At times it was switching every 2-3 minutes, other times a condition would hold for 10-15 minutes. Ben Avery is a tricky range and most shooting is down with either a quartering head or tail wind.

[@DisgustedGenXr]

It’s still some pretty nice shooting man good job!

[@stevepodleski]

I don't think that two scoring disks showing "off target left" is in the NRA rule-book. I am surprised that your scorer did not help you in your sighting shots!?

[@FClassJohn]

Yeah honestly I wasn’t sure what the guys were doing with the double left paddle but figured they’d what they were doing since I knew I was off left. It did throw me at the time a little but I think I’ve seen it happen once or twice in the past and the puller is a world class shooter so I figured whatever he was doing was legal. My scorer did spot the impacts during sighters which is legal but he didn’t want to bother me until the fourth one. I should’ve better conveyed that in my commentary. Sorry about that.

[@mtnshooter2487]

To be a wind shooter, you have to shoot in the wind.

[@DOUGLASLASH-xy4ct]

NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT!

[@FClassJohn]

Thank you.
