The easiest way would be to put together a club and get affiliated with a group like Washington state rifle and pistol association.

Well I may start shooting f-class next month.  Contacted Spokane rifle club,  going to a practice next week to see what's it's all about.

Picked up a phone scope. Went with nova grade. It’s heavy but I like it. Nice that it will work on any spotter. Got off my cold bore shot and reviewed video. Noticed it was shaky. Then checked my cheap tripod......broken.  Least I hit my cold bore today. 735 yards.  243. Target was far back tan square.

Any recommendations on tripods

I use a Manfrotto Befree.

It holds my 20-60x65mm Swarovski well and it’s still portable enough to throw in a pack. If size, weight and price aren’t a big concern I’d get something bigger just for a little extra stability.

Thanks I’ll check that out

I have the Manfrotto 055 and love it.  May be a little too heavy for backpacking though.

Outdoorsmans if your looking for tripod recommendations.
I think the medium is on sale for 10% off.

I have a s4 gear phone adaptor that works well. It’s pretty cool and sometimes aggravating to watch your own shots on video.

My only gripe with using an actual phone to take the video through a spotter is that you have to actually get up to look at the phone. I use a GoPro that connects to my phone through Bluetooth so that I can watch the video without ever moving. If I'm shooting past about 800 yards with a heavy recoiling gun I can usually fire the shot and watch the impact on my phone easier than I can spot the impacts in the scope.

Which Gopro Yorke?  I'm interested in that setup.  Thanks.

Mine is a Hero 4 Silver. I got it a few years ago and they've come out with a couple newer models since then. The good news is that you can get the Hero 4 model for some great prices now.

I can film in 4K but only at 15 fps, some of the newer models will actually film 4K at 30 or even 60 fps. I typically have it set on 1080p at 60 fps and the quality looks great. I'd probably look for a good deal on one of the older models unless you really want to film at a high frame rate or in 4K.

The camera has bluetooth built in?  What kind of range can you get from the camera to the phone?
