Field Target is labor intensive, no way around it. But we have this insane passion for it and will labor away for even just a couple of shooters. Add in any landscaping and mowing and it’s doubled depending where you are and the time of year. Some courses are also just easier to set up than...

Oops. How about a few pics?

Forgive the screenshot of the results, posting this from my phone and before coffee. We had 2 N50 matches, first one starting at 1:30 with 11 competitors, (6 shooting airgun and 5 rimfire), and the second match starting at 4:00 where 6 competitors stayed to do it a second time. (3 airgun and 3...

Hello fellow shooters! Let’s try a match again. One thing I will mention about past cancellations is that Boerne is cautious when it rains because our Field Target course is on the side of a hill with just over 10’ in elevation change from lane 1 to 10. Traversing up the steeper portion of the...

Another weather related cancellation 😞

Boerne, TX April FT match is cancelled.😞 Weather.

Dry lube the hammer and hammer area once in a while. Better yet, deburr and hone the hammer area only with a ball hone then clean, dry and dry lube with graphite powder. Also watch over tightening the rear screws and a loose pin on the hammer. Locktite helps the pin. Lastly, check your hammer...

The targets will likely outlast most of us, but his words and actions will carry on the farthest. The best advice and memory he gave to me happened while I was visiting AZ. We shot together at a Tuesday match and during a shot setup his words were simply invaluable, even in everyday life. And...
