I have been playing around with a couple different ideas on a better butt plate assembly for my Ghost. I tried the first iteration a couple weeks ago at my first field target match. Well, first with my own gun and gear :D I liked how the first one felt and how the rifle mounted to my shoulder...

I was one of the new guys at the match... Had a great time and everyone was very helpful and fun! Thank you so much to Wes C for taking time to chat with me A LOT before the match, and help get me prepared and know what to expect. Another huge thank you to Kent G who drew the short straw and...

I was fortunate enough to shoot at Mormon Lake last year, Franklink was kind enough to lend me an awesome rifle to try field target. Actually everyone there generously let both my wife and I shoot a ton of different airguns. We had a blast and are hooked! I finally got a rifle and some gear...

I am a pretty new member. After trying a field target match this past summer, I finally picked up my first air rifle a few weeks ago. I am having a blast and shooting pretty much every day! I decided to try a 30 yard challenge for the first time today... It's tougher than it looks :) I am...

Thank you Steve! I hope to try some different weight pellets and see what happens. Not sure if I would try .17 slugs or go to a .22 barrel for higher power. It is awesome to shoot so much without filling! As much as I enjoy reloading, no muzzle blast and no picking up brass is nice, too! It...

Still waiting on an ARCA rail so that I can use a decent bipod and get it out front farther. I think that is the only item that has not arrived yet...

Need to build a better portable table soon.

Sighting in at the range.

Well I finally did it and picked up a Ghost! A few weeks ago Airguns of Arizona had a black Friday sale and I purchased a .177 HP. I have been acquiring other bits and pieces for the last few weeks, and I think I have the basics covered now. I have been shooting every day, either at the range...

Thank you for the very informative reply! I was able to attend my first FT match in August at Mormon Lake, and Cole and many others were very generous to let me try I more rifles than I could count. Everyone I have talked to and met have been extremely helpful, answered numerous questions, and...

Will do. I imagine he will be very busy, but I would rather have permission to watch rather than show up un-announced. Thank you!

I definitely would not want to disturb anyone or get in the way. I understand silently observing... All new to me and interested in just watching to learn. Thanks!

After shooting exactly one field match and still not owning a rifle yet, I am already excited about another new game! Having the options/choices to shoot different disciplines on the same field is really interesting!!! I imagine one could even shoot through at 12 or 20 fpe, and then adjust or...

Cole that looks like a ton of fun! I enjoyed shooting your Ghost at the FT match in August... Looks like another reason to get a rifle. Still have not been down to the valley to shop, but hopefully soon. Would these matches be held in the same places as the other FT matches? With known yardage...

This may be a silly question, but is there any place for spectating at the courses? I am familiar with the Usery area, but only the firearm parts. I am only a couple hours away and thought it might be fun to come down and see some of the competition... Thanks!
