Very nice first match of the year. The wind and the silhouettes gave everyone a tough time but it was good to only have to get up and down six times instead of ten or fifteen.! Rick

First of all, AAFTA Field Target is NOT, repeat NOT a simulation of hunting. It is a shooting discipline that has some of the same features as hunting. Second, Hunter Field Target in the UK is very different than the Hunter Division of AAFTA Field Target with different rules. The Hunter...

The big game changer( I hate that expression!) was PCP. Not their invention because they were invented hundreds of years ago but it was their manufacturer and use starting around 1990ish that really made airguns what they are today.. Rick B.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.. Those theobans always look nice.. For production guns I like the ProSport and the AA EV-2. Rick B.

I am certainly too far away to attend your matches, and I appreciate being able to see your match report, but how can you seriously call your course "balanced" with a Troyer of 34? Why make club level matches so hard. You can certainly have difficult targets within a less difficult course...

If your Ft matches are anything near as good as your other matches at the club you will have a winner. We now have 4 clubs running FT in eastern PA. Outstanding! Rick b.

I have a Challenger HFT from Airgun Revisions and it shows a lot of promise. I have some minor complains but it has a very nice trigger, it is quiet, and it shoots well so far indoors. A friend of mine got his first and he reports that his is very accurate out o 55 yds. Don't confuse it with...

Fantastic turnout! Sorry i could not make it. Rick B.

Very good video. Troyer rating is not a be all to end all BUT it is a great tool for match directors. Prior to the Troyer System I just used average target distance to gauge my course difficulty from match to match (I/we never set up the same course twice). Troyer is a way way better way to...

Thanks for the match. Always a fun time. Rich B.

Gee, and it makes your yard look so nice!

I had a Pro Sport for over 25 years and it is clearly the best spring air rifle currently available. The HWs are great and so is the TX200 but the Pro sport has much better balance for offhand shooting. It's power plant and trigger are the same as the TX 200 so it is reasonably easy to...

Sorry to hear. Running matches is not as easy as it looks. Rick B.

My own personal targets are in totes or home made containers. The club targets are on shelving in a storage container. Typically we paint, inspect and store the targets after each match. That way they are ready to be selected and used for the next match. The strings and bases are stored...
