    Marginal gains and barrel/projectile choice

    Superior hold to maintain those groupings across multiple rifles. Outstanding!

    Temecula Field Target Report 2025 08 03

    Temecula ducked the 94° F high with a morning shoot, timers enforced to beat the heat... some of which is temperature related... Mostly knock down targets with some spinners and reset targets made for a fun shoot in wine country followed by a BBQ with Vince's fabulous linguica sausage. Good...

    Huben PCP Progression - What was yours?

    My .35 R5M Matador makes 40 accurate shots @ 59 FPE, an absolute beast. Sub 12 fpe would be amazing.

    New to HFT and looking for advice on Pellets

    Great way to find out if HFT is for you, using gear you already have. I started with .22 and had a lot of fun, but as you increase your scores the speed and sized disadvantage will creep in. Using .22 your hold overs will be very similar to 12FPE WFTF...

    Element Immersive?

    With the splatter recommendation for 75-100 yards hole visibility. In the field, nothing I have seen is even close for scouting and target acquisition, just skip the binoculars. Especially good on bullpup configurations.

    Temecula, CA Field Target Report 2025 07 06

    Full sunny day in wine county with switching light breezes. Ten lanes with twenty-five targets made for a great time with twelve friends shooting effigies of defenseless woodland creatures. BBQ followed with much smack talk and scorched meat.

    Field Target is an arms race.

    In a match Barrels can drift, regs can chill, scopes can temp shift. 50 shot group will show it, 3 or 5 shot groupings will not. FT does not allow unlimited sighters...

    Light direction and ranging accuracy

    Fit and feel is very specific for everyone, especially for eyes and face. I like the cup stiff and welded against my brow, makes full sight picture in an instant. It leaks light more than the Bisley's soft eye cup. I use Shooter's Barn "Eye Enhancer" excellent 3d print and slightly flexible...

    Light direction and ranging accuracy

    Stiff eyecup with integral side blinder and broad brim beach hat. Anything to reduce direct sunlight on my eyes.

    Petition to Allow Laser Range Finders in Field Target Competitions

    There are a lot of good reasons to allow range finders in a separate class. Posting ranges skunks those who want the additional traditional challenge. WFTF coordinates over many countries which restricts change. The challenge for change/inclusion will be more of a cultural challenge against...

    Resources Mac1 USFT shooting techniques???

    Cole is on it, the USFT is inherently and intentionally asymetrical to "fill into" your voids allowing the shooter to make a natural hold with the least amount of tension. Essentially at rest. Loosing up all the adjustments and finding the positions that are most natural to you and your shot...
