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...
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...

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.
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...
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...
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...
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...
