    Results Ultimate Field Target @ Phoenix Rod and Gun Club March 2024 Match Report

    Hats off to Ben for his ideas, his fortitude, and his sacrifice to make Ultimate Field Target a reality for those of us who enjoy shooting air rifle Field Target in all its forms. Without Ben, Ultimate Field Target would still be on the back of a napkin somewhere. Thanks Ben!!

    Snowpeak PP20

    AAR on Air recently did a review of the Snowpeak PP20 and it was very favorable. I then looked on the Krale website and the pistol is out of stock. Where does one get one in in Canada? For the money, tough to beat if you aren’t a top competition shooter in my book.

    Field target sources (for targets)

    Ben Spencer and Mike Smith, I believe both members of the forum make excellent Field Target, Targets. Their targets can be shot with 12 ft-lb up to 100 Ft-lb air rifles and subsonic .22lr. Ben is the creator of Ultimate Field Target and holds matches at Phoenix Rod and Gun Club in AZ. Ben posted...

    What pistol did you shoot today

    Shot the Brocock Atomic XR, .177 as a pistol in the Airgunners of Arizona monthly Field Target Pistol/Springer match at Ben Avery Shooting Complex. 12-18 MPH winds with some higher gusts at the beginning of the match. I was the only pistol and most everyone else shot springer rifles. 26-48, it...

    Forced Kneeling

    I feel that off hand or unsupported shots are part of the skill set for FT. Standing puts everyone in the the same degree of freedom, but kneeling usually helps remove some degrees of freedom or movement if you can kneel. That is why the Kill Zones tend to be smaller for kneeling. I don’t see a...

    What are your favorite targets?

    I enjoy shooting Field Target so I made some targets that are auto reset and are exactly the range of Field Targets I shoot.

    How many of you bought airguns at a physical store vs online?

    I’ve purchased 4 air rifles in store at AOA two air rifles on line and one air pistol on line on Black Friday. It’s a bit hard to touch and feel the fit on line.

    Pistol FT scope question

    I have an Athelon Argos 4-12 on my Brocock Atomic XR Pistol I use for Hunter Class in Pistol Field Target. Very clear glass and ranges well. When not as a pistol I use it as a carbine rifle and shoot sparrows and starlings. Excellent setup and deadly accurate out to 50 yds.

    which pistol for hunter field target?

    I have the Brocock Atomic XR with an Athelon Argos scope. Super accurate with JSB 10.3s or the QYS 9.56 pellets. As a pistol or carbine a rock solid air rifle. Great for gkids and smaller people as a carbine with adjustable stock. A great little carbine for pest control or targets. We...
