The match started out cloudy with a brief period of drizzle; the sun broke through mid-match and brought highly variable winds, gusting up to around 8 mph, which were worse towards the end of the course on lanes 10-12. Depending on their starting lane some shooters escaped this, while others had...

The Izaak Walton League in Damascus Maryland has a dedicated out door Air Gun range, with markers and boards for paper targets set out at 10 yard intervals from 10-55 yards. Fire arms are not allowed on this range, so it's quiet. The range also has sets of spinners at 15, 25, 35, 45 and 55...

Great shooting. Chalk is a lot of fun. There's another way to play this game: see how many hits you can get on each piece of chalk. Start shooting act the top and nibble your way down. Misses count as a negative value. You might be surprised how many times you can take a chunk out of a chalk bar.

I like the decimal scoring, both as a tie breaker, but also because it helps shooters track how well they are doing on forced positions. We will start doing this at DIFTA. Despite forgetting my harness and bum bag I had a great time and enjoyed the match.

I'm planning on joining you

10 shooters enjoyed our midsummer match at DIFTA. Temperatures started in the high 60s and climbed to the high 70s by the match end. It was a glorious day to be shooting outside with barely any wind. The only environmental challenges were large swarms of bugs, the density of which noticeably...

Five shooters celebrated our Independence Day weekend match at DIFTA. Temperatures started in the mid 70s and climbed to the mid 80s by the match end with high but not overly oppressive humidity. The day was calm with essentially no wind; intermittent sunshine; and a full tree canopy that made...

Sadly, After Paolo stepped down as MD we have not had any cookouts at DIFTA for the past few years. I agree that these were very enjoyable post match activities that added a lot to the enjoyment of the match, and I miss this. One note is the shooters from 'out of town' with a few hours drive...

I do not support this. Why do new shooters expect to score well on a course? Part of FT is learning to range find accurately, and deal with wind. If as a beginner you are knocking down 40-50% of FT targets in WFTF (assuming you have practiced on paper) you are doing really well and will improve...

I wonder how much Daystate spends on product development versus advertising. Don't get me wrong, I own three Daystate rifles, including an AlphaWolf and these are great guns. But ... Daystate has a long history of releasing rifles with no technical advances; instead they pump out products and...

Six shooters ignored the weather forecast and were blessed with dry shooting conditions for most of the match. Temps were low 70s at the start falling to high 60s. Wind was essentially absent. The main challenge was poor lighting due to cloudy conditions and a full tree canopy which made small...
