    1st FT Match

    Force position is for all. Unless you have a medical condition and made prior arrangements with the Match Director. If you can't kneel, you'll have to shoot the kneeling lane standing (off hand). You don't need to be an AAFTA member (the clubs are AAFTA members ...not the individual shooter)...

    self chrono check during the match?

    Yeah I haven't swap out a spring in my TX 200 during a match yet. But I have practice doing it at home and I'm averaging 8-10 minutes. I might just simulate that on my next FT match. I'm not trying to add to the rule books (I feel the rule books are thick enough already). Logically, doesn't it...

    self chrono check during the match?

    Yeah I read the no energy-level adjustment during the match. But does it apply to a gun failure like a spring failure. During the Arizona Grand Prix. I started missing shots after the first lane. The official chrono station was about 8 lanes away? When I got there to chrono...I was around 5 FPE...

    self chrono check during the match?

    I was reading the WFTF and AAFTA rules regarding chronograph use. It states that you need to chrono your rifle during training/sight-in day and daily chrono during the match. What happens if you suspect a gun failure during the match and you want to chrono your rifle but you are nowhere near...

    Bushnell Match Pro 6-24x50mm FFP ➠ $300 at ScopeList.com

    I think Amazon has the same scope for $375.77 website is legit and free return... That $300 price I assume does not include shipping cost and free return. https://www.amazon.com/Bushnell-Match-PRO-6-24X50-RIFLESCOPE/dp/B09DQ74CW7?th=1 Very tempting. Too bad it wasn't at a higher mag like 32...

    Field Target Time in Concord Ca- May 19th, 2024 Results

    Kenny I'm so sorry that there's no FT or silhouette closer to you. Years ago Lonnie used to have a traveling FT club in the Bay Area that shoot an entire FT match at different private farm/land? (I think I shot at 3 different sites, it has since died out. Can't remember the reasons why). I can...

    Field Target Time in Concord Ca- May 19th, 2024 Results

    Thank you for putting the match together. I'm still scratching my head...trying to figure out what I did wrong. It's gotta be the gun or the scope or the pellet. Or maybe the wind. (or the blue and yellow paint you slapped on there...Sooo many variables...sooo little time). Gotta figure all...

    HW/Weihrauch Spring piston guns, shooting tehcniques

    After shooting springers for almost 25 years. Mostly in FT competition. It's been a frustrating experience peppered by short periods of zen like oneness with my rifle. Here's my limited insight into the puzzling world of springers. 1. trigger control, needs to be smooth, and almost surgical...

    N/A Ft break barrel rifle

    FT is very different from NRA silhouette. (I think FT is more fun...then again, I'm biased) Here's a good YT video explaining what FT (in the USA) is. Terry in the video is shooting hunter FT division PCP class. If you like to read and want more detail. Here's the AAFTA site...

    New Gun Day

    OMG Your wife lets you cuddle that box in bed? Mine would scream and yell at me ...get rid of that dirty cardboard box. Put it in the garage or the garbage can. P.S. you are a lucky man...for whatever is in the box. Oh yeah and a very understanding spouse (make sure you take her out to...

    sun shade question?

    Oh they work. I shoot field target and sometimes those devious match directors intentionally place targets where the sun's glare just wash out the target and your cross hair. You look thru your scope and it's just one big blast of white light. Learned my lesson after the first few matches. Now...

    LET THEM FIGHT ... English vs German

    Sorry to hijack this thread I just want a made in America springer that can compete with HW and AA in quality and accuracy. Heck I'll even settle for a custom one off...Wishcomb type springer. Yeah I know...I'm in fantasy land. (Boss...da plane da plane )

    Anyone else spent way too much money on this hobby?

    Agree with post #28. The costs and hassles of traveling to competitions sucks! and they add up quick. (airline ticket, lodging, rental cars, food, and trinkets to appease the wife). Shout out to those gun ranges that allow camping onsite or parking/dry camping in your car onsite. Every little...

    Practice, Training and attending matches

    For American FT, it's two shots per target. Usually most clubs use two targets per lane. So I think Scotton was trying to practice putting extra pressure on himself to hit that last shot. For WFTF it's one shot per target. (unless you are shooting USA WFTF...it could be one or two shots per...

    Detecting Scammers in the Classifieds

    Thank you Mark for your generous offer. Can you offer any insights into websites? For example I got eBay selling a recoil free riser for $69 385624871725 Then I got this website offering ...it looks like the exact same product for 1/2 the price? (I assume .ru ...means a Russian site?)...

    HW 50 Accuracy improvement by accident

    I assume the OP will handle the barrel a lot cos it's a break barrel. How's the O-ring going to precisely stay in place without the CF shroud? To counter act the harmonics don't the O-rings need to be in a precise area of the barrel? (I assume there's more than one O-ring) Glue the O-rings...

    N/A 20fpe springer, or just under, from the factory for FT

    You are near Wayne and Randy in Ashland. Plenty of field target knowledge and wisdom there. Plus they got an airgun store there (everything you'll need to put together a competitive FT rig) Their advice is free...pellets, you'll need to pay by the tin. LOL I know Wayne post on here. I know...

    Best $200 scope for a magnum springer

    I would invest in a recoil free scope mount. https://www.amazon.com/MIZUGIWA-Recoil-Profile-Picatinny-Compensation/dp/B081HZJHGK That should leave you with $180 to spend on almost any scope on the market within that price range. At this price point, look at Bushnell monstrum Simmons Vortex Vector

    From which point do you range your targets?

    I shoot in Field Target competition. Is accurate ranging important? Hell yeah. Because in US field target, these devious match directors sometime use teeny tiny 3/8" kill zone at 10 to 13 yards to challenge the shooters. As post #2 stated there are rules about how close you can get to the line...
