It's great to see FT alive and well in S. California. The CASA club is having a hard time finding a new good place to shoot that is affordable and works for a good number of members trying to attend. Your matches, LD are filling in a much needed gap. Thanks from all us FT guys! Wayne

Here is a little video we shot at the Oregon St Championships with Cameron Kerndt explaining the difference between the Gen 1 and Gen 2

Hi Mark, The AAFTA match course planner turns red when the total course reaches 36T, but 36T is what they want in order to count the competitors score as 100 GP points. If the course is 35.5T then the top competitor in each class will get a 98 or 99 instead of 100 GP points, so don't worry...

You sure were Paul, I'll get that fixed. Sorry for the mistake.

Are you comparing Piston guns against PCPs? If so, how should that be computed in the data of accuracy and competitiveness?

Jim, I brought that point up in the match report. I totally agree, addressing 3 targets instead of two and taking one shot on each target instead of two, really changes the difficulty of scoring on the lane. And do that on a 36T kill zone sizes on a switching wind, albeit a modest wind, made...

Match Report - 2025 Oregon State Championships & AAFTA Grand Prix July 18, 19 & 20th We had 26 competitors travel from Nevada, Washington, Northern and Southern California, and here in Oregon. Thanks to all who took the time and spent the money to attend our competition. Thanks also to my...

I am so glad you could make it Larry, and it was great that you got Doctor Jim to come with you. He told me he is loving being your new "FT student". You must be doing a great job since he won the "High Score New Shooter" award. Yes, the 36T course left no room for movement on follow through...

Weather report says Clear and HOT but low humidity for the match. Highs from 94 on Friday down to 89 on Sunday, lows at night in the low 60s, humidity during the day of 30-35%, and winds 6-13mph in the afternoons. We will have shade over the shooting stations again this year. more detailed...

How about we do a "team" challenge too. Pick 3-4 competitors from your club and we'll use the top three scores for the team total. I'll have some prizes for the winning team. Any classes will work for the team.

Sounds like we might need to add some rules to the low price point equipment class. Maybe no competitors with over 2 or maybe 3 years of experience allowed? What else would make it work to make it easier to enter the game and keep them coming back?

Over the years of running a club and GP matches, we have seen a lot of folks that don't come back after they see what it's gonna take to play the game with any chance of even doing OK, let alone getting to the winners circle. When they understand that it takes at least $1,500 to get set up with...

Could be Mike, and maybe some guys might try it for the challenge and to see if they can "whoop" the more expensive guns with their low priced rig?

Ok, Let's assume that it is an arms race and that is a problem standing in front of expanding the Filed Target Game. What if there was a new class, (AAFTA approved or not), that was "Free Style" with any air rifle under 20fpe and MSRP of total equipment under $1,000. And to support the vendors...

We'll have 1st to 3rd in "Combined Piston" like in the past.

Be Ready Be Steady!!! This 36T course is going to be a challenge. Especially if the wind blow as it normally does around here. One shot per target, 3 targets per lane, and 17 lanes, with mostly 38T kill zones, (1/2 @ 19-22, and 1" @ 34-44), in 3-8mph winds that are doing different things...

Yes, LD still is innovating and improving the USFT he designed... and so is Tim in some different ways. Tim is more into the regulated guns now and LD still believes more in the "Simple Simon" tube design that he hand built the first 7 of, and then got them in the hands of some of the top...

LD has come up with a new tune that cures the "farts". It involves using a shorter and stiffer hammer spring that allows for "free floating" the last 1/8" of the hammer swing. Now you get a quick "pop" and no double bouncing of the hammer on the firing valve pin. Depending on the stiffness of...

We finally got this video up showing day two of the Extreme Field Target Challenge with the competitors battling for the winners circle in crazy winds and rain. Enjoy!
