Petition to Allow Laser Range Finders in Field Target Competitions

[Regal_US]

Hi everyone,

We’ve just launched a petition asking the WFTF to consider allowing the use of Laser Range Finders in Field Target competitions. This change could make the sport more accessible, inclusive, and aligned with modern shooting practices.

If you believe in making Field Target more open to newcomers, HFT shooters, and those with visual or technical challenges, please take a moment to read and sign the petition

Your support can help bring positive change to our sport. Thank you!

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 with practice. Many of us are shooting against ourselves, and training to improve our scores, instead of being the top scoring shooter in a match.

Haven't there been numerous threads on how to improve the popularity of the game? Aren't there just as many opinions on how to do that?
