Extreme FT bucket and sticks

NCed? Is that some sort of secret code?

Ron, true statement. This was recently clarified in an email vote from everyone that has shot in any of the EFT events (pay to play). Both rules were voted in with only two “no” on #2. See below modifications to the rules link you posted above. 

Match Director e-Mail:
I think we all agree that simple and straightforward rules are a good thing. With that in mind, I feel it necessary to ask for a vote on two significant items that should keep us from needing to add all kinds of future rules.



After much deliberation, these are the two additions to the current rules that I'd like a vote on.

The first, I suggest adding at the beginning of the current rules. (current rules being what you all received a copy of at last month's match).



#1. ANY deviation from what is explicitly written within these rules will result in immediate disqualification. The Determination will be made by the match director-in the spirit of a fair competition .



The second is simply clarification of the type of seating and allowed shooting position.



#2 Any type and height of seat allowed (as long as no back support) but the majority of the bottom/soles of feet/shoes must be in contact with the ground for all non-kneeling and non-standing shots.



For those that aren't aware, Robert Buchanan (one of the owners of Airguns of Arizona) created this extreme field target venue. Prior to PRGC hosting monthly matches, it was only held once a year as part of the Extreme Benchrest event. This is part of what he recently had to say about Extreme Field Target, on AGN.



"I came up with the idea for American Field Target ( now Extreme Field Target ) so that the average guy or gal could enjoy competition with their back yard or hunting rig.The rules have been written with that spirit of fellowship, fun, and of course heated competition. It has been an overwhelming success. We did not want to recreate standard sit on your butt ft with gadgets and gimmicks. I am not personally in favor nor do I think they are needed. The rules are to favor the best shooter in his or her rawest form. The bucket and sticks are because I am old  as are a lot of the shooters that attended the matches. Also hunters don’t typically carry a bag to sit on, a harness to shoot in, or a belt attached benchrest. They do sit on rocks and carry sticks in their packs. They do have range finders. They do have lighter scopes and guns. They don’t have all day to get comfortable to take a shot. Please let’s not recreate what we already have with other competitions. It’s ok to miss every now and then."



I think the addition of these two rules will help us keep with the intent of this awesome fun competition. 



Please respond (by email) with your votes.



Please keep it simple to make it easier to tally, for example:

#1 yes or no

#2 yes or no



Yes meaning you DO WANT to see that added to the current rules.

No meaning that you DO NOT WANT to see that added to the current rules. 



Thanks for taking the time to vote.
