You guys really hit the ball out of the park with this one, some GREAT footage here, as David said this is going to be perfect for promoting our sport. atb andy.
I used to shoot FT in the late 80s with markyate gun club, and we would take the whellam bus to shoots all over UK Best memorie: shoot off with Richard North for a position in the welsh open we both shot and both hit our targets, Richard then said “ let’s stand” so we both shot at the knockdowns, and I won !!!!
I hope someday I can be there in FT Worlds... But here in Brazil everything is so difficult to get and so expensive. Maybe in 2018 I can go to the World`s. Excellent video guys!
I have just bought my first PcP rifle a walther RM8 with a rotary pellet mag, are they allowed in FT ? has I noticed in the video dispite some really weird looking star wars gun designs that they were loading single pellets into the breach ?? e
I used to do FT when it first started up, using firstly a Weihrauch HW77 and then an Air Arms Shamal in those days we used scopes 9x mag maximum . However now it seems to be a case of the more money you spend on a gun the more chance you have of doing well.This is one of the reasons HFT was started but unfortunately its going the same way - you can see that by looking at the World Championship results - top shooters all mostly using Steyr or Walther and expensive scopes like Leupold amd Zeiss
Even allow shooting jacket., gloves. It's like 10m match already. Would anyone actually wear a shooting jacket and those huge gloves on a field hunt? Isn't field target supposed to be like hunting scenarios? This is ridiculous.
I personally think that it should be a spot in 50 meters, only if you used eye sights only, and the killing zone was the size of an apple, that would be fair and challenging, don't you agree? Me personall, I am capable of a shot like that, so it really can be done, and I don't even go to tournaments like these.
Field target is basicly. Shooting overly capable and expensive air rifles 5.5mm at 50 meters maximum, witch is not hard to hit 4 cm kill zone. I can do that in CZ Slavia 631 all day. All u need is AO scope to to estimate range then adjust your drop witch you can easily memorize up to 50 meters.or make a range card like i have.You can also make range card for windage. after that its easy sailing. with 16 jules at 50 meters is gonna be 1 to 2 mildots max on an air rifle zeroed to 25-30M ..Its not hard i do it all the time.Its mostly about food and fun.Get a HW97 and your good to go for a start at a springer discipline.Or buy hatsan at44 10 tuned to 16 jules for PCP entry. Best rifle for 400€
+Gixxer983 , absolutely agree with what you say. They seem to be a load of fan boy yuppies now with too much money and a love of bling, a bit like many 'hobbies' nowadays.
@@katrinacrown4148 By now I think they've won loads of championship🤣🤣🤣🤣. Whether it's FT, HFT, benchrest or whatever, I love reading comments like these, if it's that easy ect just go out and do it, win some silverware/titles and win money/prizes....... strangely that never happens 😁.
What a load of poncing about to shoot something at 55 yards max. I just can't see how anyone can miss at that range, unless there's a storm blowing or earthquake raging, strewth.
Air guns have different accuracy levels when compared to real guns. Especially sprinters (pcp is more accurate) small game hunting is done at 30- 80 yards
As opposed to spring. Pneumatic air rifles carry air under pressure before shooting, springers store energy in a spring and expend it in something like a bellows.
I will never consider a competition with sub 12fpe a premier competition. Get all the sophistication you want. All it is, is putting a blower on your kids tricycle. Your adults, right? Your only one step away from glorifying a straw and spit ball competition, when Mommy says that is all you can have. You know who your Mommy is. She took your guns away, and you are showing how cool that is. Sorry. You can't defend yourselves, and that is not right.
Thanks David. We aim to capture the whole mood of the sport with these shows. The camaraderie and social aspect of the sport is great!

Glad you liked it! Hopefully you are right Donovan.
Glad you enjoyed it...stay tuned for more.

i'd be happy to do something like this on a rookie level :)
Yes, i think the Euro's are in the week long special
Excellent video - this is going to be a great aid in marketing Field Target shooting! Thanks!!
Is it possible to get this on DVD? It would be great to show as firearms safety courses and outdoor shows to raise interest in FT.
I hope someday I can be there in FT Worlds... But here in Brazil everything is so difficult to get and so expensive. Maybe in 2018 I can go to the World`s.
Excellent video guys!
Yes, the springers have their own section.
Your English is fine!...Thank you for watching
good guide. i see someone there with a springer. So those are also allowed? ta
great job on this guys!
NIce!! This is a well made video that will hopefully help us to recruit new shooters.
That video is pure awesome! I really wish we had some airgun groups here in Hawaii.
so when is next champion ship in UK, i'd like to go... blesses Arek ta
3:50 Alan Rickman isn't dead - he's just into airgun field targetting now...
When I say I love you know that it is in a manly way. Thanks
P.S. what was on Tool's pellet pouch? Looks like something made it through the editors.

what is HFT?
you make sooooo coool videos....make more ;))
They sure are.

All that, but oddly no one is using a sling to stabilize.
Lets get him over to the next one and see...
I perfere the "no limit competitions" :D More fun to shoot at 70-80 yrds :D

45mm kill zones?! That's a lot larger than the 25mm targets I'm used to at h.f.t
brilliant :D
mag used to range 32 to 80 mag most around 50
We know what you mean Ryan ;)
Gooooo Canada! :)

how many world championships have you two geniuses won

By now I think they've won loads of championship🤣🤣🤣🤣.

@@katrinacrown4148 😂😂😂 Armchair FT champions!
Well done you...... 🙄
Não vi a bandeira do Brasil !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Air guns have different accuracy levels when compared to real guns. Especially sprinters (pcp is more accurate) small game hunting is done at 30- 80 yards
And they're aiming at a kill zone that's 12-55 millimeters!!!! That's it!
Give it a go...... You'll be surprised :-)
”pneumatic air rifles” - as opposed to... hydraulic *air* rifles?
As opposed to spring. Pneumatic air rifles carry air under pressure before shooting, springers store energy in a spring and expend it in something like a bellows.
to much technology for my stile of shooting. I like to see skilled shooter without high magnification scopes and ugly wests.
LOL i bet they shoot a lot better than you, even if you use their rifles. Wearing a Superman suit does not make you Superman.
We run championships all year, check out thebfta dot net or shooting-the-breeze
to unpractical for me
