Not everyone does HFT, but our Special guest Roger Lait explains, enthuses and entertains us about this form of airgun competition. Also featuring the Air arms S400 .
Another fantastic "Hot Air" video. Roger Lait certainly blended in well with "the Boys". The banter combined with explanations really made this another entertaining video
Said hello to Roger this morning at Cambridge HFT and told him that this video was the reason why I had joined the club and got into air rifles. Brilliant. What a great guy. His enthusiasm is infectious lol
Brilliant episode gents, really informative and enjoyable. And thanks for my MK4 Lloyd, recieved it yesterday and am chuffed to bits with it 👍 atb Kane
Fantastic vid lads ... so interesting and informative, this particular episode was AWESOME , could have watched a 5 hour extended version with ease , so much better ( by a country mile) then the s**t served up by auntie beeb and the rest of the crap channels we seem to have a 1000 of ... keep up.the excellent work ... cant wait for part 2 ...
Thank you so much Mark. I think we still have a long way to go to be honest but slowly but I think we are going in the right direction . Things will get a lot better when we get the range sorted out which should be in early next year :)
Roger is a very interesting bloke and a top one at that. I've just started to get into hft and the videos I've seen about him talking about hft are brilliant. Love the man's enthusiasm 👍👍
Hi Guys,that was superb,i have always fancied a go at HFT but never got any further than that, Roger makes a very good case to 'have a go', just been on the HFT Masters website,now i am thinking why i have not heard of this before,can't wait for part 2
GeeTee Nice, I'm in south Yorkshire. HFT doesn't do too bad up here, Midlands seem to have a lot of dedicated HFT clubs, in our region it's mainly FT clubs that also do HFT. I'm a member of Emley Moor FTC, it's a club in the NEFTA organisation, near netherton Wakefield. Have a Google of NEFTA (North East field target Association) for local clubs. We have regional comps that are open to visitors, infact there's a HFT comp at Redfearns FTC (near Barnsley) this Sunday.
Thanks for the info,actually i have been trying to get into Emley club for some time,i live in Huddersfield so is local to me, every time i check,the website tells me there are no vacancies,i will look at the Redfearns site, from what you said in the video,HFT is the next stage in my development of the Shooting sport, Kind Regards Graeme
GeeTee Hi Graham, I'm Mark just call me lanky. We keep our numbers to a manageable number, so usually needs someone to leave before someone can join. Have you visited Emley before?
Hi Lloyd and Tony, Just about to post this question on your last show and you guys uploaded this! Great timing and great video for a newbie to HFT like me. If you have the time I was hoping to ask for your opinion on the FX smooth twist and smooth twist X barrels over something like the Walther Lothar barrels Daystate uses. I was looking for a rifle I could use for a bit of pest control but mainly to shoot at my local HFT club. I was originally set on the Huntsman Regal until Daystate brought out the Regal HR, which although messing with the looks of the Huntsman slightly, would probably be the sensible way to go. However this pushes the Huntsman up into the Streamline price bracket. I contacted ASI and have been told by them that the Streamline now comes with the X barrel and that a single shot adapter will soon be available from FX. So although the regulated Regal still beats the Streamline on looks which barrel will give the most stable flight for the .177 Diablo at 45-50 yards? Love the show! Check at least twice a day to see if you have uploaded a new episode! Keep going please! All the best Neil
this is phenomenal , and .... I really fancy a go.... i could not manage the usual ft / hft as i cannot bend kneel etc due to disability. walking is extremely difficult but with a stick can be done. even prone cant be achieved at times
Tony as you’re the man in the know, can you say if AirArms will be bringing regulators to the TDR510? I’m hanging off getting one because of your earlier mention in a vid
No i do shoot 3 position ft tho and am after a new rifle soon cannot make my mind up wether to get a ev2 or just get a stock for my lsd custom hw80k and stay at the spring piston class because ft pcp class is out of hand lolthe reason i want a new stock is because im a lefty and my 80 has a stock erm well stock on it i do like the ev2 but id have to sell my tx and my 99s and a huge part of my brains like erm no way but lets face ot the air arms ev2 is stunning
Ahh, in nz we don't call it Lego...CHOKO....every kid will digest and every a+e nurse had one a day.. it...used to be 2 cents here, yes damn thing deserves its own name from knees or a skate...
Has anyone ever tried air gun INSTINCTIVE. No sights, lift the gun and shoot. Like field archery. Im doing it, and getting bloody good, (the force lol). But seriously this could be a new discipline. Great fun 30yrds. Brain muscle memory magic!!. I think with springers is best, but try everything. Let me know. Tell Blackpool. Learn the way from field archery channels.
weweko kowe some airlines are fine with it , you must empty the gun of air of course and you must take the gun through its own security . It’s dead easy and worth doing BUT check with the airline first , Ryanair don’t like Guns sadly 😔
Hi Chris, the numbers suggest that a lot of people are interested in HFT, and anyway we should cover aspects of our sport from target shooting, airsoft and hunting
Hi Chris. I think quite a few people are interested in HFT , the feedback from this video has been really positive. Keep watching though , we will be covering lots of stuff apart from HFT :)
Brilliant episode , very informative and interesting with great humour , loved it !
I like the shop.
I like customers coming in and the phone going.
I like the guns in the racks.
Another fantastic "Hot Air" video. Roger Lait certainly blended in well with "the Boys". The banter combined with explanations really made this another entertaining video
Thanks Ian. We really enjoyed making it .

Didn't recognize Roger without a cap on until he started talking, lovely.
Lots of people have said that .. I always have a cap on :)
Another excellent video, top job lads
Im a hunter , Shootguns and airguns, But I still found this very interesting. Thanks again guys.
Thanks Mark. Good that we can appreciate other forms of our great sport :)
Roger is a very interesting bloke and a top one at that.

The best how to hft vid that I have seen. Great presenting.
One word comment Guys... BRILLIANT!
Blushing ! Thanks Rob.
Great video, Roger is a nice bloke!.
As usual an excellent informative video with a good dose of humour

Fantastic video!! Hft is the best sport.
I don't wobble when shooting hft it's the targets moving in the wind
I have that issue too
Brill guys I have been iterated in hft for a long time but have no experience
. Good know I can join in as a complete novice at a reasonable price...
Great video guys, loved the video very much, go HFT!
this is phenomenal , and .... I really fancy a go.... i could not manage the usual ft / hft as i cannot bend kneel etc due to disability. walking is extremely difficult but with a stick can be done. even prone cant be achieved at times
Love that !
Great vid guys, nice to see Rog there with you too ;)
Why does this remind me of the Mad hatters tea party
Also you can use a spring air rifle not just a pcp.
Yep , Springer rifles are used lots in HFT ., I however cant shoot one for toffee
Roger Lait loves Target shooting no me either but some people seem to like them.
Nice video.
I quite like the sound of that. I used to play league pool and have seen people cheat and win but couldn't prove it. It drives me mad.
Another great video but please isolate the mic from the table, every video you can hear the table being hit.
This should be the last video with the old microphone and camera setup so it shouldn't happen again Dave :)
No mention of a spring class
oh! by the way love the show guys!!!!!!!!
How do you Lube pellets with out coursing Dieseling!
bugger i was sat here waiting for the next bit hahahahaaa
You and me too, I was expecting a HW77 to be pulled out of the bag with a custom stock from Sheffield or something.
🙏
So where is the old gun you were going to show in the last seconds of this video, wanna see it too.
If your parallax wheel is not marked for yardage can you adjust the parallax to get a clear sight picture ?
Tony as you’re the man in the know, can you say if AirArms will be bringing regulators to the TDR510? I’m hanging off getting one because of your earlier mention in a vid
Air arms haven't said , but I think it's highly likely you will see something in the new year :)
No i do shoot 3 position ft tho and am after a new rifle soon cannot make my mind up wether to get a ev2 or just get a stock for my lsd custom hw80k and stay at the spring piston class because ft pcp class is out of hand lolthe reason i want a new stock is because im a lefty and my 80 has a stock erm well stock on it i do like the ev2 but id have to sell my tx and my 99s and a huge part of my brains like erm no way but lets face ot the air arms ev2 is stunning
Tony's a Character 👍
Nice knees there Tony, must be an ex Boy Scout by the way your sitting. Loyd on the other hand looks more famous five. Keep up the good reviews lads.
my knees are my main asset and TBH, i didnt expect to come from behind a desk
As someone who is just about to buy their first ever rifle is HFT only pcp or are springers allowed to enter.
You can use either, but you will be more competitive with a PCP.
It's about the dog. I love Westies!
What happened to sterling air rifles will they ever be built by another manufacturer?
Peter Goodman oh no has that all come to nothing?
Hi, is the whole sterling venture dead? I liked some of the ideas, it looked like they were going into production in small numbers at least
h2489 sterling is no more the company I think has went bust. Some of the guns did look good
Peter Goodman how disappointing. You would have thought they would at least have the capital to do an initial run before going bust!
Ahh, in nz we don't call it Lego...CHOKO....every kid will digest and every a+e nurse had one a day.. it...used to be 2 cents here, yes damn thing deserves its own name from knees or a skate...
Is there a new HFT website as the one given at the end doesn’t work ?
dear all, thanks for this and all previous precious vids! but did I miss what gun RLait brought over here ? His goldstar done over ?
Hendrick Otto Nope , I am shooting a RAW TM1000 now .... it’s rather good as it goes .
yaaaaaaaaaaaaawn
You not into HFT or is it Hot Air in general you aren't keen on Daivd?
could be just manners he's not keen on.
Come and have a go at HFT , bet you like it 😀😀

Roger how do you travel, what are the rules flying/driving with an air rifle?
weweko kowe some airlines are fine with it , you must empty the gun of air of course and you must take the gun through its own security . It’s dead easy and worth doing BUT check with the airline first , Ryanair don’t like Guns sadly 😔
Did you drive then? Germany has that silly 7,5 F rule on the way so have you some international gun passport or what, thanks for the input
Did this not turn out to be popular, then? Website is gone... ??
You could see Lloyd look at him turning his cap back to front and thinking WTF is he on.
Rogers just high on life :)
Diana rws 460 mangnam 177 caliber good or not good
There are better guns on the market for less money. Look at the Weihrauch Hw97K and the Air arms Tx200
HFT anywhere near Wirral Merseyside
Try here : tawdft.co.uk/
bloomin android tablets, i can't type for sh@t
