Hey guys, a group of airgunners will be holding an informal FT match at the Armscor Range this coming saturday. FT stands Field Target, an airgun competition that was started in England. Here is more information on it: www.aafta.org/html/education/education_ft_overview.htmlPlease be there early to get oriented, the guys will be there at 8am to get set up, count on the match to begin around 10 or so. This will be an informal match, but the range fees will be discounted, I believe it will be P100 only. A match usually consists of 40 - 60 shots. It is open to everyone with an airgun. Just as a backgrounder, airgunners like ACCURACY and precision shooting. It is very challenging and is a pretty exciting experience. I have no doubts you guys will have fun there, even just watching. Some shots will be taken at 50 yards, at a 1 inch target, OFFHAND.

Posting this from Pinoy GunsPics and write-up courtesy of Rico! Guys, I posted some pics of the FT try-out shoot in the FT Pics Album. Sorry I could have taken more pics, pero mahirap gampanan lahat ng papel... Anyway, it was another nice day of shooting. I was particularly happy that the targets are working fine...flopping over when you hit the 1-in.kill zone, and staying up when you miss. Ang galing! We also had some friends from Pinoyguns.com who came over to take a look see at what FT is, and they sure will be back! Nice meeting you Sir Bazil (and friend)... I tried it out myself and man I thought those 1-in. kill zones were big and easy to hit! But when the targets are out to 35 and 55yds., the name of the game is PRECISION! But it's a great feeling when the target flips over! Just like the real thing! (joke) Next week ulit! By then we will have Tikling, pato, and Balud Targets! Abangan ang susunod na kabanata. Corix :-D

Ang galing naman ng pics nyo, enjoy yan para simulated ang hunting without reducing the number of wildlife. This is a better alternative.
