an FT Fun shoot by WAGS
@ Davao Flower Mart grounds, Bo. Pampanga, Davao City
Philippines
This FT challenge was originally scheduled last September 2012 but due to busy schedules it was postponed. Now before the long drought for our trigger fingers we had a pre-gun ban fun shoot and what better activity to do it is an FT Challenge.
Attendance was a handful of hard core shooting friends who are also hunting afficionados. FT is in its infancy here and this is the 3rd time we played it the other 2 were also fun shoots as well. We are just trying to introduce FT and how it is played.
GAME RESULTS:
Champion - Jonathan Josol (snyper) - Pepe's PCP/DBB .22/Super Zero
1st Runner-up - Jimmy Lao (kingjim) - JBC regulated/Lothar .22/JSB.
2nd runner-up - Arjun Ravelo - Caiman MK2/Lothar .177/H&N
There was a total of 26 shots in the game as we have limited space and knock-over targets but we enforced shooting positions for off-hand, kneeling and prone so that player will have a feel of what an FT game really is all about. Though we only have a couple of lanes as shooting positions everyone had a blast and they can all say it was a fun challenge. We hope to find a venue that will really make the shooter walk to the next shooting position just to make it more challenging.
The good thing about our venue though is that we have a covered shooting lane so even with the slight drizzle we continued to have fun!
