Hi everyone!!
It's time for our monthly match weekend for February. 2019. The weather looks to be cooperating with warm temps, cloudy with a 20% chance of rain. Almost perfect FT weather for February.
We will start the match a little later at 0900 sharp. Of course we are into the match weekend format full swing so if you want or need to start earlier, later or whatever, you can.
Everyone please make sure that you fill out your score card completely. Even though we are using up some old cards I would like to have the following information:
Rifle make and model. Energy level in fpe. Scope make and model, power setting used, parallax setting used, illumination on or off, pellet make and weight. There is a lot of interest, I have people inquiring often and it helps to post this information so that people can see what is being used.
*Announcement* We are tentatively scheduling the HFT Shooter's Clinic during the April match weekend, April 6th and 7th. We will cover the following topics. Rifle and scope setup for HFT. Sight picture. NPA. Trigger control. Breathing. And if time permits, bracketing (aka Mil based range estimation if interest warrants). I will hold the same clinic each day. There is no charge but I will have a handout so donations to help defer the cost of making this reference material available will be appreciated.
So, I guess that's it. I'll be at the range abut 7am Saturday and 1:30 Sunday. I hope to see you there!! Like us on Facebook> East Alabama HFT

Wow what a weekend for FT here in Alabama. It's kind of hit or miss here in the winter. We rarely have snow but we have a lot of 35 degrees and raining. But not this past weekend. It was cool on Saturday morning but warmed up to short sleeved weather by late morning and well Sunday afternoon was just splendid. It was great to see everyone out that could make it and those that weren't able to shoot this weekend, you were missed!!
Early announcement on next month's match March 2019. I will have to postpone the match one week to March 9th and 10th. I'll be out of town on business the first weekend.
My son and his buddy were able to come out and shoot with us again. They are going into the Marine Corps this summer and so I'm encouraging all the trigger time they can get. Very proud of these boys.
The scores and equipment lists are attached, please take time to view them. Yours truly was the high score for Saturday and Johnny Johnson is continuing to shoot well with a high score of 46/60 for Sunday.
Gold, silver and bronze denote how well a shooter does 1) against him or her self from month to month and how well they did against the top score of the day regardless of class. The consistency of these shooters will be recognized at our upcoming two day match (TBA) but it will be this year.
Anyway, I hope you all had a great time. If anyone has questions about starting HFT at your club, please feel free to contact me. Shoot me an email and I'll send you my phone number.
I can't upload the videos here so hop on over to our Facebook Page and check them out. East Alabama HFT
