With the threads speaking of Extreme or Magnum Pistol running at 20 fpe & 30 fpe respectfully & 55 to 100 yard distances. They are BOTH being done as there own class / venues.

So how about Nurturing the use of Pistols during a regular 10-55 yard RIFLE Spec Field target match ?

Being the Rifle "FREESTYLE" rifle class had hit a brick wall .... The Rifle Open class is nearly dead around here, Lets take the idea of doing FT a different way and PLAY with a Pistol is lets say more an OPEN class sort of format.
I'm going to put out a news letter to the SVFTC members that spell out what class I'm going to promote here locally.

For now we'll call it OPEN PISTOL
Same size AAFTA pistol spec ... <25" oal / 3" Fore end ahead of trigger guard / 15" total barrel * Tho for now an LDC can be utilized for noise & comfort of other shooters.
Eye cup allowed, No shooting jacket or gloves allowed. No other attached miens of pistol support ( >20 fpe limit ) as we're still shooting >20 fpe targets !

Can sit any way you want be it Ground, Bag or low bucket / seat ( No backrest )
Use of a unattached Bi-pod allowed.
Any optic magnification, Clicking allowed.

THIS TO BE ALLOWED in 10-55 yard Rifle Spec & troyer matches.

Want a REAL Challenge 😲 having already done it 3 times in the last year ... It is HARD it is FUN and just mixes it up as too what amount of effort & skills practice each shooter can or wishes to deal with.

> equals more then…

< is what Scott meant to use..

Airgun field target is going down the same route as did archery field target.

Establish new restrictions and classes to insure a win regardless of ability.

Although I do not shoot field target anymore, I think the sport should go back to it’s routes.

Springer rifle, pellets, scope.

No ranging. No clicking. No sticks. No bucket…

When Fred Bear envisioned archery field target he did not expect, release, stabilizers, peeps, etc.

I am sure the folks who developed airgun field target in England had no clue where the sport has evolved to, today.Ā
