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 thenā¦
< 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 itās routes.
Springer rifle, pellets, scope.
No ranging. No clicking. No sticks. No bucketā¦
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
