Palmyra Sportsmen's Association (near Hershey, PA) - Indoor Field Target - Sunday, March 10, 2023.
Targets are placed at ranges between 10 yards and 22 yards. This event is a great way to get introduced to field target, have fun, or practice for the upcoming outdoor season.
Targets will be set to an AAFTA legal difficulty for standing position shots. If you are an experienced FT shooter, we encourage you to shoot the entire course standing. You are not required to shoot the standing position, there are no position restrictions for this event, shoot whatever positions you feel comfortable.
Since the targets are not placed at long distances, this event provides an opportunity to use guns more suited to shorter distances. You may consider shooting a multi-pump pellet gun (no BBs), pistols, or guns that shoot at lower energy levels than required for the outdoor game.
The course is 5 lanes with two targets per lane, 2 shots per target. Courses are set using rifle difficulty, but you can shoot with pistol.
Guns must not exceed 20 fpe (foot-pounds of energy) at the muzzle.
This event is held in our clubhouse on our indoor rifle range. We will be open for sign-ups between 9AM and 1PM. Cost is $5 per round, you can re-enter as many times as time allows.

This was the last indoor FT event for the 2023-2024 winter season, and we had another good turnout on March 10. There were some new shooters this week, we hope to see them shooting during the upcoming outdoor season.
The course was configured for an AAFTA legal difficulty for Offhand Rifle with a difficulty of 25.9 (moderate). The most difficult target on the course was a 3/4 inch Rabbit at 16yds.
Since the targets are at a shorter distance than the outdoor game, it opens up some fun ways to shoot that don't work well in the 55yd outdoor game. A few notable ways were using: multi-pump guns; open-sights; and pistol.
The scores are as follows (ties are not broken)
The next FT match at Palmyra Sportsmens will be outdoors on April 14. Our schedule is available at https://www.palmyrasportsmens.com/Field-Target - check it out to make plans for the upcoming season.
THANKS for the Match.
It was a ton of fun.
I THINK, that if we ever hold a UKHFT style outdoor shoot, I'll shoot it with the DragonFly, LOL!
Again, thanks!

Looks like a great place to shoot indoors and a great turn out reveals that. Good Job PSA!
