Palmyra Sportsmen's Association (near Hershey, PA) - Indoor Field Target - Sunday, March 9, 2025.
Our Indoor Field Target event is a great way to get introduced to field target, have fun, or practice for the upcoming outdoor season. Even if you do not intend to shoot and just want to learn more about the air gun field target game, consider stopping by to observe and ask questions.
Targets are placed at ranges between 10 yards and 22 yards, and 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. The course is 5 lanes with two targets per lane, 2 shots per target. Although targets are set using rifle difficulty, you can shoot with pistol.
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.
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.

The difficulty was similar to last months setup, the targets were placed between 10 and 22 yards, and if shot all from the standing position, the course difficulty was 25.7. Although it was an average moderate difficulty course, the hardest target was a 3/4in KZ at 18 yards.
This wraps up the 2024-2025 Indoor FT season. I am sure everyone is anxiously awaiting the upcoming outdoor matches.

Thanks to everyone that shot with us over the winter, and we hope to see you at our outdoor matches. Specially thanks to everyone that helped cleanup, there's always a bunch of shuffling things around following this match, and many hands make for light work.
It was a Hoot!
Thanks for holding the shoot!
See you outdoors next time, hopefully, at the Long Range Match.
