To score a
point, your pellet must hit the Kill Zone circle in the center
of the target to make it fall. Sometimes you
hit the edge of the circle and the target will not fall.
Airgun Field Target (FT) is an outdoor
shooting sport shot with air rifles that are
powerful enough for hunting. Firing points
are laid out along a path winding through a
natural setting.
The air rifle’s muzzle
energy is limited to 20 foot pounds or less,
and only led pellets are allowed. Rifles
made for small game are more successful then
rifles intended for plinking, or paper
targets at 10 meters.
Scopes are needed to see the hit zones,
also, because aiming must be precise to deal
with the pellet’s trajectory. Scopes that
focus on the target are recommended. Range
finders are not allowed.
A
strap around the knees and back will make
the FT sitting position more comfortable.
Also a cushion (up to 6 inches thick) is a
good idea. |
The targets are a hinged steel
plate in the shape of an animal. A pellet must pass
through a hole (hit zone) in the face plate and make
the face plate to fall.
The challenge of Field Target
is that targets are set out at random and unknown
distances. Also, hit zones can be any size from 3/8
to 1 1/2 inch. The sport emphasizes knowledge of
trajectory and aiming points for ranges from 10 to
55 yards.
