You just mentioned the Digi Nite Eye - a Hawke scope almost as old as me and long out of production (also like me). Must be my very weird eyes, but I can see clearly from 45 yards down to 15 - really clear; paint fleck clear. And still able to see an 8 yard kill zone. It's all down to the eyes 🤓

Thanks for sharing your experience with me. I am looking at this type of competition to compete in. I have shot rifles and pistols all my life. I am very interested in a competition where accuracy and precision are combined with camaraderie, and I have always enjoyed shooting springer type rifles. I live in Bakersfield California USA. From the choices of spring power rifle’s I am interested in the Air Arms TX 200 Mk 3 in .22 caliber as I intend to hunt and compete with it. Scope wise I haven’t been able to make a decision yet but I’ll have a budget of around $900,00. It has been my experience that I should spend the most I can afford on the optics especially since I’m in my mid 60s. I plan to order the rifle and scope together with a good set of mounts rated for the abuses of a spring powered rifle. If I can do that I feel comfortable with the choice of kit and should have years of enjoyment and be able to hand it down to one of my grandchildren. Thanks again, Kurt Goss

Great vid as always Gary. In HFT comps I sometimes see people taking a second shot at a target having missed it the first time ‘just to see what their pellet is doing’ rather than work it out through the subsequent comp shots like the rest of us. Could you mention this in a future video as some people seem unaware that this is technically cheating? Cheers, Matt

I'm keen to know about the pistol grip rule. Isn't the butt of the rifle on the ground a lot more stable than the pistol grip on the ground? I'm aware of the rule, but always wondered why
@lankymk
Жыл бұрын
It's more about not allowing anything other than the lower edge of the butt pad to touch the ground not just the grip specifically. In the original idea for HFT they didn't want bipods or anything specific to be used off the deck. By allowing only the butt to touch the ground that eliminates anything else being used while still allowing some stability (butt on the ground is certainly more stable than shooting from the shoulder)
@WallyHale21
Жыл бұрын
@@lankymk Fair enough .. if it were up to me, I'd amend the rule. Of course bipods or other attachments shouldn't be allowed, or hamsters touching ground, but a pistol grip is part of the stock, like the butt of the rifle. Some of the extenders and custom butt's that are used are much more of an advantage than the pistol grip touching the ground. People dig them in and all sorts to make it rock solid. I have to squeeze my pinkie finger under the pistol grip on a lot of shots as I use a TDR, and the butt doesn't extend further than the pistol grip 😒

@ShootingCountryTV hi Gary, I realise that rules are needed. I shoot 6 yard bell which is not weighed down with rules. Prior to that I shot 10 metre paper which is now inundated with rules. You spend £50 on a glove to find the rules have changed and you can't use it. In the early nineties myself and 2 friends decided to give FT a go. I had a Anschutz 2002 target gun converted to 12 ft lbs by Dave Welham. We turned up at Hilton FT club with our double canvas kackets and shooting gloves. Other competitors looked at us as if we came from another planet. They all had Camo jackets. I notice what we started is now the Norm in FT. I've been shooting 61 years and as I get older I want less rules. I await someone who will come up with that discipline. Vito
