In 2006 Lea Valley will be holding 3 springer open HFT competitions. Each competition will be over a 30 shot course to UKAHFT rules.
Open to spring guns and gas-ram guns (no semi-recoilers).
Overall these opens will decide the UK Spring Gun Championship 2006!
All safe shooters welcome; shoot one, two or all three rounds.
Each event will be a stand-alone event but the overall winner of the series (the 2 best scores counting towards individual shooters' totals) will be crowned the UK Spring Gun Champion 2006.
Trophies will be awarded for each round and the overall championship for 1st, 2nd and 3rd for all categories: Men, Ladies and Juniors.
There will be a first place trophy (only) for each round and overall championship for .22.
Dates:
Sunday 30th April
Sunday 11th June
Sunday 10th September
Entry £6 per round / £4 Juniors
Get your proper airguns out and get practising!

You know of another?
I could say the same thing about UKAHFT - E&WAHFT perhaps? - but I won't
Am I to take that as your application?
As a non-Southerner myself I have some sympathy with what you say
You can please some of the people.......

Paul and I are interested. Is it going to be pre-book, or just turn up on the day?

Good question
Probably just turn up on the day. If there's loads of interest nearer the time we may look at pre-booking but as we can fit in two rounds (ie 180 shooters) I doubt it'll be required.
Any change to this will be posted here

So what happens if a Gas ram wins it overall ? Hardly a Spring gun champion.
Not really a fan of gas rams competing in a Spring gun championship.

A wise man has something to say, a fool has to say something.

What's your concern ? Do you consider them easier to shoot than a regular well tuned springer ? Which springers / GasRams have you compared ?
Genuinely curious about this statement....

Don't see the problem myself either - gas ram is just a type of spring after all.
Registered User
Them's the rules.
As people who've shot LV springer competitions before will testify them's always been the rules.
All are welcome to participate in this series but attendance isn't compulsary

I cant see a problem here.
Gas ram gets classed into the the springer category because of the recoil factor, Its very similar to the spring recoil action, albeit using a ram rather than a spring.
The only exception was Semi-recoiling guns, this I'm sure you'll agree speaks for itself, and is a no no!.
