NEFTA (North East Field Target Association)
Will be hosting a new type of competition series this Summer.
This will consist of 6 events :-
Redfearns (nr Huddersfield/Barnsley)
Anston (nr Chesterfield)
Pontefract (guess where this one is)
Thorn Dell (nr Durham)
Guiseley (NE Leeds)
Emley Moor (nr Huddersfield/Barnsley)
The series is shot to a set of rules that will be very familiar to UKAHFT fans
With the added twist of a new type of Merit Award scheme.
There are no trophies for 1st, 2nd 3rd etc - instead there are a series of badges which will be awarded to all competitors that achieve 1 of 3 merit levels (Bronze, Silver and Gold)
Full details of the merit award scheme and the rules, venues and dates can be found on the NEFTA Hunter website.
None of the dates clash with any major UKAHFT, BFTA or WFTA events.
Hope to see you there

Lo there do I see my father. Lo there do I see my mother, and my sisters and my brothers. Lo do I see the line of my people back to its beginning. Lo they do call to me and bid me take my place among them, in the Halls of Valhalla, where the brave may live forever.
Do you know, Si... I just happen to have found a couple of scorecards in my jacket pocket from last weekend...
Hmm. Where did I put that SCSI cable for the scanner?

I believe 3 times is the accepted maximum within a 12 month period - I have a spreadsheet of excuses, so when I've used one I simply increment the excuse usage counter by one and move onto the next excuse. Simple innitYou can only use that excuse once though

Don't forget the first event for the NEFTA Hunter Series is at Redfearns next Sunday
All the badge designs have been made up and they look awesome!! I'll have a full set with me at Bolton this weekend if anyone wants to get a sneaky peak at them.
Tried to take some photo's but I'm not good enough with a camera to do them justice - I'm hoping a grown up will be able to help me out on that score though.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not big on collecting badges or anything nerdy like that, but these things look seriously awesome - the bronze, silver and gold look very nice indeed, but everyone I've shown the Phoenix badge to has had the same reaction - "Oooo I MUST have one of those!"
FT has badges for various different comps, but as far as I know this is the first HFT merit badge of it's kind.
For anyone that's never shot an HFT course at Redfearns before, this place is notorious for some of (if not the most) challenging HFT courses in the country. Dave Baines (Mr highrise himself) must have a meanstreak a mile wide
Anyone that manages to earn a Gold award at a Redfearns HFT shoot (95% or better!) is certainly one hell of a good shot!
There are no trophies at these events! - there are no 1st, 2nd, 3rd places etc and there are no shoot-offs. If you manage to win a merit badge, then you're no better or worse than anyone else in that same banding. (Bronze, Silver, Gold)
When you consider the calibre of shooter at these events (Andy Calpin, Ian Taylor, Gary Cooper, Tim Finley, Dave Baines, Paul Wilson, Keith Wooley, Darren Petts etc etc) and the difficulty of the courses then if you happen to see someone wearing a Gold NEFTA Hunter Squirrel at the next UKAHFT event it means they came within 3 points of the top score of the day at Redfearns
Be prepared to drop to your knees and bow at their feet, proclaiming how unworthy you are to be in their presence
I'm not holding out any hopes of winning Gold myself, I'd be very happy to manage an 85% or more to take a Silver Rook award.
If you want any more details on these events, surf along to www.neftahunter.co.uk
Good luck at BAGS, hope to see some of you over at Redfearns next weekend.

Can't wait for SundayEarlier this week Mr Baines could be clearly seen setting the course up from the plinking range at Redfearns - he was about 200 yards away and 50 foot up a tree
