The Worlds course

Like using 35mm kill zones @ 40 yards to fool people into thinking they were 40mm @ 45 yards

That would have been 36mm, there was also a healthy mix of 32mm kills on the woodland course!

we also had a 45mm kill out on the lake....over 40yds but bracketed closer to 35...

Seeing this discussion and the revelation of so many intermediate KZ sizes does, believe it or not, make me feel slightly better about the atrocious score I produced on Monday (Lake course).

While I'm an old (very) hand at shooting and have been 'playing' with FT & HFT for about 5 years now, the vast majority of targets used - probably until now - on our local club comps have been your off-the-shelf 15, 20 and 40/45mm targets.

Now very clear that my recent discovery - the 'art' () of using MAP reticles on full-size kills to confirm visual range estimating - led to my Lake course let down. I didn't use mil-dot ranging on Sunday when shooting the Woods, probably because I had enough to think about knowing I already had my zero wrong .

Hey ho .... better prep for 2010, eh ?!?

I presume that the 15 people who've voted "Easy" are all in the top 15 on the result sheet AND shot at clubs where 30-something KZs are the norm .

Get some plates made up so you can stick them over the standard KZs and get some practice at the "Deceivers" - optical illusion = ranged wrong = 12 or 6 o'clock dink = .

I soon sussed this out and got to trust my DOF blur and not my treacehrous mildots

Beleive me I'm on to it - right now. Only slight reservation about using add-on plates is that, as soon as people see them (pretty much impossible to disguise), they know that it's not 'normal'.

Unless, of course, I was to make a few 45mm 'reducer' plates and rivet them in place over a ...... 45mm KZ

Sneeky, eh?

They're not believe me, the ones on the woods you cannot tell from looking at them from the front that they have been modified! But remember a lot of HFT course setters will scale down the plate as well so other methods of bracketing don't work!

If you found the wind at the worlds a problem you should have stayed off the BEANS!!!!!!!!

No I thought both courses were tricky, but very subtley tricky, if it were that easy then more people than Kieran would have cleared the course. I know all my misses were either me being crap and two for wind.

Fully agreed, just one for wind for me, long un by the lake, a gust popped up as I pressed into the 2nd stage, too late All the rest I was crap
