    I use a ROHM Twinmaster Top with open sights, 177.... Have made a few changes, like taken the power up a bit, but getting very good results, top pistol...

    Have also use the Attomic in 177 with open sights, good results with that as well until it started going wrong...

    BSA Scorpion! I used open sights for a while but the old eyes and all that.

    Our club shoots a very hard version of pistol HFT with 15mm reducers and targets out to 25 yards. We fire 4 shots at 15 targets - ie out of 120.

    The top boys use Rohms or Steyrs and can get 110+.

    With open sights I averaged about 60ish, switching to a scope boosted my last score to 78 - which I was well pleased with, not bad for a 1970's pistol with a kick like a mule

    Sorry to disappoint but I've never shot pistol HFT, only pistol FT in the NEFTA winter league. I don't shoot a lot of HFT so don't get the chance to have a go. Apart from being run alongside the UKAHFT comps which I've never been to, it doesn't seem to be big in this region.

    I used to use my HW45 Silver Star but I have just bought a Webley Alecto in .177 so I'll be using that from now on.

    I love my scorpion, it's so much more satisfying to hit your mark using an old springer! It's too easy with these fancy new tarts handbags - no sport in it I say!

    I've been using a Brocock Atomic .22, which has been pretty good for HFT. Alot of the people at my club use Rhom Twinmaster Top's in .177.
