    Talking Field Target interest?...in the South East?

    Just out of interest, how many people would be interested in FT down our way?
    Not sure if i would have the time but i have always really fancied it!

    Maybe if there is enough interest, we could give it a try?
    Swallows should put a course on....they are after all the oldest FT club around!!?

    Just interested in peoples views, not the ideal section possibly?.....But most people i know go here!

    FT in the south east ?

    howdo mate . i shoot FT for SEFTA . springfield is my club . there are not to many FT shooters on the BBS . but if you want to try to start a section for FT . the best way is to hold an open on whatever ground you can beg or hire . then go on and on about it on the forums . IE the BBS , the SHOOTING THE BREZE AND THE AIRGUN FORUM . to drum up interest . to make it simple , just give cash prizes so you do not have to get cups and such . take the prize money out of the entrance fee . get a bit of catering if pos and away you go . nearest FT club to you in SEFTA is in ashford . you might nip along and see how it is done . 40 targets is avearage , two standing lanes and two kneeling lanes . the rest sitting .you may that way drum up some interest in the area . i for one will turn up ???

    For what it's worth I asked the same thing a while ago , there was some interest but not a great deal infact at the Horsham FT final only Derek , a three legged dog called patch and a bender from the coast called Chris turned up .

    Hi All

    Had a word with Gerry (Swallows Chair) today and he's quite keen on this. We used to shoot FT rules when still at Plumpton, but hardly ever since our move to Lewes.

    Will take a bit of sorting, with need to refresh memory of the current rules and fill in a few minor gaps in equipment, including a bundle of stop watches .

    Once we've sorted this years SIHFT dates, we'll come up with a proposal.

    Would you lot be interested in coming to Swallows for such a shoot?

    Sure a few Hobbits would come for a laugh, sure a few might even bring their FT kit with them, although the price of fuel may dictate this.
