    All designated positions will be on 40 – 45mm kill size targets
    Minimum kill size is for undesignated positions is 25mm and may be used from 8 to 35 yards
    Full size kill targets may be placed between 8 and 55 yards.
    Each lane will have two numbered targets and these must be shot in order
    Scoring will be 1 point for a knock down and zero for anything else.
    Positions allowed in FT are:
    Prone – Note the gun and the forearm from elbow to fingertips must be clear of any support

    Think one fundamental crucial point has been missed out.

    How long (meaning a span of time for you Oakies) is each competitor allowed to complete a lane.

    Just wondering like, seem to remember reading that’s quite important to how the game is played.

    Cool just found a stopwatch on my phone.

    Mikeeeeeeeeeeeeeeey best you learn how not to meditate on your arse like you do on your rotund gut.

    Tick tock

    2 minutes per lane - Mike has invested in stop watches to ensure we aren't late home and in any more trouble than usual........

    Rotund???....Rotund....Hardly describes my Six Pack Andy......

    Shooting the FT in an HFT style will almost certainly win the day, i reckon.....
    Until we get used to using our 'New fangled' gear!!...

    Brilliant!

    Count me in

    Im glad the FT is only 20 shots as i was worried I'd have to pump the Ultra up half way round a 40 shot course (not worried about the actual pumping, just the torrent of innuendo based pumping gags! )

    Think this could get very interesting!

    Just got back from gardening duties (not leave) !
    If I understand this correctly those prone shooters on a 16+ mag are going to have massive wobbles. I think a HFT standard rig will be the winner.
    PS: I do not have a big lens - I tried one once and was not impressed apart from the absolute clarity of the moving target.
    However count me in!
    Falcon Lighthunter (.177),Air Arms S400 (.22),Weihrauch HW98 (.177),Hatsan 55S (.177), TH78D (.22) & a 2240 (.22)

    Having now invested in a nice FT rig ( not really ) I look forward to using it at least once this year , thats twice as much use as my HFT rig gets and three times the amount the Diana SP50 gets when hunting .

    I look forward to going into the woods and twiddling with my knob without fear of being arrested again . lol
