Calling All Field Target and HFT Shooters!

[fastnick]

Last year saw the first-ever running of the British Air Rifle Championships, with competitors shooting both a Field Target course to BFTA rules and an HFT course to UKAHFT rules, and the overall winner being the shooter with the highest combined scores from both courses. Well, Sunday 3rd June sees battle re-joined at Maldon & District Air Rifle Club (M.A.D.) for the title of British Air Rifle Champion 2018……

As the format of last year’s B.A.R.C. seemed to work well and everyone we spoke to seemed very happy with it, there’ll once again be 3 competitions running on the day – one for HFT, one for FT, as well as the overall championship. In addition, in the HFT Class, we’ll also be running categories for both recoil and .22 rifles, provided there are 3 or more entries in each one.

The British Air Rifle Championships is a competition that is by no means only for “elite shooters” in either discipline; the day is very much all about bringing shooters of all abilities from the worlds FT and HFT together, and to enable them to experience both sides of competition air rifle shooting. Whether it’s FT or HFT that you usually shoot, the day is all about having fun and all safe shooters with sub-12 ft. lbs. guns are welcome.

Time for my annual attempt to shoot FT!
Great fun!

I appreciate its a bit pedantic but surely the winner is the British Combined FT/HFT Champion.

If they don't include other air rifle disciplines such as LSR and Benchrest but especially the ISSF 10M then its not really the British Air Rifle Championships?

Especially as the NSRA host the British Airgun Championships for various disciplines in rifle and pistol in February this year.

Just saying like.

Does the NRSA BAC in Feb cover FT and HFT?

Nope, but it does say champions are discipline specific not try to imply they shoot all disciplines the best

I appreciate all the semantics but have to say that the shoot last year brought together hft and circus wheelers in an amazingly friendly way and really challenged each of us to see the skill of our counterparts. Dopper and helpers did an amazing job of setting courses so we can all shoot simultaneously and it was no easy course like 10m holding the gun still on some paper type stuff. There was wind and trajectory to take into account and pushed shooters skills to the limits. And for the likes of me with no skills it just gave me a tremendous day in the woods with some great company. I'll definitely be back and I don't care if winning this would make me British airgun champion or that fat bald bloke with a boinger who kicked Nick Byrne's ass.

I'm sure if the NRSA have an issue they will let the organisers know

To be honest I doubt they are aware its taking place
