Thinking of trying HFT

[noz1]

Second hand TX200 = £290
Hawke Vantage Max 4-12x40 = £130
Shooting glove = £30
Toddlers play mat from Ikea = £20

£470 in total. When I started shooting with this setup I could barely manage 40's at HFT. After a year of learning the kit I got joint 6th at worlds recoiling (with food poisoning), and first in HFT class at the Paul James. I expect FT is a similar story. It's probably got very little to do with how much you spend, and everything to do with how much work you are willing to put in learning your kit and setup

I take your point, Sir, BUT, those Gentlemen at the GP would not have spent all that money if they did not have to, I think. Perhaps if any of them read this, I and many others would be interested to hear from them. I realise that ability counts for a lot, but the best gear must help as well, I'm sure.

Yebbut you're both talking different disciplines FT and HFT, as I said there is world of difference as to what kit will get you a decent way forward.
