There is a similar approach with 10m air rifle; a 'sporter' class was introduced to encourage more people into the sport.
Not everyone can afford £2000 rifles and £1000 stiff leather suits...
Or would want to be seen in one!

Too many guns, or not enough time?

Some sensible replies and suggestions at last. I think that all this ' sophisticated gear ' in HFT goes against the grain of the sport. There is FT after all for all those who wish to partake.

The 'Sporter' and NSRA websites have all the details. It was originally created for juniors, but there is an 'open' category for any age.

I was going to have a go myself, but never got around to it - life keeps getting in the way!
A number of manufacturers produce rifles tailored for this discipline, they are not the leery creations used in 10m precision, but I think any rifle that meets the criteria in the rules can by used.
Hope this helps.
