"Meon 50" Field Target competition - 17 March 2024 (for FT and FT Sporter shooters)

[fastnick]

Once again, Meon Valley Airgun Club will be putting on what is becoming a bit of a traditional "season-opener" as shooters dust off their rifles after the winter lay-off and ready themselves for another year of shooting.

Both the format and the venue of the Meon 50 remain the same as in previous years:

* 50 targets over 25 lanes, set to current BFTA rules

* Held at Meon Valley Airgun Club's grounds at Hen Woods, between East Meon and West Meon in Hampshire

* Nearest postcode is GU32 1HY and What 3 Words are unstable.romantics.dorm

* Signing-in from 8.00am, with the mandatory safety brief (which all competitors must be present for) just before the start of the competition at 10.00am

* Entry fee is just £10 if you book and pay in advance (more details of how you do this to follow shortly), or £15 if you pay on the day

* There will be trophies for all the usual FT classes, plus we will once again be running an FT Sporter class

But what if you don’t shoot Field Target? Maybe you’re a staunch HFT shooter?

Well, the "Meon 50" shoot could be right up your street - for those more accustomed to shooting prone, the “Sporter Class” that will be run on 17th March is the perfect way to try something that’s just a little different (but still very, very similar) to HFT:

• You shoot from the prone position, off your elbows.
• No part of the rifle is allowed to touch the ground.
• Targets may go out to 55 yards, BUT you can adjust your scope/”dial-in” to range-find if you wish.
• 2 targets per lane, 3 minutes per lane.

A top quality, 50 target course set by “Mr Field Target” himself, Meon Valley Airgun Club’s very own Justin Wood and his cohort of equally evil-minded helpers, for just a tenner - this has surely got to be the very best value competition of 2024!
