It's 19 Chris
Sammie and I are thinking of going
Gary , will you be keeping your gun at 12ftlb?.....just wondering as keeping at 12ftlb gives us a distinct disadvantage if the wind blows a bit.

Chris - you should also consider that upping the power will change the characteristics of the gun + all that you know about it when shooting in wind.
If you aren't going to have time to practice with it at 19ftlb then it may be better to shoot at 12ftlb with all the knowledge you have gained about wind etc. You also have a good excuse if you lose
Dave.
I'll be going 19 Chris
Remember with HFT no dialling in so range is important
Where are the rules for this event? I've looked on the website but can only find the FT rules...
Max x12 and no twiddling are what I know so far
After giving it a bit of thought I'll be missing this one. The HFT is just FT with a low mag scope.

Best make sure you don't split any if you are only running 12 ftlb
