I’m not disagreeing with you - I thought that as well, as do others I have chatted with over the years. Maybe I misunderstood when HFT was born out of FT, or has history been re-written by those who weren’t there, or maybe it is just the progression of the sport? Admittedly more and more silhouettes are of geometric shapes or non-quarry creatures (birds of prey, wolves, monkeys, bulls and a whole host of different birds) or other things (Aeroplanes, hand grenade and dragons). But the feedback from official UKAHFT sources is that HFT is a target competition and not meant to simulate hunting (despite ’Hunter’ being part of the name), which is used to explain some of the rules.

This doesn’t add anything to the calibre debate, but does let me express some of my ‘grumpy old man’ views to somebody other than my long suffering wife and kids.
