Hunter Field Target

Hunter Field Target or HFT, is an air rifle shooting discipline using any  sub 12 ft/lb air rifles. It involves shooting 30 metal targets placed in a hunting type environment, nearly always in natural woodland and fields. The targets have a “hit zone”, often a black circle within a white or yellow faceplate, and hitting this will knock the target down. The target can then be reset by pulling a string. The sizes of the targets and sizes of the kill zones vary, and targets can be placed at distances of 8 yards to 45 yards in a UKAHFT spec competition.

OPEN class is for all .177 calibre PCP,Pneumatic or recoilless air rifles. They are fitted with a rifle scope of around 9 – 12  x Magnification, which cannot be adjusted during a competition. The preferred choice is a sub 12 ft/lb , single shot model, or one where a single shot loading tray can be fitted. The below rifles and scopes are ideal for this shooting sport:
