I would gladly buy the targets!!! thats the thing, I guess just need to find enough people, get together, and see if we can make something happen?

You can. Call up AoA and ask for Action Amour Targets

100 FPE limit. Up to .30 caliber. Pellets only. 20 to 100 yards. Shot mostly bucket and sticks. Forced lanes(s), (if used - not required) are standing with bipod. Scope mag limited to 32x. Simple rules, lots of fun.

And what makes it fun is that you can use, and be competitive, with the gun you take hunting for small game. There aren't all kinds of rules to remember, no silly ranging with scope focus, distances that you'd normally shoot when hunting ground squirrels or rabbits, and more. There's a REAL time crunch to get your shots off, which hunters know is important, since the game isn't going to sit there and wait for the wind to die down or you to figure out how to dial or hold over for distance. Distances are pre-marked, but you can still use a laser rangefinder to confirm.
Calibers from .22 to .30 have won, so you don't need a specific caliber to be competitive.
And let's face it, it's just plain fun to see a target at 100Y with a 2.5-inch KZ fall at 100 yards in a 10-mph cross wind...

At my club we have a 100 yard line, the berm at 112 yards, ten benches for shooters on that line. We also have a horseshoe 25 yard line that accommodates 8 benches. Could this be a good setup for such an event?

Probably At the club i shoot at we kind of have short to long targets across the range with a bit of mix in the middle.check out the pictures from this match report is probably the best way to show you where we shoot

Yes, if you have the targets. You can always start with various spinners like they do in Oregon.

If @CTAirgunner buys the targets, I’ll get my club to “host” the match. Maybe we can get something started…?

Just added the donated chicken, pig and squirrel face plates to the mix for our next match.

There are 2 Paul's Custom targets (Bear and Sasquatch), 2 S&S standard field targets (Spider & Owl) and the rest are modified Gamo and Crosman targets which are still working well....time will tell on longevity.

Layout for the next match

Guess we’ll see how plain old 1/4” holds up to a match.

They'll do fine! All the other faces are 3/16" and not a mark!

See ya in a week!

dose the whole target fall when you hit the paddle or do you shoot the paddle then the face plate or is it so many point if you get the fae place and more if you hit the paddle?

If you hit the paddle its an x and the faceplate falls. If you hit the faceplate and not the paddle its a 0 and the target laughs at you. Just kidding on the laugh.

As far as the time allowed, some will think its tight that are used to low power short range FT, and those that shoot NRL-22 will think they have all day. Just depends on perspective.

I would love to participate in something like this, we have a FT group here but its the regular FT , the EFT seems more my style. Up here in the Northeast we are not so lucky to have lots of competitions and whatnot.

See you at the EFT in Florida this December!!

I shoot every month at Broome County Sportsman near Binghampton Ny. This month we are shooting regular 20 fpe field target for the first match and we’re having a second 40 target high power match. Its being called high power because we’ve made our own targets and are playing by our rules. The targets are based on regular ft targets with heavier paddles and faceplates. We shoot up to 30 cal 80 fpe from a known distance of 25-100 yards. This will be the second match we’re having like this so we’re still learning a bit but it sure is fun!!!
Oh the 12th this sat is the match we start early match about 9 practice 8 for anyone that wants to come out.

I know this is a dated post, but do you still attend the ft at Broome County Sportsman? I used to live only 15 min from there, long before I discovered airgunning. I am now about 2 hours away but plenty close. If you are still a shooter there and wouldn’t mind a tag along to show the ropes, I’d love to attend several shoots this ‘24 season.

pm me where you live perhaps we could meet and talk or better yet shoot before we would go. If you don’t live near me i could meet you there and show you the ropes.

PA_AirHead........Welcome aboard!

Definitely reach out to Solo1 as he may be close enough to you and you all can meet up.

I run the matches at BCSA, so feel free to ask us anything. On match day, we do regular AAFTA style field target (20 fpe max) first then alternate the second half of the day monthly between HP field target (80 fpe max) or pistol field target. There are some match pictures on my instagram @gshirhall

A bunch of different people travel up from PA to attend, so pretty sure you'll be able to find someone "nearby".

Remember......the best way to watch a field target match is through a scope!!!!
