HAM Sniper
I shot my first Fieldtarget event on Saturday in Salem Newyork. I can say for sure im hooked. Wish i would have shot FT long ago. What a Fun discipline. Got paired up with a Veteran FT shooter and i was soaking up everything he was telling me, all the tips and tricks to be a better FT shooter. At the end of the event i ended up taking 2nd place, only a few points behind 1st place. I did bomb the off hand relay and knew i would, went 2 for 6 there. I also went 2 for 6 after bumping my turret the relay after the off hand. I noticed it the next relay and got back on track. (Use your zero stop bonehead) One thing i need is a Scope wheel. I had to go on my ability to judge the ranges by eye. Though i didnt do bad i can do better for sure. Im planning to attend plenty more events this season. Hunter FT, pistol FT and extreme FT all in Newyork. My set up for Hunter FT is a Motorhead tuned BSA Goldstar Se with Huma reg & huma shroud. Topped with a Sightron Stac 4-20X50 Mh4 reticle. Perfect scope for Hunter FT. Rifle is tuned for 18 foot pounds with Jsb 10.3gr pellets and is a lazerbeam, extremely accurate rifle. Capable of wins as long as i do my part. The one gripe i have with this rifle is the angle of the grip, it makes my wrist cramp up well shooting. Other then that i love this rifle. I think Bsa is one of the most accurate and underrated pellet rifles. And one of my personal favorites.
I need to build a pistol for FT, im looking at a few brands. Brocock, Raw, Benjamin. This is all very new to me so if you are a Fieldtarget guy or gal feel free to send tips and tricks my way. Gear suggestions as well.
For extreme FT i think im going to run my Brocock Ghost. The only issue is power. The Newyork Extreme FT has a power limit of 75 or 80 i cant remember? The tune i have on the ghost is around 91 foot pounds, i dont like messing with my rifles once i get them right, but i was thinking just use hammer spring wheel to drop speed just a bit to get me under the limit.
All in all it was a good learning experience and i had alot of fun. Theres something about hitting a reactivate target and the feedback it gives you that has me hooked.
