In FT competition the objective is to hit a small “kill” zone hole in the target face plate that typically resembles a small animal. A successful shot strikes a metal paddle and tips the target face plate backwards indicating a hit. Targets are reset by pulling a string from the shooting position. A FT match generally consists of 60 shots (2 shots on 30 targets), placed at unspecified distances between 10 and 55 yards from the firing line. Generally, targets are placed at or near ground level, but more challenging FT courses have targets elevated high above the shooting position or down steep slopes. FT competitions adhere to a set of rules that cover safety, shooting positions and equipment restrictions. The US governing body for FT is the American Airgun Field Target Association, AAFTA, and these rules are published in their Handbook (www.AAFTA.org).

For those new to the Field Target sport we have loaner rifles available and can pair you up with a experienced marksman so you can get a feel for the sport and learn the ropes, all at no cost.

Here at Central Carolina Gun Club Field Target all level of marksmen are welcome. We accommodate the needs of our competitors. If you have any special needs or requests feel free to contact me at anytime so arrangements can be made before the match.
