festa 206 Posted June 12, 2011 Report Share Posted June 12, 2011 what he means by open is exactly that open for anyone to enter so ppl like us who go hunting alot and people who only do comp shoots ... a hamster is another name for a hand grip/rest which aids the shooter but we cant use bipods ... puff gluvs are exactly that gloves worn by puffs hehehe ok gloves worn by shooters who think they can shoot lol ... i say let them use what they want its good to see when one of us lot win with just the basics lol heres a link to the rules http://www.ukahft.co.uk/rules.html atb gary Quote Link to post

fry 209 Posted June 12, 2011 Report Share Posted June 12, 2011 The MPR has a `hamster` on in this pic - Bust. if you was lying down bust shooting, would your hand be resting on the ground? or does it rest on your arm some where? Quote Link to post
Buster321c 1,010 Posted June 12, 2011 Report Share Posted June 12, 2011 If shooting from a lying , or prone position , with this rifle , i do tend to make a `fist` and rest the hamster on top of it . Basically gives the stability needed instead of using a bi-pod . I think in HFT only the bottom of the butt pad is allowed to touch the floor . Its mainly for the support it can give during certain shots . If you were to rest your elbow , for example on your knee , the hamster gives you the extra height needed to get the scope at a comfortable level .For serious FT shooting the rules can be a bit fickle , at the minute i think shooting in the prone position , gun and forearm , from elbow to finger tips MUST clear the ground . To be perfectly honest , the rabbits dont really care how i hold it , they dont like it either way Quote Link to post

Phantom 631 Posted June 13, 2011 Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 Hey Millsy A Poof gluv is used by the high end comp shooters, the type that weigh every single pellet in a batch and will only use the ones within a fraction of the tollerance that their styer will use. Extra padding, so its like holding your gun on a shooting beanbag you get the extra stability but no bipods are allowed. They also tend to carry shooting mats around with them They'll be using the bondage gear and blinkered glasses next that the olympians wear. Quote Link to post

Phantom 631 Posted June 13, 2011 Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 I saw some of the serious comp shooters there with mildot cards so you should be fine there and scopeshades should be okay others had them there. Some of them had little spirit levels and windicators as well Tony Quote Link to post
