You all did very very well.

 

Everyone of you did yourself proud in them winds.

 

One of the first times I ever tried HFT I only scored 37 in calm conditions with a Tench tuned and regged Ultra so for you lads to score 40 and up with a springer in that wind is a real credit to yourselves.

from what I gathered the one time I tried hft is the main important thing is guessing the range right..

 

fair enough its also a skill to shoot properly in funny positions stretched out looking behind you with your gun through your legs lol (slight exaggeration) but the main thing , for me, was judging the distance.

 

wind would make all that even harder so to get a good score you have to be quite versatile as a shooter :thumbs:

 

so WELL DONE LADS :toast:

This is very true Skot.

 

HFT is a lot about the judging of distance as well as the normal stuff involved in making a correct shot. When we hunt a lot of us use lasers which take this problem away from us.

 

Ive heard people call HFT a game before and in some ways it is.

 

Not being able to adjust your AO or adjust your magnification also adds to the whole HFT problem and makes it totally different from hunting where you would move in to position with all your scope and rifle being set for that shot and in focus.

spot on Si.. in real life shooting at say a squirrel or a rabbit you don't HAVE to take an awkward shot, you can move to a different location, or leave them for another day, or wait for them to move. any responsible shooter would do this

 

whereas, in the game of hft, the target has to be shot from a certain position with no adjustment or lazers lol

 

but that's what makes it fun and hard to hit every killzone and get 60/60

 

I got 37 or 38 on my first attempt with a .22 springer, which I though wasn't too shabby at all for a virgin ;):laugh::laugh:
