    12fpe equipment check at Worlds.

    Hey everyone. The thing to remember is not to get your rifle up to the limit and hope it stays under. It is strongly advised that you are WELL under the limit. Give yourself some wiggle room. Don't run your gear at 11.95 and hope and pray you're safe. It won't work. Set your power low enough...

    12fpe equipment check at Worlds.

    There is no leeway in WFTF for worlds. There is no 2% like AAFTA. You’ve got three shots, if one of those blows under 12 fpe you’re good if not, your DQ’d. There is unfortunately zero margin. So be very careful.

    AAFTA Nationals 2024

    I hear you about the abuse luggage gets on flights. There are some great stories out there. For me, a few key things I do ... first, insurance to the hilt. Homeowners, credit card travel insurance, and the airline baggage policy combined provide a nice overlap of protection. Then a good case...

    AAFTA Nationals 2024

    Well, I just came back from a fantastic trip. What a great match!! Holy smokes. **** Massive props to the Mass group.**** Let me throw this out there. There were so many elements of this match that ticked all the boxes in field target. Let me just name a few… First of all the most prominent...

    Here’s how this works: You go to a match. You have hard targets and you have easy targets. The match gets averaged. Consideration and points are earned for things that make it harder. And you get points for that. Simple. At the end of the year, every point matters at each match to help you...

    Great question; I believe that's the intent.

    Being a part of the Association provides the opportunity to be involved in the rules process. The BoG understands the significance of transparency. Although most rules are pretty straightforward, some are complex. Even though every rule is pretty well vetted for months before making a...

    AAFTA GP course optimization

    Remember, the best way to "game the system" is *to shoot well*. Be successful on all your shots. Gaming the system before the recent change was as simple as: Having a nice and small GP that there weren't many good shooters attending in the class that you were competing in and scoring...

    AAFTA GP course optimization

    Sub threads here : nats location, optimization, gp vs nats, Sonoran bias I'll say it again ... Variety is the spice of field target. Nationals is a head-to-head competition. Two days, one chance. The GP is the negotiation of variety and variability in different conditions over the long haul...

    AAFTA GP course optimization

    Here is where the crossroads of a diverse course, and a "tick all the boxes" course meet. Yup, you can go either way. The question is which one are you willing to go to? Anyone can set a course to spank the crap out of most competitors and try to feel good about getting the most points. At...

    AAFTA GP course optimization

    I love the mathematic exercises in determining course points. We can scheme to max out points until our eyes flicker from calculations. Super cool, but the bottom line, is that most people are going to attend an event because it was fun, appropriately challenging, diverse, unique, and...

    Actually, they are very supportive of airguns. I seem to remember a conversation about this before. It is a fantastic place. The problem is, the manpower to put it on. It is very difficult to get people to fly and drive across the country to volunteer to set up an event. This sounds fantastic...
