Texas Field Target -New Course map and Info

Texas Field Target - September 23rd 2023 Map and Course Info

Target and course map have been made for September. As a reminder, Members have a private course and range to shoot this Saturday from 9am to 9pm on our 10-125 yd / 20-100 FPE Field Target courses, plus the targets will be lit for night shooting! We will have 3 courses for 2 power classes open and 2 lanes for practice. Practice lanes will also have a chronograph set up for tuning, paper targets and will also be featuring the very first S&S Silhouette Field Targets, yet another addition to the finest field targets made. Dare to compare y’all!

TFT Members can shoot almost any airgun at our targets and practice range. See what your AAFTA Hunter rig or 20 FPE pistol can do out to 75+ yds, you might be suprised. Everything is bigger in Texas, so why not 20 fpe FT, right? The white course is for just that reason! Because we use all S&S targets for <100 fpe FT we can share targets between classes easily, which means members have more options and can shoot a wider range of energy levels in the same day and from the same lanes. Loop as many times as you like with ( almost) whatever airgun you like.

Red Course- <100 FPE, .30 cal max, pellets only
White Course - <20 FPE, pellets only
Blue Course - <20 FPE, pellets only

General rules for non-tournament shooting. ( Tournament rules may be different )

White Course - 10-75 yds Targets #1-3
Red Course 25-125 yds Targets #2-4
Blue Course 10-125 yds Targets #1-4

All distances will be given. Each course will use only 3 of the 4 targets per lane. White course targets in the 10-25 yd range are to be shot only with <20 FPE. Each course is a total of 36 shots, with 2 shots per target, 3 targets per lane and 6 lanes in total. Course of fire is near to far. There are no forced position lanes. Shooters may shoot from any position and may use seats without backrests, unattached bipods and slings. Both the Red and White courses are scored as hit or miss.

Blue Course - 10-125 yds
This is a challenge course following the same rules but with a very different scoring system. Shooters will have 6 shots maximum for each lane. Each target must be knocked down once and only once. Lane is completed after all 4 targets have fallen once OR a total of 8 shots have been taken, whichever is first. Best possible score is 4 on each lane with a best possible overall score of 24. Maximum overall score is 36. Targets are shot near to far. Scorecards are to be marked with hash marks under each target score space indicating shots taken, i.e., if it took Shooter A three shots to knock down a target, there would be three hash marks in the scoring space. OSOK!

Looks awesome, hoping there's some shade at each shooting position. Looks different than the wooded area I shot with y'all a few years ago?
Yes, all under shade and minimal travel between lanes. Lanes 1-4 and the practice lanes are off the covered concrete “porch” area. Lanes 5&6 are covered with hail storm proof shade tents, the shooting line simply extends into the road area. The course you have shot in the woods is beyond the 125 yd mark and shoots to 55 yds, perpendicular to the other ranges. Because of airguns (pellets, actually) we can shoot on and past the original 100 yd range, built in 1916. Keeping history alive!
