In preparation for the upcoming and yet-to-be-announced Texas Field Target Silhouette matches, I felt a bit over zealous and thought OK these are just too cool not to share before the video lands and the first match announced. Water jet cut, Powder coated AR steel paddle scale targets in the traditional chicken, pig, turkey and ram. Swap out the arm and face of an existing target in about 3 min and you have a resettable silhouette that goes down 12-125 fpe.
Stay tuned for the upcoming TFT Silhouette match announcement! TFT-S will be starting in September!!

Custom faceplates too! Have an idea, we can make it happen. And you can purchase directly on TexasFieldTarget.com !!!



Silhouette paddles will be added to both size targets once we finish the R&D and the final round of testing.

Full disclosure: TFT does not profit in any way by selling targets. Zero markup. Why? We want the sport to grow and increasing cost is counter-intuitive. TFT and S&S partnered up over the summer, combining talents, vision and products to simply grow the sport. The partnership provides less digital and web requirements for S&S so R&D and manufacturing can be the focus. TFT’s parent company, Cosine Sports Solutions, is also slated to move AZXFT.com to our servers. That move alone cuts the web hosting in half, and available to any airgun website. PM me for more info.

Ohhhhhhh... NOW I get it!😵‍💫

Think I grasped it (at least somewhat) when you explained it in a phone conversation (or several), but "a picture is worth a thousand words"... when dealing with a DOLT like Ron Robinson. I might have been preoccupied thinking those would be the most expensive silhouette targets (per size) ever; but if you... or I have them already for Extreme Field Target, the dual-purpose (Silhouette) IS A BONUS! COOL!!!

I may be slow, but... ummmm...:unsure: errrr...:unsure:

I'M SLOW!

Most of the targets were all shooting, whether it be at 12 ft lbs, or 100 ft pounds, are all just copies from someone else that we have copied, or used 95% of their design, then call it ours. These targets are beautiful, but they originated as Action Armor ones sold by AOA (made by someone else). The guys that started Extreme FT, got an Action Armor Target and had a friend with a CAD system and water jet machine, take the target apart and copy the pieces, calling it their new design. I know of others that have bought 1 Extreme Field Target from whoever sells them, and copied it, then made their own. So it cost them a few hundred bucks to get the original, then copy it and call it theirs. There are no copy rights or patents to protect anyone, so thats what we all do. If we have the knowledge and have the equipment and time, we can all do it. If you have a friend with a water jet machine and the CAD knowledge, you can buy the original and copy it. I make targets for myself and my club and some friends, that look alot like Flopover's from the UK, ,but theyre not exact. I think it would be great if the people selling them now would just say, oh yeah, its almost a whatever brand of target....that wont happen cuz people would be butt hurt....

The original of the 100 FPE targets were Steel Plinkers! They were copied by AOA but never improved. The targets you are referring to Bill have gone through many modifications and actually work from 12# to 115 FPE and can be shot with.22 LR which no one else can claim. Plus all pieces are interchangeable between target mechanisms something that can’t be done with any existing target systems. Not trying to get into a pissing match. But all I can say is dare to compare.

Me either Mike. I wasnt dogging anyone out, I dont know about XFT other than seeing the targets in person and watching a few videos, , as I do not shoot it. I dont have any guns that would compete, as all my guns are sub 12 ft lbs.
