The game is a lot like 3d archery shoots if you are familiar with them. Don't try to learn anything from this thread at this point. Folks on the forum here will argue endlessly about nuances that don't really matter. There are a few who know each other in real life, and jokes and insults my not be understood behind screen names. Go to a shoot, call ahead and ask if you can borrow a rifle. It is way easier to try and learn the game if the scope and gun are dialed in with a complete range card. If you take your rifle without data, you will be able to count on fingers how many targets you hit that first match.I've been curious about FT since trying to find air gun ranges in the PNW area and seeing the Airgun Oregon web site. Wandering into this thread was like reading about someone that took too much acid and merged Twister with the Hokey Pokey. I read the AAFTA rule pdf which was somewhat helpful cuz it's not discussing the history of logistical changes, just the current facts, ma'am. I think for now I'll spend time at the local range with 10m match since it's simpler, just point and shoot. Though, the idea of wandering around the woods shooting targets down does sound appealing and of course, takes this to the next level beyond shooting paper and cans in the backyard. I've been thinking a trip down to Ashland for some training might help with wrapping my head around the nuances of FT.
