It's finally here, the 2021 Field Target season for the Sacramento Valley Airgun Club and I think we are all ready for some return to normalcy. This should be an exciting year for us as the AATFA National Championship in October and a Western States Grand Prix in August will be held in Morro Bay. The SVFTC will be the sponsoring club for the Western States GP and we will assist with the running of the National Championship.
Come on out and join us for our first match of 2021. We will set up a challenging but fun course to give you a chance to test your skills in shooting Field Target. In case of heavy rain the match will be canceled, watch for any last minute announcements on the GTA or Airgun Nation field target forums.
Note on Covid-19 Protocols: Hopefully by our first match all of our at risk seniors (everyone but Cameron
will have received at least one vaccination by then. We are going to leave the prevention measures up to the individual attendees as we believe you are smart enough to do what is in your best interest. Masks and social distancing will be at your discretion. If someone is wearing a mask please respect their decision and follow social distancing guidelines. Hand sanitizer and disinfectant spray will be available.We will be providing soft drinks, water and a light lunch for those who want to partake. Get in some practice time in after the match!
