Introduction to Field Target
B.B. Pelletier has just completed a long 6 part series on the air gun sport of Field Target
Field target began in Great Britain sometime in the early 1980s. According to the British Field Target Association (BFTA) field target manual, the year was 1981. They say there that the original purpose was a hunting simulation, but I have been told by many veteran shooters that FT was just another sport that happened to use animal silhouettes as targets.
It is worth a read if you enjoy shooting air guns.
