World Field Target Federation Championships 2011 – Italy – by Conor McFlynn
Even though the achievement I had accomplished had not fully sunk in, the warm-felt congratulations and well-wishes from everyone involved just overwhelmed me with both pride and joy.
Hopefully FT can begin to gain popularity and flourish in my home country Ireland, where air rifle shooters in general are few and far between. FT is hugely popular throughout many European countries and the world. It truly is the purest form of marksmanship, highly addictive, enjoyable and is perhaps the most inexpensive target shooting sport currently available.
My kit included the following: Rifle – Steyr LG110 Calibre - .177 Velocity – 770fps Pellets – JSB Exact 8.4grn Scope – Deon March X 8-80x56 MTR-1 illuminated reticule. Mounts – ThirdEye 34mm, base to suit 11mm dovetail.
