Field target

Field Target is a shooting discipline that tests a shooters ability to the full. It is shot using air rifles at distances of up to 55 yards. It is a unisex sport that also allows juniors to compete on level terms with the seniors. Shooting is normally from the sitting position.

Shooting from the seated position

The targets used are usually metal silhouettes that have 40mm holes cut in them. Behind the hole is another metal plate on a hinge and a spring. When a pellet goes through the hole and hits the rear plate, the plate moves backwards releasing the spring. This causes the whole of the targets metal silhouette to fall over, indicating a good hit. A course of fire in a competition may consist of up to 30 targets.
