Today on Air Arms TV, we recently caught up with Jack Harris, two time World FT Champion and winner of the BFTA Series for the last four years running for a chat about this shooting career.
How long have you been shooting air rifles?
I’ve been shooting for about 14 years, but this is my 10th year shooting field target.
What do you enjoy most about competing?
I don’t like competing until it’s over. I sometimes feel very stressed when it comes to the actual shooting. It can be difficult to enjoy, however once it’s all finished I want to do it all over again!
Why did you decide to shoot field target?
I used to shoot HFT, but a new club opened at Nelson FTC, when my dad and I went there our shooting instantly improved. He brought me an Air Arms EV2, but only if I was going to have a good go at FT. So I stuck at it for a year and here we are.
What advice would you give to someone who wants to get into field target shooting?
Enjoy yourself and don’t pressure yourself into anything. Join a club because and learn as much as you can from other shooters.
Which is more challenging: the BFTA National Series or the Worlds?
The BFTA series is harder! You’ve got to shoot at the top of your game for 6 months. It also includes a lot of travelling and suspense in between shoots. In the Worlds you just turn up and shoot well for 3 days, if you win happy days. If you don’t you haven’t lost anything because you shouldn’t expect to win the Worlds.
What is your current set-up?
I use the Air Arms Evolution 2 in a custom stock with a Nshutz 4765 butthook and big Nikko 10-50×60 scope.

I meet Jack Harris at Worlds 2019 WFTF Championship in Birmingham England. What an awesome guy. He will hang out talking with you after matches about shooting and offer advice etc. He is fun to hang out with drinking a few pints of beer with also. He is a stand up guy, like most of the guys in our sport. He is a great ambassador of the sport and he represents Air Arms well. Air Arms makes a beautiful rifle and Claire West at Air Arms is top notch. The whole world including me is waiting for the new Air Arms XTI-50 to come out to the public, so we can have the best purpose built Field Target Rifle in the world. Jack and the boys from the UK and members of the Air Arms Team had say so in the design of the rifle, and when they recommended improvements to Air Arms, they gladly redesigned things. We cant wait. And good luck Jack beating Calps and Ian's records, you can do it. See you down the road one day...
