Thank you Gary. I’m about to purchase my first Air Rifle and your series of ABC vids are priceless to me. You’ve convinced me that I should have a go at HFT and I intend to do so. I need to learn my scope (which I don’t have yet) first and get some shots in, but I certainly intend to give it a go. I am enjoying your vids, thank you.

Having started HFT the start of this year I’ve found your videos a great help. Maybe the follow up to this should be the prep before a shoot I.e. making a range card for your scope, checking zero etc. It’s probably the most important thing to get right.

I shoot at a range at least twice a week and have always wanted to try it but under the standard rules, I wouldn’t be able to do it. ☹️ This video will be referred to for years and years. 👏👏

Hi Gary, you have said that you aren’t the best at the Maths relating to riflescope adjustment. If you aren’t that good, how poor am I? So for a newbie just about to do spend his ‘hard earned’ on a new Hawke Sidewinder, I’m worried as I’m not sure whether I should be buying an Mrad or moa scope? It’s the 4 - 16 x 50 that I’m buying, am I doing wrong? Love your vids Gary, priceless! Thank you.

Thinking of returning to HFT in 2024 maybe after well over a decade out. Has much changed in that time. I used to shoot recoiling class, I was thinking of returning with a TX200HC. Although I could be tempted to go pcp. Time moves on and tech changes and develop. Scope choice is what stumps me at the moment, scope choice is critical to me. What are the top guns using these days?

I bought a .22 air arms pro sport other day. Beautiful rifle. It's got a hawk 4-12x50 scope I believe. Do I have a chance of actually hitting anything in an HFT competition? Cheers.

@combatwombat71 2 жыл бұрын

Absolutely. Just learn your aim marks for the various yardages. Your .22 will have much more of a pronounced trajectory than the usual flatter trajectory .177 rifles. But get good in .22, and there aren't as many competitors so your mantlepiece might fill up with trophies faster!

@jackiechan8840 2 жыл бұрын

@@combatwombat71 Thanks! Is there usually an opportunity to zero scope on a range before the competition starts? Or is that something which is expected to be done well before time? I don't have a garden unfortunately.

@combatwombat71 2 жыл бұрын

Yes, there's quite often a zero range. But you should always zero your scope somewhere else in order to set your aim points anyway. If you have it set to, say, a 23yd zero, there will often be a series of targets at a club where you can confirm your zero is correct before you start.

Hi, Uncle Gazza, out of interest here, why do you not opt use a higher quality scope like a Zeiss conquest 4-16 x 44, or maybe the Meopta MeoStar R1 4-16x44. Thanks

@Happy-Me. 2 жыл бұрын

The Optisan CP 10 x 32 is the business!

@garychillingworth 2 жыл бұрын

It's an interesting question. I have a Zeiss Conquest and it's amazing. The main reason is the CP is light and does everything I need. Also, I never swap mid season. Next year I'm going to look at the Zeiss, Vortex Viper and another scope which I can't speak about yet.

Just a thought for another amazing sexy video ... you mentioned filling out cards and getting any errors signed off by a marshal. How about a "How to fill out your card" topic. Prob considered a tad boring on its own, but could be included with something else. And as all organisers know, we're constantly having to remind people to fill out detail correctly, legibly and in full. And we have lots of new/newer competitors uncertain what each field on the card means. "IR"?? "Rifle"?? Just a simple guide - showing what's right and wrong - would be helpful. Whadaya reckon, sexy man? 😀
