NEFTA CLASSIC 2008 :: Pontefract Air Rifle Club 3rd & 4th May, 2008

The NEFTA Classic is a major Field Target competition that attracts competitors from all round the UK. The Classic has been running since 1991 to a tried and tested format. A two day event where competitors shoot a combination of 40 knockdown and 40 American silhouette targets. The latter is a demanding style of shooting that is relatively unusual in the UK outside the NEFTA region. Banks of five targets are shot from a standing position in sequence and against the clock. Each bank of five targets is shot twice. The targets consist of chickens set at twenty yards, pigs at thirty yards, turkeys at thirty six yards, and finally, rams at forty five yards. Extra spice is added to this discipline with the watching crowd as you shoot shoulder to shoulder with fellow competitors. Many excellent Field Target shooters struggle to adapt to what is quite a speciality event. Appropriately shaped badges are awarded for clearances of either all five targets in a bank or all ten in a round. Much more easily attainable is the "Classic Duck" awarded to the unfortunate competitor that manages to miss a complete bank of five targets. The Field Target section of the event is a forty target course set to the usual FT rules. As it was last year, the 2008 event will be ably hosted by the excellent Pontefract Air Rifle Club
