- Welcome to Team Wild TV's informative seven part series on the WFTF World Field Target Championship of 2013, held in the beautiful countryside of Ebern, Germany. Team Wild covered the championship at the end of August and now it's our goal to bring you full and detailed coverage of the entire event from start to finish. From the history of the sport to the playful banter between teams of shooters, for the next seven days we'll be bringing you a video per day giving you insight to the sport, the craftsmanship and the individual personalities that brought this championship to life.
On tonights episode we find out more about the history and rules of the sport, giving you an inside look at the shooters involved, a break down of the equipment they utilise and what exactly field target is.
Following John Costello, this years 2013 World Champion, Team Wild opens the doors to a rather niche sport and follows the emotions from the eager beginnings to the tense end. If you haven't had a chance to look into our earlier videos following the WFTF World Championship be sure to check out our playlist of our previous onsite coverage: tinyurl.com/odnrk6j

Thanks David. We aim to capture the whole mood of the sport with these shows. The camaraderie and social aspect of the sport is great!
Glad you enjoyed it...stay tuned for more.
You guys really hit the ball out of the park with this one, some GREAT footage here, as David said this is going to be perfect for promoting our sport.

Glad you liked it! Hopefully you are right Donovan.
Your English is fine!...Thank you for watching
great job on this guys!
Excellent video - this is going to be a great aid in marketing Field Target shooting! Thanks!!
NIce!! This is a well made video that will hopefully help us to recruit new shooters.
I used to shoot FT in the late 80s with markyate gun club, and we would take the whellam bus to shoots all over UK
Best memorie: shoot off with Richard North for a position in the welsh open we both shot and both hit our targets, Richard then said “ let’s stand” so we both shot at the knockdowns, and I won !!!!
I hope someday I can be there in FT Worlds... But here in Brazil everything is so difficult to get and so expensive. Maybe in 2018 I can go to the World`s.
Excellent video guys!
Yes, i think the Euro's are in the week long special
That video is pure awesome! I really wish we had some airgun groups here in Hawaii.
i'd be happy to do something like this on a rookie level :)
good guide. i see someone there with a springer. So those are also allowed? ta
you make sooooo coool videos....make more ;))
Is it possible to get this on DVD? It would be great to show as firearms safety courses and outdoor shows to raise interest in FT.
Yes, the springers have their own section.
When I say I love you know that it is in a manly way. Thanks
P.S. what was on Tool's pellet pouch? Looks like something made it through the editors.
will you be uploading any footage from the euros?
I have just bought my first PcP rifle a walther RM8 with a rotary pellet mag, are they allowed in FT ? has I noticed in the video dispite some really weird looking star wars gun designs that they were loading single pellets into the breach ??
e
brilliant :D
OMG ur so close reaching 70'000 sub's! ;) sorry for bad english, im from switzerland :D
so when is next champion ship in UK, i'd like to go... blesses Arek ta
3:50 Alan Rickman isn't dead - he's just into airgun field targetting now...
9/10 its the kit out performing the shooter!
Can I ask how using magnification, the shooters calculate the distance to a target????
Great videos.
Thanks and take care
The wheels on the side of the scope adjust the picture from blurry to clear, Once it's clear there will a yardage indicator on the wheel, i.e the closer the target the more blurry it will become. From there you can work out distance of targets.
Liam King Thanks Liam. Most kind of you.
Do that on high power^
Gooooo Canada! :)
Lets get him over to the next one and see...
I used to do FT when it first started up, using firstly a Weihrauch HW77 and then an Air Arms Shamal in those days we used scopes 9x mag maximum . However now it seems to be a case of the more money you spend on a gun the more chance you have of doing well.This is one of the reasons HFT was started but unfortunately its going the same way - you can see that by looking at the World Championship results - top shooters all mostly using Steyr or Walther and expensive scopes like Leupold amd Zeiss
what is HFT?
I perfere the "no limit competitions" :D More fun to shoot at 70-80 yrds :D
They sure are.
We know what you mean Ryan ;)
mag used to range 32 to 80 mag most around 50
45mm kill zones?! That's a lot larger than the 25mm targets I'm used to at h.f.t
I personally think that it should be a spot in 50 meters, only if you used eye sights only, and the killing zone was the size of an apple, that would be fair and challenging, don't you agree? Me personall, I am capable of a shot like that, so it really can be done, and I don't even go to tournaments like these.
Even allow shooting jacket., gloves. It's like 10m match already. Would anyone actually wear a shooting jacket and those huge gloves on a field hunt? Isn't field target supposed to be like hunting scenarios? This is ridiculous.
All that, but oddly no one is using a sling to stabilize.
Não vi a bandeira do Brasil !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Field target is basicly. Shooting overly capable and expensive air rifles 5.5mm at 50 meters maximum, witch is not hard to hit 4 cm kill zone. I can do that in CZ Slavia 631 all day. All u need is AO scope to to estimate range then adjust your drop witch you can easily memorize up to 50 meters.or make a range card like i have.You can also make range card for windage. after that its easy sailing. with 16 jules at 50 meters is gonna be 1 to 2 mildots max on an air rifle zeroed to 25-30M ..Its not hard i do it all the time.Its mostly about food and fun.Get a HW97 and your good to go for a start at a springer discipline.Or buy hatsan at44 10 tuned to 16 jules for PCP entry. Best rifle for 400€
+Gixxer983 , absolutely agree with what you say. They seem to be a load of fan boy yuppies now with too much money and a love of bling, a bit like many 'hobbies' nowadays.
how many world championships have you two geniuses won
@@katrinacrown4148
By now I think they've won loads of championship🤣🤣🤣🤣.
Whether it's FT, HFT, benchrest or whatever, I love reading comments like these, if it's that easy ect just go out and do it, win some silverware/titles and win money/prizes....... strangely that never happens 😁.
@@katrinacrown4148 😂😂😂 Armchair FT champions!
Well done you...... 🙄
We run championships all year, check out thebfta dot net or shooting-the-breeze
”pneumatic air rifles” - as opposed to... hydraulic *air* rifles?
As opposed to spring. Pneumatic air rifles carry air under pressure before shooting, springers store energy in a spring and expend it in something like a bellows.
What a load of poncing about to shoot something at 55 yards max. I just can't see how anyone can miss at that range, unless there's a storm blowing or earthquake raging, strewth.
Air guns have different accuracy levels when compared to real guns. Especially sprinters (pcp is more accurate) small game hunting is done at 30- 80 yards
And they're aiming at a kill zone that's 12-55 millimeters!!!! That's it!
Give it a go...... You'll be surprised :-)
to much technology for my stile of shooting. I like to see skilled shooter without high magnification scopes and ugly wests.
LOL i bet they shoot a lot better than you, even if you use their rifles. Wearing a Superman suit does not make you Superman.
to unpractical for me
I will never consider a competition with sub 12fpe a premier competition. Get all the sophistication you want. All it is, is putting a blower on your kids tricycle. Your adults, right?
Your only one step away from glorifying a straw and spit ball competition, when Mommy says that is all you can have. You know who your Mommy is. She took your guns away, and you are showing how cool that is. Sorry. You can't defend yourselves, and that is not right.
No one cares what you think ... 😂
