Field Target Podcast

Ken Hughes has been shooting field target since 1989. He's a two-time national champion, former AAFTA BOG member and chairman, Nationals host, GP host, match director, and a great ambassador for field target. In this wide-ranging interview Ken talks about his involvement with the sport, his guns over the years, friends he has made, and lessons he has learned.

In this episode of the podcast I interview three time national champion Scott Hull on his tips for setting up a scope on a Hunter Division rifle. Scott talks about his favorite scope, mill dots, using ballistic programs, and bracketing. Scott is an engineer by training and he brings his approach to setup and figuring out a reliable way to range with the limitations of a 12x scope.

In this episode Scott Hull, three time national champion, and I talk about the West Coast Piston Championship scheduled for August 19th and 20th near Morro Bay, California. Scott is the match director and is putting together another great piston shoot. This two-day, all piston rifle shoot, is unique in the U.S. and my hope would be to see similar piston shoots held around the country. For Registration: http://www.slsba.org/airgun/westcoast2017reg.htm Roster: http://www.slsba.org/airgun/WC-2017-entrants.htm Scott is allowing registration on arrival as well, but let him know ahead of time, if possible.

In episode 17 of the podcast I interview Garrett Kwakkestein of the Phoenix Airgun Club, host of the 2017 AAFTA U.S. Field Target Nationals. While the U.S. FT nationals are still more than seven months away, expect a few twists on the traditional nationals recipe along with a beautiful desert environment to shoot in this November. I will do a follow-up interview with Garett a month or so before the nationals.
