The sitting cushion used for FT can be used in kneeling shots but under the knee as a knee cap. Here is a link for an interesting and informative article by Tim Finley that was published in the April edition of Target Shooter e-magazine.

Results for WHFTA - Championships 2009

The World Hunter Field Target Association (WHFTA) hosted the World Hunter Field Target Championships in 2009 on Sunday, 12 April and Monday, 13 April 2009. The first ever World Hunter Field Target Championship at Kelmarsh Country Fair in 2009 was a great success with a total of 253 shooters who took part in this two day event and hard work of the organisers.UKAHFT intends to make this event the largest & most popular airgun event in the UK. The 2009 event was purely an individual event but they may also include a team event in 2010. The plan is to run this event at the Kelmarsh Country Fair for a few years and if there is sufficient interest from outside the UK a WHFTA council consisting of one representative from each of the member countries will be formed. The WHFTA Council would then be responsible for selecting the WHFTA World Championship host country each year, each years hosting country would then have total control over the organization & running of their event.
