The Rifle a ( PCP Air Rifle) Here is a picture on the left of a Typical Field target rifle. For Field target shooting we use air rifles which are less than 12 ft lbs. And usually of a 0.177 calibre. This calibre is used because it has the flattest trajectory over the longest range we shoot which is 55 yards.

The Scope’s we use Field Target shooting we use a powerful rifle scope to range find the target. This means you can use a calibrated range wheel on the scope to determine distances, once the distance is accurately estimated the pellet drop at that distance can be dialied in on the top scope turret which will give the shooter the correct point of aim. |
