Nice vid again and looks like you have a good 97 there .What is the cost of a tune up from sfs ?

[zini 1,939]

Thanks mate.

 

Yeah the rifle is as accurate as my r10 and HW100 s at that range.

 

Its £75 with postage mate.

 

As you can see from the results though its well worth it.

 

It makes a great gun a out of this world gun.

Awesome shooting Si. I sent my 1985 .22 HW77K to Dave Hall AKA B&C for a Full Monty Tune 8 months ago and still haven't got it back yet.. I'm now thinking I should have sent it to Tony

 

Some great shooting as usual buddy. If my rifle shoots as well as that when it comes back I'd be tempted to sell the HW100KT!

[StevoSmith 147]

Nice shooting as always Si mate........your gunna be some serious comp in HFT with that rifle mate thats for sure.......Ive said it before and i will say it again Tony has done a cracking job with the 97 mate

 

Will be nice to see some more spring rifle reviews on forum instead of the darkside pcp's lol

Bloody hell, that's not acceptable, I would be expecting it to be done for free after that long!

 

It makes SFS waiting time look much more appealing.

You're not wrong I hadn't heard of Tony before I sent it off unfortunately. I heard the B&C tunes were an equal to the VMach ones for less money. Dave had a very good reputation at the time too, been chasing it for months

Well si another top quality in depth, highly informative vid

 

As for 'camera pressure' you know you try be quick for the viewers.. so your more likely to slip up!

 

Just a quick question about your scope.. do you ever get lens flares in buildings?

Because i have ags elite tactical 3-9-40, hawke hd sport 3-9-40, and mtc mamba scb ir 4-16-50..

In the farmers shed that i shoot pigeons i get really bad flares with the ags and the mtc ( + 200 quid ) but the cheap 50quid hawke is absolutely bang on not a hint of flare... :/ ..although i havent tried the sunshade on the mtc yet..but then id have to take it on and off everytime i needed to put gun back into bag/slip.

No I don't get anything like that with the Hawke Panorama buddy.

 

The optics are spot on.

I'm thinking of ways to knobble you for the shooting next weekend. How strong is your stomach Si, i could lways get my wife to cook something for you lol. What about making you use 177 pellets in a 22 gun? Anything to give me a chance, make you shoot left handed?

hi Si

as your event organiser I forgot to tell you that you are unable to take part! but are allowed to Marshall,and watch

Marshall's can not take part in the comp and participate as a Marshall,as i am the supplier of the course I designate the marshal's the three marshal's are Zini,Pianoman,andyfr1968.

as I & chaz are the T.H.L H.F.T supplier of targets this exempts me & chaz from being a Marshall's,but in the rule book we are allowed to help set the course and take part,

 

 

UKHFT RULES 2012

 

 

(Note: Any affiliated clubs wishing to include the UKAHFT rules & format on their websites please only link to this page as this will ensure you have the current & up to date versions)

SAFETY

All shooting activities must be carried out in accordance with the UKAHFT rules.

Any air rifle is allowed as long as it complies with current legislation for airguns and has a power output less than 12 ft lbs, which can be subject to a random and/or compulsory chronograph test at each event.

Shooters must be over the age of 8 (9 or older) & not be banned from shooting under Section 21 of the Firearms Act.

All shooters must attend a safety briefing at each event to be held immediately before the session they are shooting in, any shooter not attending the briefing will not be permitted to shoot in that round.

When a single blast of a whistle or hooter is heard all shooting must immediately stop. Shooters must discharge their rifles into the ground, away from the target, at a safe distance. Targets must NOT be sighted or the gun shouldered during a cease fire.

Upon hearing two blasts of the whistle or hooter firing may re-commence after you have visually checked it is safe to do so, only marshals are allowed to halt or commence firing marshals can not take part in the comp its self as a shooter.

Guns will only be sighted, shouldered or discharged over a recognized firing line, this does not mean the car park. Guns will always be kept un-loaded & un-cocked when not in use.

Rifles must be cased or carried with the muzzle pointing down at all times when not in use, this includes rifles carried on a sling. Do not cock your rifle until you are ready to take aim. No gun should be cocked or loaded between lanes. Multi-shots must have the magazine removed, and be in a visibly safe condition. Every member of a group should ensure theirs & their shooting partner’s activities are carried out in a safe manner in accordance with UKAHFT rules, it is all our responsibilities to ensure we shoot safely. Failure to comply can result in expulsion from the event, ground & any future UKAHFT events.

NEVER rest the rifles muzzle on your foot. When getting down or up from a prone shots always be aware of where your rifle muzzle is pointing, it should remain pointing down or down-range at all times, ask you shooting partner for their assistance in handing, or taking, your rifle from you if you find it difficult getting up or down safely

If you are approached by a marshal for any reason i.e. shooting technique or safety please do as they have asked as remember they are there to make sure the course is shot fairly and most of all safely. In the case of a dispute, the Chief Marshall can be called, and their decision is final.

No persons other than the shooters that are taking part in that session will be permitted on the course, with the exception of marshals, organisers, press photographers and VIP guests (who all must obtain and wear UKAHFT Hi-Vis vests prior to entering the shooting area, these can only be obtained from UKAHFT.

All Juniors must be under the direct supervision their parent/guardian on the day. Juniors not taking part in the competition will not be permitted to enter any of t
