Thanks for the reply. I contacted the Phoenix Airgun Club and was told they don't have pistol matches due to lack of interest. I could shoot rifle with the 1720t as a carbine. My plan is to just show up and shoot whatever I can.

Thats a great start.
While a pistol for likely 1/3 of targets will be out beyond 35 yards, you will get a good taste of FT seeing how the games played and tools used in doing it.

1st rule of FT .... HAVE FUN !!

After much experimenting I decided to shoot it as a carbine. I was never much of a pistol shot anyways (left handed and right eye dominant). I thought the pistol matches would have a level playing field as the 1720t is the most used pistol and I wouldn't be up against Steyr rifles and Sightron scopes. Oh well. I know some say it's all about having fun, but it is a competition.

Bringing a knife to a gun fight is not competition ... its an elimination !!

Until near equally experienced & equipped ... you learn while they make the higher scores !
It really is just that simple.

The good thing is, that the targets are pretty big. And you don't have to hit it right in the center.

I bought one of the Crosman resetting squirrels. I guess it's pretty much regulation size, I think.
Not too hard to hit out to 40 yards. But after that I must be losing a lot of speed, because drop and wind start making it very difficult.

I heard of guys using 12 fpe guns. But that's a tough shot at 55 yards with a good breeze blowing.

Most clubs that use GAMO targets also fit the reducers .... Other manufacturers target will run 1/2" to 1 1/2" more commonly.  a FULL SIZE GAMO is very easy to modest for an experienced FT shooter clear out to 55 yards.

39M:
Thanks for the info.

I think the Crosman is about 1.5".

I'll check out the Gamo.
