Title: Question of ignorance .... FTS pellet
Post by: Motorhead on February 28, 2013, 04:35:10 PM

Only thing I have found when folks use the acronym FTS is it being a Beeman Target Special pellet.

***Is this correct ?

Was always looking trying to make sense of this being accustomed too FTT being Field Target Trophy an H&N pellet  :o

Gotta ask ...

I think that's correct on both of those acronyms.

I thought the Beeman field target special and H&N Field target trophy were the same pellet, apparently not as they have different BC's listings

You are right though.
 FTS..Beeman Field target special
 FTT.. H&N Field target trophy

They are the same pellets.... BC means little if you don't know the velocity it was determined at....
