Tom, TJ and I decided to make fools of ourselves and enter an HFT match in PA.
I bought a set of sticks the night before the match, Tom made me an awesome bucket and we had an absolute blast!!!
Please check out the link for the match report. Most importantly......check out the ginzo wearing the GTA cap!!!

Wow...looks like a fun event Joe. Good looking lid you got there.
:)
sure wish I saw more of them on heads though.
You do any recruiting while there?
Need more folks showing GTA pride!!!
Thanks for sharing.

Hey Dave!! I had my sexy GTA shirt on underneath, but it was a bit chilly!!! Everyone there heard about the GTA!!!
If not for this nuthouse I never would have met all the friends I've made.....that just LOVE to spend all my money!!!
I will not miss an event in the future Dave......and all the participants will hear of this great place!!!
And I've been practicing with these infernal sticks!!!!!! Watch out!!!

That looked like a really nice course. Lots of tree shots in a great woodsy setting.
Really cool report, too. It's really nice to see the lengths, kz, troyer ratings and average distances.
So are you guys all hooked on HFT, now?

Totally addicted Mike!!!
Met a bunch of awesome people bro!!! One of the guys I shot with was 74 and he did the while course off hand with an LGV!!!
Great course and lotsa fun!!! There were pro shooters and noobies!!! Course was set up very well for both!!
I WILL be practicing all winter with my sticks!!!
;D ;D

That's cool. I'm hoping my sticks will arrive today. What kind do you have? I bought some from Walmart that were garbage.....then ended up ordering the BOG pod ones. I'm not sure if those will be good, either.
We got 9 inches of snow yesterday and now have sub zero temperatures......that may put a damper on things for me. I cant even see the Gamo targets in my yard anymore. It was 53 the day before....lol.

I did the same thing Mike!!! I bought a cheap set at Dicks that were a total waste!!
I spoke with Scott and he told me to pick up a set of Primo's short sticks. I got them Saturday night for the Sunday shoot!! They are awesome!! Cost about $80 but worth every penny!!
I purposely got to the practice range early to try to hit something!!!
Practiced for half an hour and wound up knocking down 35 of those buggers!!!
Great quality sticks that are easy to use.
We've been pretty lucky in NJ so far. 55 degrees yesterday with no wind!! Shot for about 5 hours straight!! I got a tri pod for my phone and made a few cool videos! What a child!!!
;D ;D
-
Cool......I'll have to keep the Primo's in mind if my new ones turn out to be junk, too.

I grew up in Maryland. Looks like PA to me. Here in Kalifornia we would have to get to the coastal range or maybe Scott's (Motorhead) property in the foothills to have a range this nice. Jealous

So glad you Jersey hooligans finally just went and got your feet wet in FT ... It is indeed SO MUCH FUN !!
had read the report within other thread and seen the pictures posted ... For a first time shoot was a darn nice lay out !!
Yea, shooting off a bucket with sticks is another discipline beyond bench / bag shooting, which is a GOOD THING making you a more rounded shooter a s personal reward. Good Stuff ;D
2014 can't get here soon enough, already missing our monthly shoots :P

Set up your range in the backyard.
I am on the way! ;)

It was awesome Quackster!!!!!!
You would have felt right at home bro!!!! There was a nice big pond right next to the course.....only bad thing was the skeet shooting over it all day!!!
-
Glad to hear you all had a good time! Hopefully I can make it up that way for a match next season and join you.

Great report! I was pleased that I could recognize a few of the shooters that have occasionally made their way south to the DIFTA course in Damascus, MD!
