Hi everyone,
I had a great time at the 3rd Elmer Fudd Hunter match on Saturday! And I would like to add that being it was a "sub 500fps" match, we should have this type of match every year going forward...
My opinion on this sub 500 match is that everyone can/would have a chance to see and feel what a FT match is all about. A fun time in the outdoors with whatever rifle/gun you have to play with and a great group of people to hang out with during the day!
We had targets set up out to approx 35 yards with kill zones of a min 1"... There should of been a large group of "Airgunners" with their Crosman 2289s, carbine 1377s, 1077s, Challengers, Quest 500s, Bakail 61s, MP512s, QB lovers, Gamo's, Diana 24s, like every NON-PAL rifle/gun that has been made so that we can just enjoy the outdoors with fellow airgunners, and the added bonus of good food at the end of it all... Not to mention that some would take home a medal to show off!
To the CAFTA Governors, I for one am in favor of another sub-500 Elmer Fudd Hunter's match!
Take care everyone,

You certainly make some good points
We did some talking about this sub-500fps shooting and it sure was a lot of fun. We discussed having a regular FT match with FT a Hunter Divisions. Certainly that way it would put the higher end guns in the FT divisions and allow a level playing field in the Hunter division. All the folks with the type of guns you mentioned could participate in a fun match. After the top three placing rifles in the match, that would no doubt shoot FT if it was available, there was a real variety of guns that performed quite well.
I am working on November 6th and will keep folks informed as the date gets closer. Maybe we can see what folks think when many of us get together at the Waterdown Show. For now I will be focusing on getting prepared for the US Nationals on the weekend after Thanksgiving.
