team tractor Posted April 28, 2018 Report Share Posted April 28, 2018 Well in 8 hours I’ll be taking a trip to my old field target club with my walther LGU .177 its been at least 5-6 years since I shot there and I’m nervous. ive been shooting out to 500 yards with the 243 but now the thought of 5-55 yards I’m really excited. ive yet to use my gun over 10 yards since buying it a year ago but I’ll see if I can still keep up .

winnie&bezza Posted April 29, 2018 Report Share Posted April 29, 2018 (edited) Good luck mate. Let me know how you get on and how the LGU performs please ? I haven’t shot HFT etc before Edited April 29, 2018 by winnie&bezza Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
team tractor Posted April 29, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2018 Well I managed 11 out of 30 but I hit the plates on them all. my scopes creeped so need to come off but I’m happy for guessing all the ranges 5-55 yards. The lgu was great but my scopes tat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruno22rf Posted April 29, 2018 Report Share Posted April 29, 2018 The LGU has a series of holes in the cylinder surely - you just need to pop an arrester pin thru the rear mount. IF you had bought a Prosport you wouldn't have any problems with harsh recoil now would you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't wait for a new club opening soon as I'll be going as much as I can. 2 minutes ago, bruno22rf said: The LGU has a series of holes in the cylinder surely - you just need to pop an arrester pin thru the rear mount.

I thought I’d used the pin in the chamber but I’ll know in a minute when I strip it. 30 minutes ago, Ttfjlc said: Main thing is you went out and had a go, I take it you enjoyed yourself?

I loved it but I started there 1999 ive had several mates pass away so the crowd is different and the kit ridiculous now . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad you enjoyed it, funny you should say about the kit, I was watching the FT worlds on youtube, with some of the gear they had, every shot they were tweaking something on the scopes, I was gobsmacked when some of them missed!

Mr.C Posted April 29, 2018 Report Share Posted April 29, 2018 The whole point of HFT is you don't need mega kit to compete. I'm currently using a £400 rifle with a scope I got chucked in with a hard case I bought off another forum. It's about having a go and enjoying yourself. Bit of banter and a coffee and burger. Im lucky enough to shoot with a couple of chaps way better than me and I learn stuff every week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s ft I’m on as that’s all it is at the local club. ive remembered why I moved on to c/f tho now . £400 for a knee rest . I competed seriously for a while but still shocked a few today considering my scope was hanging off 1 hour ago, Mice! said: sounds like a fun session ?

Not quite deep enough but they were catching . all the screws were loose I think I’d not set it up but I still surprised myself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruno22rf Posted April 29, 2018 Report Share Posted April 29, 2018 Normally have a pointed grub screw that screws down from the top of the mount - not quite sure from the picture what you are using there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a pin that knocks through but I’d set it to shallow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mice! Posted April 29, 2018 Report Share Posted April 29, 2018 £400 for a knee rest?? Are you having a giraffe. I've just spent twenty minutes waiting on a baby rat showing itself, spotted it when we got back in, put out some bread its in and quick as a flash, then the wife walks outside she said she forgot I was upstairs.

bruno22rf Posted May 1, 2018 Report Share Posted May 1, 2018 Jesus wept TT - you set it too shallow? Not only have you bought the wrong gun but your dexterity is so poor that I worry about you poking your eye out each time you brush your teeth..........
