[combatonline]

Very good this video. It shows various positions you can have in the FT.

11 people didnt listen

[lawgarabis]

BRILLIANT. instant accuracy!

[redryderbbguy]

got ma first buck w this! thks

[MrJackpoppy]

very nice gun picked one up the exact same model second hand a week ago in mint condition Falcon FN 19 Raptor 8 shot

[xxColtyxx]

I've tried those positions, but I have a hard time raising the rifle. My target was a little bit highter than me, and I could not bring the rifle that high withouth losing stabillity. I bring my legs so close to me that I feel like I'm gonna roll backwards....

Anyway the positions are good, as long as you are higher than the target.

[mrjogray]

I'm quite short with a fairly long rifle, I struggle with both positions! Lying on my stomach seems to be the only way that works. Annoyingly.

[Kazner123]

Thanks for the tips, is very helpful.

[bfgguns]

Thanks for this video. Helped me alot.

[CastAirLead]

I use that first position and am a very accurate shot. The second sat position just isnt realisitic for alot of people. You cant even see propley!

[MrSweetmore]

the sitting down 1 i did with out thinking but the army sed no and made me do it all shit the way they made me do it if using a large size round u would roly poly backwards couse u have no suport

[Paulius1981]

I hate to say it, but the only 'correct' way is the way that's most comfortable and easiest for you.

I shoot like the guy does at the start of this video (in the 'wrong' position) and it works perfectly for me.

[nickbownz]

@Paulius1981 Do you shoot field target though? field target requires an extreme amount of discipline to be successful. Hunting is one thing, but when it comes to serious competition, you need every bit of stability you can get.

[dodgingaces]

for the sitting posistions they work great....but my back gets pretty soar leaning in to see through the scope...now ive seen a variation a few times where instead of having both feet out like that they cross them, now ive tried that...my back feels alot better that way...a little wobly but what i want to know is it effective....is there any draw back.? im sort of a begeiner shooter and im not too sure about it.

[dodgingaces]

oo and uh i saw another variation im not to sure about....just like the cross legged one but the knee thats on the butt side of the gun is on the floor...with the back arm hanging

[AmokBR]

Brits shooting guns?

[painismyfriendpwn]

britsh love guns just in america firearms are soo easy to get hold of and cost alot less

[samGproductions]

Ive tried these positions they work well but by far the best thing to do is to throw a bipod on their.

[acrooney]

You can't use a bipod in Field Target. These are Field Target shooting positions

[sinine]

Dear Sir, thank you! This is a must-watch for pretty much everyone who want a proper, steady and solid stance. Tried this out with my rifles and I must say the improvement is noticeable.

[MuhsinTheMomin]

this is gold

[daimaesteg]

thats not a weihrauch its an early falcon

[Migs4000]

we'll everybody has thier own shooting positions....when i sit im completly hunged over almost curled into a ball lol...i have to hold the gun at about a 30 degrees slant in order to get steady in this position..hey but it works for me

[Migs4000]

why even use the knee position. it hurts so much! lol

[ascoughc]

because in field target some lanes you have to kneel

[Migs4000]

i was jking dude lol.....i mean kneeling is aslright once you get into postition, i just don't like doing it ^_^

WHO THUMBED DOWN ME :|

[Konstanz2233]

I tried the sitting position after I saw this. It really does work, it really stops the wobble compared to how he first did it. I could imagine FT / HFT being really awquard. I don't see how you don't know the range of the target, plus can get the shot into a tiny hole, a maximum size of 45mm, plus wind. I could imagine it being really enjoyable, & would love to try it out myself though, although it really marvels me.

[Konstanz2233]

LOl, I've just realised that 45mm is actually quite big, bigger than my gamo rat anyway. Any smaller than that, at different ranges & wind would be a problem :D

[muliesnwhitetail]

Excellent

[Number1RatMum]

Complete rubbish anybody in their right might would NOT shoot and would be killing animals humanely, but why kill them in the first place?

[Kamen6b]

Well thought out, and well written response. Did you actually watch the video?

Nice video, answered a few of the questions I had around shooting positions.

Thanks

[Futileporkscratching]

'FT shooting' stands for field target shooting. That's not hunting.

Very useful video. thanks for posting.

[smilesmcgee33]

to eat... its eating meat that made humans' brains as complex as they are...

[marcisgreatAA]

he dousn't tell that in the 2nd position it's hard to control recoil correction

[icsp2]

No recoil from a Falcon pcp air rifle.

[marcisgreatAA]

icsp2, always a bit, at least from pulling the trigger, but pcp action gives no recoil that right.

[Konstanz2233]

He says it's a great position to zero from too, but I use prone, a lot more steady & accurate.

[marcisgreatAA]

i always sit on a chair with my elbows on the table to zero from, just my back yard :P

[Konstanz2233]

I zero mine about every 2 weeks, on a nice day with no wind. If you clamp the rifle into a Black & Decker workbench, so when cocking the gun doesn't move. Fire at a piece of paper & look through the scope to see how far off the shot is, then alter the turrets. It's very accurate, bus this method is PCP only. Occasionally, I just do it prone in the field.

[Guerilla1337]

Nicely done, I like it.

[1simo93521]

This better intruction than Ive seen from some army instructers!

[cujomojo2007]

I thought the sitting position is the only one you can't use in field target competition. You need to have some part of your body touching the peg.

[100021861]

That's HFT, not FT.

[projoe33]

very helpful, thank you

[grannman]

That was excellent. Thanks!

[edeemcreedy]

I learnt alot of stuff from this guy and I think he makes it simpler than many other proffesional instructors

[Keith10284]

TD really knows his stuff & there was alot of good advice in that video. I'm a member of the airgunbbs of which he is the head administrator & I'd recommend it to anyone who enjoys shooting. I have alot of time for Terry Doe, he really knows his stuff & he isn't arrogant either which further reinforces his knowledge & expertise. A true professional.

[anavidhunter]

Well explained and makes some good points. Gr8 Vid!
