At Kraaifontein Sport Shooting Club we shoot HFT (Hunter Field Target) and have members who have competed internationally. HFT challenges your skill and accuracy where knowing your rifle is your advantage as a shooter must compensate for weather conditions as well as distance.

Drop-down targets are placed at distances between 8 and 40 meters with kill zones ranging between 40 mm and 15mm. The target is a silhouette of well-known characters and vermin with the kill zone in the middle and a paddle behind the kill zone. The goal is for the pellet to hit the paddle causing the silhouette to fall over to score points. The target can then be reset by pulling the rope from each target.

Any Springer or Pre-charged Pneumatic Air Rifle can be used provided the rifle’s power is set within the prescribed limits.

HFT is a great way for fathers to teach their children about shooting and handling a gun safely also to teach them the skill of shooting.
