H&N Cup UK

[chn68b]

I had a delivery of quite a few tins of H&Ns in .177 and .22 only last week, they're great quality too. Great to see them giving back to the community.

 

[Mrs. H]

I think its fantastic to see any manafacturer actively engaging with and sponsoring an event like this in the UK; thank you H&N for doing this!

 

[Thirteen]

100 correct, it certainly is a first for the UK , the best way to thank H&N is buy their products and support the H&N Cup UK to help it grow

[SlugFest]

Brilliant stuff.
I've been an avid H&N pellet user for 40 years plus now. My favourite manufacturer by a mile.

You'll be made very welcome buddy, the entry form is online and it's strictly 200 shooters on a first come first served basis

A question if I can... this will be my first ever foray into FT, so I can blunder in naively and just use my usual HFT rig with the addition of a teeny tiny cushion, or I can properly embrace the whole discipline and try this range-finding parallax malarky. Trouble is I don't think any of my existing scopes are going to have a high enough magnification. So, my question to those who shoot FT: whats the minimum mag you could reasonably use? It'll give me an idea what to look out for.

there isnt one we have HFT boys shooting FT in wales you can still bracket and use what ever range finding you currently use and you can move the PA to help se the target it just meens you need to put some work in learning them extra 10 yards

As Doz said you can bracket as we still use pretty standard targets not designed to eliminate bracketing, any target beyond 35 mtrs will be a 40 mm kill zone, if you want to properly range find via parallaxing the higher mag the better to a maximum of 60 mag id say.

Big Nikko now acquired
My HFT scope is a Viper which is lovely, but the parallax marks are fanciful at best; to be clear at 25yds its set just below 40. And you're right, its those extra 10 yds which are going to be the issue with the extra inches drop involved.

 

[Thirteen]

Yes I guess range finding is specific to your scope and eye, you can still bracket if you don't want to change your a IOW

For those who havent seen the updates on facebook, the entry price has changed and the closing date has been extended.
Ive entered the open class in the hope I'm actually able to shoot come the end of may

 

[Thirteen]

Thanks Iain, let's hope so buddy

 

[Ganton Gunner]

Well I’ve just booked in so I will be there

... and the 'H&N cup' was what you put the pellets in, after opening the tin?
