Emley Moor - Saturday 18th & Sunday 19th September 2021
WHFTA 2021 update
We have learnt that the Countryside Rocks Show that was to host our 2021 WHFTA competition at Weston Park has now been cancelled and has rebooked Weston Park for 2022. We cannot therefore run the WHFTA round this year at Weston Park. We will be returning to Weston Park in September 2022.
We will however be running a WHFTA event entitled the WHFTA 2021 British Open at Emley Moor FTC over the same weekend 18th and 19th September 2021. This will be run exactly like previous WHFTA events; with 2 courses shot over the 2 days, with a maximum of 360 shooters. Already our good friends at Air Arms have confirmed that they will sponsor the event with prizes and something for each competitor, plus as we are now in a more certain position we hope to get more sponsors on board. As always there will also be cash prizes in the raffle.
For people who have yet to enter we will be open bookings in the very near future, so please keep your eyes peeled on our WHFTA Facebook page, Shooting the Breeze and on our website; whfta.org
If you had already booked 2020 tickets you have the option to transfer the booking to the 2021 British Open or if you are not planning to attend this you can transfer your entry to the WHFTA 2022 event at Weston Park. More details on how to do this will follow shortly.
Here at Team WHFTA we are very excited at the prospect of hosting another world class event. What we can promise you is that although the venue has changed we see this as an opportunity to bring some further advancements to our event, so watch this space! After a very difficult year it will be great to get out shoot some tin chickens and meet old friends!

World Hunter Field Target Association – cancellation of 2020 World Championship at Weston Park.
We regret to announce that we have had to make the decision to cancel this year’s Worlds at Weston Park.
While COVID-19 cases are still declining the virus will still be circulation in the general population for some time or until a vaccine is successfully developed.
If as seems likely we do see a second peak the government would quite possibly close down activities or regions with little or no advanced warning, we also have a significant number of potential competitors who are still shielding or in the at risk category, we do not intend to put these folk at any more risk than they might already be. By giving this length of notice people have time to make other arrangements for September and cancel hotel bookings.
Your booking for the 2020 WHFTA Worlds will be automatically transferred to the 2021 Worlds, as soon as we have confirmed dates in 2021 we will publish them, if anyone cannot make the new dates please notify Pete Sparkes.

Welcome to the whfta |
|
After 10 years at the Kelmarsh Game & Country Fair the WHFTA has found its new home. This year we return to Weston Park, venue of the newly branded "Our Countryside Rocks" and host to the World Hunter Field Target Championships.
The "Our Countryside Rocks" aspires to be one of the biggest shows in the shooting calendar. The World Hunter Field Target Championship arrives at Weston Park this coming September and is getting ready to welcome 360 competitors from over 10 different countries as they battle it out for the 2020 title.
The WHFTA is the biggest eevnt in the HFT shooting calendar and with many of the major manufacturers also in attendance, there’s plenty of things to see and do for both enthusiasts and those new to air gunning. As ever, the championship will consist of both the Manufacturer Team Championship and International Team Championship, and here spectators will be able to watch all the action unfold as marksmen battle it out for this year’s title.
Renowned as the largest air HFT competition of its kind, the hugely popular event returns in September, and settles back in perfectly amid all of the other air gunning activity and sporting competition the fair has already lined up.
As the annual meeting place for the airgun community, the Fair has always stayed loyal to its roots, and now with the addition of the World Hunter Field Target Championship, and of course the European Field Target Championship which is also taking place over the same weekend, the "Our Countryside Rocks" undoubtedly aspires to be the number one event of choice for enthusiasts and the wider air gunning shooting community.
A timed favourite with many of the Field Target community, competitors in both the ‘Worlds’ and the ‘Euros’ are always happy to show off their rifles and discuss the sport with visitors alike and is a great opportunity for enthusiasts to see first-hand some of the most sophisticated airguns and equipment in the sport.
