Weston Park, Shropshire - Saturday 18th & Sunday 19th September 2021
UKAHFT Series/WHFTA Update - 29.03.2021
After a largely competition free 2020 but with the beginning of a vaccine roll out, we have a light at the end of the HFT tunnel……
All indications are that the Championships will be able to go ahead in September at Weston Park and as previously explained everyone who booked in for the 2020 WHFTC will have their entry transferred.
We are now considering what is possible regarding restarting the UKAHFT Nationals and while there is a degree of guesswork involved, we believe it is reasonable to schedule competitions from July 2021 onwards with 3 double headers, dates we are looking at are:
July 24th/25th MAD / MAD
August 21st/22nd Furnace / Nomads
October 23rd/24th Emley Moor / Emley Moor
For the rounds that are not taking place, shooters that have prepaid will be honoured for the 2022 series
If we are in the happy position of restarting earlier than July you can be assured we will look to do so!
For now watch this space and stay safe.

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.
