Pre Event Preperation We recommend that all WHFTA 2025 Competitors make themselves familiar with the latest WHFTA Rules, follow the link HERE. Honestly, so long as you understand the key safety points and the overall concept you will be fine, there will always be someone on hand to answer any questions you may have.
Next, we highly recommend that each Competitor checks their rifles on a good quality chronograph prior to attending WHFTA 2025. We will be chronographing every rifle on both days of the event. Any rifle that is found to be over the UK legal limit of 12ft/lbs (16j) will be disqualified from the competition. We do not want this to happen to anyone, we want everyone who starts the competition to successfully complete it. So, long story short please chronograph your rifles prior to attending, we cannot make the WHFTA chronograph available to Competitors prior to the event. Please do familiarise yourself with your shooting Group and the Session timings (discussed in more detail below) prior to attending. We really don’t want anyone missing their allotted session. Similarly, we don’t want everyone arriving way in advance of their session time.
