Hunter Field Target (HFT) accessories are crucial tools that can significantly enhance a shooter’s performance in this challenging airgun discipline. Unlike traditional Field Target, HFT places more emphasis on natural shooting positions and limits the use of certain aids, making the choice of accessories even more critical. At the heart of any HFT setup is a quality scope, typically with lower magnification ranges (10x to 12x) compared to FT scopes, featuring mil-dot or similar reticles for range estimation. Many competitors also opt for scope enhancers like butler creek caps with center holes for improved target clarity and light management.

Range finding accessories play a vital role in HFT, where shooters must estimate distances without the aid of adjustable parallax. Angle cosine indicators (ACIs) are popular among competitors, helping to calculate the true horizontal distance to targets on slopes. Lightweight, adjustable shooting jackets provide stability and comfort during extended matches, while still allowing for the quick position changes often required in HFT. Other essential accessories include compact bean bags or cushions for supported positions, durable rifle slings for ease of carrying between lanes, and weather meters for wind reading and humidity checks. Whether you’re new to HFT or looking to up your game, investing in quality accessories can make a significant difference in your shooting consistency and overall performance in this dynamic sport
