The name of the club is Long Island Field Target (L.I.F.T) started in 2008 we are a NRA insured club. The Airgun club was created by Cobra Airguns basically because there was a need for one. Field Target seemed like the logical choices and we have add Air pistol, Air Rifle silhouette and 10-Meter Air Pistol. You can find information on each competition under airgun competitions

Our field target shooting course has ten lanes three field targets per lane two shots for each field target. In each lane the targets are set at three distances target one is set out between 10-15 yards target two between 15-35 yards and the third target is between 35-55 yards.

This is an introduction to an air rifle competition called Field Target.
Field Target is a hunting simulation competition shot with air rifles.
The targets are silhouettes of animals that might be hunted with air rifles
(and some that you probably wouldn't!).

The competition is shot in the woods and fields in typical settings that a hunter might encounter while hunting. The targets have circular holes cut in the target face in an area that represents the "Kill Zone" of the particular animal. Behind the kill zone is a paddle. When a pellet passes through the kill zone and hits the paddle, the whole target falls over dead.

A hit anywhere else on the target leaves it standing. After a kill, the target is reset by pulling a string attached to the target. A kill scores one point, a miss scores 0.
