Hunter field target (HFT) is a target shooting sport derived from air gun hunting shooting disciplines. It is mainly an outdoor sport practiced with air rifles equipped with optical sights. The rifles have a maximum energy of 16.3 J (12.0 ft⋅lbf).
The hunter field target discipline can be defined as a traveling hunting simulation. A typical match consists of 30 to 40 targets placed at unknown distances to the shooter between 8 to 42 m (8.7 to 45.9 yd). Each target lane consists of a peg, as well as a metal knock-down target placed in a position to simulate a hunting scenario. The peg marks the point of fire, and while firing the shooter must touch the peg with either a part of their body or rifle. The time starts as soon as the shooter touches the peg.
During the match, shooters are not allowed to use supplementary technology, they may not adjust the zoom of the scope, adjust their scope turrets or use any other tools to detect the angle of the rifle and distance to the targets.There are 3 official shooting positions in the hunter field target:

Standing position.
