Important Notice Regarding Ammunition
Important Notice Regarding Ammunition
“Pellets that are completely made of lead, lead alloy, zinc, zinc alloy, or similar all-metal material may be used. Airgun slugs may not be used.”
- AAFTA Official Field Target Rules Handbook (link), pg. 5, "Ammunition"
No slugs of any caliber are allowed to be used in SVFTC matches
Even though pellets splatter, they do still beat up targets. Slugs, due to their more solid body shape, do not splatter, which makes them even more damaging to the targets. This leads to face plates denting as well as excessive strike paddle damages that could require repair.
This ban on using slugs in field target matches applies to all SVFTC field target matches and will be enforced as deemed fair by the acting Club Match Director of any SVFTC event.
About Us
About Us
The Sacramento Valley Airgun Club is a group of Northern California airgun enthusiasts promoting airgunning as a sport. The main events of the club are field target matches that are held monthly from March to November.
Scott Schneider, our gracious host for the club, does a masterful job of keeping us happy – the targets may not always be the easiest to hit, but it's always a fun time!
If you’re interested in participating or would just like to learn more, drop by during a match. Our schedule for 2025 can be seen in the Match Schedule page.
