Product Description
The Falcon V1 1200 is a premium target cartridge manufactured in New Zealand, specifically designed to bridge the gap between light recoil training loads and high-velocity competition shells. As the name suggests, it is engineered to deliver a consistent muzzle velocity of 1200 feet per second (fps).
This velocity is considered the "sweet spot" for Trap and DTL (Down The Line) shooters, offering enough punch to reliably break targets at distance without the fatiguing recoil of faster 1300+ fps loads. It is easily identifiable on the range by its distinctive yellow top (hull/crimp area).
-
Optimised Velocity: At 1200 fps, it provides a perfect balance of pattern density and recoil management, making it suitable for long competition days where shooter fatigue is a factor.
-
New Zealand Made: Manufactured locally in New Zealand by Target Products (Falcon), ensuring the powder and primers are suited to local climatic conditions.
-
Plastic Wad: Utilises a high-quality plastic cup wad to protect the shot and ensure tight, consistent patterns.
-
Clean Burning: Loaded with clean-burning powders (typically Nobel-Vectan) to reduce barrel fouling and action residue in semi-automatic shotguns.
-
Versatility: While designed for Trap, the V1 1200 is also an excellent choice for Skeet or Sporting Clays where a moderate-speed cartridge is preferred.
