So just to be clear, each stage will be both shotgun and pistol correct.

[rstandley]

You are correct oh great one. Steel on some stages will have an option to be engaged with pistol, however the shotgun will be required to be used on at least one target. The pistol only option is their if you chose for all the stages only, the 2" steel may be a bit tough with pistol. :stunned:

Steel + shotgun = me with a smile

[Jcoop]

That's cause your a squib!

If you didn't get a chance to make it to this match you missed a good one.

 

Good weather, Great Stages, Lots of fun running and gunning!  Lots of reloading for THIS GUY who (feeling waves of nostalgia) decided the night before to run his old Scattergun Technologies 870 pump shotgun and a single-stack 1911! 

 

And Robert...., remind me of this chart next time and how using a cylinder bore on the Stage 5 far plates will double your overall match time!   :cry:

Tom W. had the same problem. Buck shot may be the fix.

Yup, Number 4 buck might do the trick next time!

 

I was so focused on the slug stage (where my old 870 shines) that I didn't even think about having any heavy shot with me for long plate shots.

 

What I should have done was safe the shotgun and then go full old-school Bullseye Shooter and take those plates with .45ACP.
