HSC IDPA 7/23/11 and SHOTGUN SIDE STAGE

[Gammon]

I've only shot a shotgun match a couple times, but, you'll need a shotgun, shells, shell holding device for reloads. A shotgun with choke tubes is preferred, since a Texas Star is included in the stage.

Chokes? It would be a good idea to warn the shooters with the short barrel cylinder bore (slug) guns that they might not be competitive. I have RO'd matches where this problem arose; there were a lot of unhappy campers.

But an 18" cylinder bore shotgun is Tacticoool!

 

[KenL]

This sounds fun, can't wait to go.

 

[M1911]

Any info available on the approximate distances we should pattern our shotguns at?

 

[Supermoto]

I would know where you shotgun hits and what it will knock down from 10,15,20,25 yards
I assume the texas star would be at 10 yards, so I would run a Light modified, 15 yards a Mod, after that a full

 

[Dan S]

JAR,
What choke are you going to use??

 

[M1911]

And, of course, my 870 chokes and choke wrench have gone missing...

 

[BigDaddyAl]

Wish I could make it, but I'll be attending a match that day here on my vacation in Utah. Does this mean I'm seriously hooked when I bring my gear with me on vacation?

 

[WeedWhacker]

Just a reminder to all... It looks like it will be a HOT one Saturday. Pack some water in those range bags.

Limited water will be available in the clubhouse for a donation, as well as around noonish for lunch for a fee.

 

[jar]

JAR,
What choke are you going to use??

Modified, because I don't have a light modified. I'm still shooting my cheapo 500. Hoping Mossberg gets the Benny/Jerry 930 model out soon.

I'll be making my CDP debut at this match with the single stack I just got for my birthday. We'll see how that goes.

No it doesn't, but... if you chose Utah for a vacation spot because you could bring your gun there then that would be another story!

 

[Lugnut]

Short distances and clays... I may do IC and see what happens.

 

[Hanwei]

Dang it... I can't make it to this match. You guys have fun and stay cool! I'll see you guys next weekend though.

 

[DrNVP]

am I going to be able to hit anything with an 18" cylinder bore?

 

[M1911]

I think you and I will find out

That would depend on what brand of Texas Star was purchased! MGM has a tendancy to need a bit more oomf to take the plates off. Depends on the distance to the star.

There's always high-brass #6.

I think it will be about 10 yds.

 

[M1911]

Cylinder worked fine with my 18+ inch barrel.

 

[KenL]

Great match Today! Loved the side match. Thanks to all that helped make this happen.

 

[csp02301]

awsome match, another great job by MWT, and extra thanks to AAron for the shotgun use. I think the shells came from Tim...big thanks. Good thing it wasnt hot today.

 

[FSTC]

Great Job by all! Nice shootin' Squad 2....and Cuddles thanks you too.

 

[NBPD3682]

Scores are ready... I am having technical difficulties with the side match scoresheet and have emailed it to the MWT staff, hopefully someone can come up with a fix soon.

OK, I have the side results now but I can't upload a PDF due to size limitations on NES. Hopefully you can read this JPEG of the scoresheet.

 

[KenL]

Excellent work John. If no one else has said it before, we really appeciate you doing the scores and getting such a quick turn around on this.

Thank you Aaron and Tim for the use of the shotgun and the shells.

also, holy crap we got a lot of fine shooters in the SSP/EX class. I really need to step up my game.

 

[Lugnut]

+ 1 to what Ken said. Was a hot day but had a fun squad. What appeared to be a pretty easy to shoot match didn't seem so easy... I may toss the handguns and focus on shot guns! LOL

Thanks to Tim and the staff- I know you guys put in a lot of work on this one.

Where are the shotgun results? Lugnut was crowing on how good he did.

Come on Dan! I wasn't "crowing"! On the contrary... I was saying that I did miserable compared to my shotgun stage.

I guess I misunderstood.

 

[Lugnut]

I guess I misunderstood.

In retrospect... my response seemed harsh... damn internet doesn't get my humor... I should use more smilies.

 

[timmay]

I would like to thank John for getting the scoring up his usual fast fashion. I would also like to thank everyone else for helping out. IDPA is a volunteer run sport, and this match was a great example of how that works. It was a hot day, and everyone kept their cool.

The only thing I have heard that even comes close to a complaint, are the people who are wondering how Dave had a 12 second run in SG (actually 19+)...
