USPSA Shotgun @ New Bedford on 10/27/2013

[MAShooter]

USPSA Shotgun match on Sunday 10/27/2013 at the Rod & Gun Club of New Bedford.

5 Total stages of shotgun fun. 1 Stage of slugs (between 15-20 targets) and 4 stages that require the use of lead birdshot (each will have between 12-20 targets).

Shot size recommendations are: 7.5, 8, 8.5 or 9. Most will be using 7.5 and 8.

Approximate round count:
Slugs: 20
Shot: 75
You should always plan to bring more. It's recommended to bring twice as much as you think you'll need. It's easy to bring the extra home, but running out in the middle of a match isn't so much fun.

Not allowed: steel and tungsten shot, buck shot or BB shot of any size.

Targets:
Slug stage: traditional USPSA cardboard targets
Shot stages: steel poppers and plates, frangible targets (clays birds)

Three divisions:
OPEN
LIMITED
HEAVY METAL (12 Ga Pump)

Shotgun rules can be found here, under the Combined rules:

Can I bring an AR to Mass for competition? Is a precision rifle match? (I'm good either way.)

 

[MAShooter]

The match this Sunday is USPSA Shotgun (action shooting). The USPSA Rifle match we'll have in November is again, an action shooting event.

If it's mass compliant, yes, otherwise at your own risk.

Same thing with mags

Not sure what that means? No Cooper Tunnel? No running?

Just don't make me have to get knees on the ground. They don't bend as well at 55 as they did at 30

Thanks to the NB crew for putting on another great match. I know it's ton of work putting these matches on and it is appreciated. See you at the rifle match next month.

 

[Compulsion84]

Did any of the top 3 get videos of your runs? I'd like to see what you did different on the same courses I ran. I did well and finished 6th, but Chris and others still almost halved my times on a stage or two. I know I need to practice quick target transitions after the rambo stage 2.

 

[cpmconst]

Great match, I'm never disappointed when I come up. Compulsion84, yes I have all 5 of my stages and Scott has all 5 of his. Send me an email and I'll send u my vids.

3rd place guy here, luckily no video of me!
As my buddy dan said, I was dropping/throwing down shells like Hansel in "Hansel & Gretel".
This was my first match using quad loading.
The 1st and 2nd place guys are way ahead of me so stick with them.
I do have some predictions on what you will see in their vids,
-when not shooting or loading they move like they are on fire!
-their plan usually includes 1 to 2 extra shells in the gun at all times so they don't go dry.
- they either shoot on the move or minimize the number of stops tthey make to shoot.
- their muzzle never crosses the same target location more than once, ie no left right left right.
- they rarely miss because on extra reload is a stage killer.
sounds just like pistol shooting! Except maybe the time cost for going dry is greater!
