USPSA Shotgun match on Sunday 10/28/2012 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 15-20 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:

Guns can only be uncased at the safe tables and must be carried unloaded with chamber flags in place. They may be carried vertically upward - OR - you can use a case. Regardless of carry method, all guns will be carried unloaded and with a chamber flag in place. Shotguns must be placed in the racks provided on each stage.

See you all on Sunday!
 
Can't wait! went to the 3-gun these guys had a couple of months ago and the shotgun parts were definately the best part. Extremely fun setup.
 
Thank you to all of the New Bedford team. Fun match, as always. Good challenges, but, not too tough for those getting their feet wet with action shotgun.
To those that didn't try it, you missed a good time!
Next month...rifle!
 
Thanks Dave! Match went incredibly smooth and with really fun stages. Already putting time in to see if I can make it to the Rifle Match. Should have some videos of myself, Dennis Doti, Shane Fungafat and Jar (Jeff?) Shortly. First time uploading to Youtube... pretty sure I should've compressed these.

There's more videos if you view them on Youtube and go to my list. The only videos I have uploaded to my account are the ones from today's match.
 
It was a fun match, thanks to the NB Crew for all the work they do all year round so we have a fun place to shoot. Can't wait for the rifle match.

-Cuz.
