Yes, pictures and a story in FS. Robin Taylor covered the match and will tell all. I was happy with 36 for a first event but with you and actionshooter next year (with friends of course) we will make it a real match! FYI TD Tri Cities is having a 3 gun this Sunday.

A little info on the Practical Shotgun Challenge. 7 stages; 4 field courses and 2 speed shoots and a standard exersise. 136 rounds of shot and 14 slugs minimum to complete. 36 shooters; 4 pump, 9 open and the balance limited class. ISP Trooper David Neth shot a nearly flawless (he was great to watch) match and won Limited overall. (he also was HOA combined!) Shawn Carlock of Defensive Edge gunsmithing was 2nd Limited with Jim Wall 3rd. Adam Mcintosh and Carl Carbon placed 4th and 5th. In Open Robert Johnson won that match with Penn Weaver close behind and Lalo Landers in 3rd. I shot a couple of stages but spent my time with a camera and taking care of the match. The slug "El Prez" was cool to watch. We have all shot a hundred of those over the years but running it with slugs was something else again. We had a 26 round house clearing stage with 2 slugs to start. Shotgun alley was a 29 round run and gun with a pair of clays. We ran a version of the classifier "gauntlet" as well as a stage from the Texas Limited championships "mini gun broke". I heard a lot of positive comments from the shooters (I have selective hearing) some of which traveled 300+ MILES to come play. I think I will run it again next year. Pat

Patrick, Can you recall any particular course of fire you would like to see again or one that could be used as a classifier? That is if we had an applicable classification system. Looking for a speed shoot 12 plus rounds. What say you?

Hello all, I have been lurking on this site for a few weeks. It is filled with good info from some of the best in the game. It is a pleasure to join you. I hope I can contribute. Please check out http://www.davesguns.com for an announcement for an All shotgun USPSA/IPSC match!!! We even have an all slug field course that requires 2 shots on all paper. Yes, double taps with slugs! heee haw.
