Merry Christmas everyone, Maybe I can explain a little about the the Shotgun match, we are having two divisions Auto and Pump Action. Call me old fashion but I still belive there is a place for pump guns in the game. The rules are simple: USPSA Safety rules apply, shoot any shotgun you like,12, 20, 410 any barrel length but you cannot use optics or speed loaders and you can load no more than nine. I think we can all come to the agreement that the shooter that loads the fastes wins the game with shotguns. The only penalties you can get are Miss, FTE, Foot Faults, or not following the course as directed all penaties are 10 seconds. Targets will be light steel and clay birds, we will have pidgon flippers and flying birds that are activated by either poppers or pressure plates. You will not incur a miss penalty on a disappeering bird, you will receive a bonus of 2,5 seconds for every disappering bird you break The match will be scored time + penalties. Due to the availability of a berm that may or may not be there, there are 18 slugs that may be shot. We are going to do a shotgun speed shoot as well, payback by lewis after the match is over. The squads are set to run the stages in 2 hour blocks so we can keep a minimum of people on the property at any one time . I am clearing land, building berms and building my retirement home there. I do know USPSA I was the Founder of the Clear Creek Practical Shooters and Co-Founder with Joe Turek of the Mile High Showdown. I have been President of Boulder IPSC and Match Director for the 1990 Colorado State IPSC Match at AGC. I also know that there is no place for 3 gun in IDPA, it just don't fit there. I am a supporter of D.R. Middlebrooks and his Tactical Shooting Association. I have been active in IDPA since its inception, but again I am supporting 3 gun as much as I can to keep us shooting any game. We are also raffling off a Benelli Comp Shotgun, a Springield XD and Leupold 3x9x40 scope. After expense proceeds are going to the Blackwater Memorial Fund, to assist families of Blackwater Staff killed in the war. Tickets are for sale at Personal Defenses and Handgun Safety Center in Raleigh NC, The Range, in Oxford NC or through the CTI webpage. I'm Sorry for the long post but I hope this takes care of some questions. Stay Safe, Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year Mike Oberman MD CTI 3 Gun
