Breaking news!

Following the IDPA match this Saturday (around 2 p.m.) there will be a Shotgun Side Match. All proceeds from this side match will go directly to the Pistol Club's pit expansion fund. The bulldozer is already at work expanding Bay 1 in Pit 1. This improvement will open the possibilities for some great new stage designs. But earth moving is expensive, especially when rock in encountered. So we decided to see if we can raise a little extra money and have some fun at the same time.

Let's find out who is the best defensive shotgunner in Kentucky. Invite all your friends!

If you can't make the IDPA match, just show up by 2:00 p.m. to shoot the side match. If you want to participate but don't have a suitable shotgun, just bring some factory-loaded shells and I am sure someone will lend you a shotgun to use.

Side match details:

Entry fee = $5 per entry; enter as many times as desired.

Nine shots required. Shot size must be no larger than #6. Bird shot will be fine.

Targets will be the Texas Star and 4 Pepper Poppers. They may be engaged in any order.

There will be a division for any shotgun you may have. Competitor may start with a maximum of 5 shells loaded. Reloads may be performed as desired or needed after the start signal. Reloads may be stowed anywhere desired, but may not be in either hand while firing.

Start position will be: muzzle pointed downrange, safety on, finger out of the trigger-guard, butt of the shotgun touching the shooter's belt..

Prizes will be bragging rights and the knowledge that you are directly helping improve our shooting facility.

There will be 5 categories recognized in the results posting:

Open = any shotgun, any accessory, any sights, any gauge. This is the only division that may use electronic or optical sights, compensators or speed-loaders.
