Browtine Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 I'm preparing for my first multi-gun match this weekend and had a question about paper targets in shotgun stages. Do slug targets usually require one or two hits and how are buckshot targets scored.......best two pellets? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Outsydlooknin75 Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 USPSA requires 2 slugs on target. Outlaw match ...... score it how you want. Our local match A zone is plus nothing, C is plus 1.5 seconds, and D is plus 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried that at a Match I ran once and its a mess to score and tears up targets fast. Pat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No taping necessary. Doug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benelli Chick Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 Some of the more International slanted matches (Trapr's plus others) do use buckshot on paper, and it is best 2 hits. But most good matches that do so will put wood on the back of the targets, or put them at far enough distance that it's just like shooting it with a pistol 9 times, and it tapes just fine! However, buckshot on headshots only can get messy! Denise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkCO Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 It depends on the Rules being used, or claimed to be used. To say there is a standard would be terribly misleading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corey Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 the KY state match had buckshot on paper, best 2 hits scored. targets were 25-30 yds. seemed to flow smoothly on our squad at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stlhead Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 I feel that there should be more use of buck in matches, our sport does have some roots in "practical" shooting and buck is a practical use of the shotgun. It adds another dimension to the ways to challenge the shooter on a stage. Plus it's fun to shoot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also have incorporated its use in the local MG matches. Buckshot on movers...now there is a new trick no-one has put in a major match yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doug H. Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 It was the buckshot no shoots that got a lot of people at the Pan Am. Shooting buck is a skill that most don't practice in the US. Doug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
