Benelli Chick Posted August 7, 2016 Author Share Posted August 7, 2016 Am I reading the stage descriptions correctly and seeing that shotgun slings aren't mentioned? Another first timer question, is it prudent to bring some heavy hitting hunting loads or is that an edge case gamer thing? Our local matches restrict shotgun to low brass shells so I don't know anything about that aspect of shotgun. As far as I'm aware no sling on shotguns. As for "hard hitting" shotgun rounds, I guess you could use them but really your not saving yourself anything if you do. Most birdshot targets are angle iron, clays or poppers. You don't need anything heavy hitting. On the "different" target...bwahahahaha...Birdshot must be #6, Ounce and an eighth, 3 dram or smaller.

Silly little target on the bird stage...whole stage must be shot with #6, Ounce and an eighth, 3 dram or smaller.. So bringing big stuff completely unuseful!! :-) No turkey loads needed! :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Sierpina Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 Why must it be shot with #6 shot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike_pinto Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 I think the "or smaller" was the important part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Sierpina Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 Mike, You may be correct. I took it as smaller than 3 dram, not necessarily smaller than 6's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Sierpina Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 I do know Denise! She's my favorite match director. I shipped ammo out already to add to my "inventory" at my friend Jim Lambert's. I tossed 10 rounds of the ammo loosely described into my suitcase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kurtm Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 J.J. posted it as ROUND COUNT, and he is one of the match directors, but everyone is saying it is TARGET count. I can't find any place where it says Target count on the web, so I am confused! Anyone know for sure. I leave tomorrow morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like target count to me. Posted 18 June 2016 - 10:10 AM Target Count (Steel must fall/indicate to score - paper needs 1 A or B or 2 anywhere to avoid penalty) Stage 1 – 3-Gun – 12 birdshot, 15 rifle(350 yds), 15 pistol – rifle sling Stage 2 – Pistol/Rifle– 20 pistol, 20 rifle (paper and steel) 500 yds – rifle sling Stage 3 – Rifle – 25 steel (600 yds), 5 paper Stage 4 – 3-Gun – 6 slugs, 6 birdshot, 15 pistol, 12 rifle steel(250 yds) – rifle sling Stage 5 – Shotgun/Rifle – 8 slugs, 10 birdshot, 10 rifle paper, 12 rifle steel (400 yds) – rifle sling Stage 6 – Shotgun Bird Stage – 40 birdshot Stage 7 – Pistol – 25 pistol paper, 20 pistol steel Stage 8 – Pistol/Shotgun – 35 choice targets birdshot/pistol Stage 9 – 3-Gun – 15 rifle steel(250 yds) , 15 pistol steel, 6 slugs, 4 birdshot Rifle distances are farthest possible in that area. Most will be less than max distance. Pistol shots out to 50yds/60 yds max Slugs out to 100 yds or so max Rifle – 109 Pistol – 110 plus Stage 8 Birdshot – 72 plus stage 8 Slugs - 20 There may be small adjustments as we put the stages on the ground. Terrain changes in the rain...visibility etc. But this should be close...but be sure to bring MORE!!! You might miss one or two! Also, if you are signed up for the team shoot, the stage ALL teams will shoot will have 2 rifle shooters with about 15 rounds each, 1 pistol shooter with around 20, 1 shotgun shooter with about 15 birdshot, 6 slugs. You won't know who is shooting what until you get your mission brief. So, please plan accordingly! Check out http://rm3g.com/ for information and ALL our amazing sponsors.
