Thread: Ipsc shotgun

We work to ipsc rules regarding this type of shoot and we are lucky enough in NZ (so far) that our firearms regulations allow us to be able to compete to the international standard. Yes you will need the E endorsment to take full advantage of it but you are at a far less disadvantage than being A cat only shooting service rifle.

The most popular division people would be shooting is standard division with a tube gun , the rules state you may only have 9 rounds loaded prior to the start signal. So if youre on A cat then you can chuck 7 in the tube and 1 in the chamber (on a chamber loaded start) by that definition youre only down 1 round against the E cat guys, if its chamber empty start you will be 2 rounds down. Theres not alot in it really. A competant shooter CAN hold their own in these conditions!

If youre shooting a box fed A cat gun then you will be 3 rounds down on the E cat guys. A VERY COMPETANT shooter can hold their own here too.

Most of the ipsc shotgun game is about loading the gun, regardless of tube or box fed. You would be surprised what a half decent A cat shooter could achieve if they have turned up to play and have a bit of skill

Anyways, this sort of shoot is a good introduction to the various ipsc sports and is a good lead into getting an endorsment but is playable without it. Everybody has a shotgun right? If this sort of thing interests you then heres your chance to give it a try.
