    Ipsc shotgun

    Rumour has it theres going to be another ipsc shotgun match in new plymouth first weekend of may, yet to be confirmed though, may or may not be tied in with the 3-gun nats schedule depending on how the new section director wants to play it, may or may not be classed as an ipsc shotgun nats for NZ.

    Alot of ifs and maybes but not the point, what i want to know is, with the flood of these affordable box fed shotguns into the country and the poularity of ipsc shotgun starting to take off here (in my view) who would be interested in attending an ipsc only shotgun type of match on this forum?

    Depending on where and when I am always keen. I am actually losing interest in 3 gun due to the lack of matches especially in the south island.

    At prizegiving for the RCO they mentioned something about this match.

    I think the last SD had given up on 3gun a couple of years ago and is why the section is in dis-array. I think times are a changing and a more positive SD has been appointed, for the better too. But dont expect major changes until next year, this years calander is already cluttered and its a bit late to go changing stuff around, hes got some good ideas and he knows his shit so it can only get better, thankfully.

    Anyways, ipsc shotgun, most fun of the 3 guns involved in my view, anybody want a part of it? No point in letting those typhoons just be safe queens...

    If you wanted it to be available to more shooters, it would need to be more Non e cat friendly, so that the people that are on the forum that dont have an E endorsement could theoretically compete on an even paying field.
    Does that make sense?

    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.

    Yep colour me interested and I could muster an interested non forum member as well.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Thanks for the explanation, @Towely, so its not a forum event you're organising ( misread the OP ) but a general question as to who's interested in such an event.

    My shotgun will be otherwise engaged on the first weekend in May, but yeah I like the idea.

    Sorry to mislead, no its not a forum match, my bad!

    Im annoyed at the timing of it too, theres something else that i need to be doing first weekend of may might have to flip a coin.

    As far as i know its confirmed and will be our first ever shotgun nationals and will not be a part of the 3-gun nationals. Just waiting for the entry form to go up on the pnz site.
