IDPA-type shotgun competition?

[John G]

Are there any IDPA style competitions which employ shotguns? It would be reasonable considering how many people use shotguns for home defense. Not everyone can afford/wait for a pistol permit.

some ranges that have action pistol matches will also have shotgun stages in them, West End Gun club in SoCa has these "2-gun" matches once a month, I think. Call around to the ranges near you. You may have to start your own.

Alas, I've yet to make an IDPA match after being a member for two years...Anyway

Last year, the Calif Police Summer Games had shotgun stages in both the individual & team portions of the Action Pistol competition. They were my saving grace (classification-wise) since I forgot what the chunk of metal sticking up from the front of pistol's slide was for.

An IDPA club is northern AZ does have shotguns on occaision.

Well, when I ran IPSC style matches here in Canada from 82 - 94 we had lots of shotgun matches and stages.

We put on a lot of 2 and 3 gun matches, jungle runs, etc. Some stages involved the use of individual firearms and some the use of multiple firearms over the course of the stage.

Great fun :)
