practical shotgun competitions?
I've really enjoyed shooting idpa with my handguns. I finally got a decent hd shotgun (mossberg 500). Is there any shotgun competition that is similar to idpa - practical, fun, appropriate for newbs who want just to learn and improve their skills? I've heard about IPSC shotgun comps but can't seem to find any close by (Atlanta). Ideas?
Thanks! |

So depending on where you live...
And what you wanted to do...
Since you have no location listed. And I would assume you are looking for something "competition"... 3-gun would be the best bet. Also note that some clubs (IDPA) will have side matches on different guns. Some may be a BUG (back up gun), shotgun and/or rifle. Not formally a part of the match but a fun side shoot... typically not scored. Just depends on your local club.

I added my location - Atlanta. As for what I want... I guess move and shoot training or competitions for hd weapons, especially shotguns. 3gun looks like a lot of fun, but I'm not aware of any regularly scheduled competitions around here.

so a starting point...
Here are several starting points for you.
1) IDPA http://idpa.com/clublist.asp?pick=GA 2) USPSA http://uspsa6.org/ Check out the ranges that the matches are held. Some may offer what you are looking for... either training or classes or practices... for HD shotgun. Here's one: http://georgiaipsc.com/index.php/201...ultigun-match/ Good luck!

Practical or action shotgun is a ton of fun. Unfortunately it takes a back seat to pistol and rifle competitions because nobody likes to reload shotguns. There is a big shotgun match in Minnesota this year. You should join us.
