Whole bunch of Shotgun
I'd like to hear some thoughts on large count shotgun stages. I've shot them at some other clubs from 10 to 18 rounds. It does heat up that shotgun barrel.

I'll loan you one I don't use anymore. Scattergun don't be a party pooper. I figured I would get a rise out of you. <img src='http://www.goodguysposse.org/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rofl.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':rofl:' /> <img src='http://www.goodguysposse.org/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rofl.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':rofl:' />

I wouldn't go to 8 or 10 on each stage regularly because it beats up some folks more than others and I like to see smiles, not bruises!

I get the message! LOL<br />

One big shotgun stage before the year is over. I'll see if we can try this in November, same month we draw for the 73 rifle.<br />
<br />
How about, you bring a full box of shotgun shells to the line, and set that on the table, then you have to draw from the box---that would take care of the belt problem!<br />
<br />
Then, for our sweeps, we could have you shoot swingers(each side) then take down two poppers, back to swingers, back to poppers, back to swingers, than the last two poppers.<br />
<br />
Would that be comlicated enough Tooth? <img src='http://www.goodguysposse.org/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':D' />

Shotgun stages with lots of rounds are fun but keep in mind that at Bristol you do have a lot of lady shooters and the shotgun does play havoc on their shoulders. Maybe you could write the stage limiting the amount of rounds the ladies have to shoot. Also, take into consideration the junior shooters. Just food for thought.
<br />
The issue was would a large amount of shotgun be a problem for their shoulder. I'm sure it would. <br />
<br />
<br />
Also, Tex you write it I'll shoot it. I may not shoot it correct and getting a procedual is not something new to me. I've had plenty and sure more on the way. Dast Dan theory is when you get older the marbles run out faster and I'm getting older. <img src='http://www.goodguysposse.org/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/crazy.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':crazy:' />

You will have some that may have some trouble physically, like my 12 yr daughter shooting a box of shells all at one time.<br />
<br />
I suggest that people have a choice of pulling shells from their belts or from a table. If people have a belt that holds 20 shells let them use it. Sound like we can find enough extra belts for people that want to use belts.
<br />
So let's go Tex and make a big shotgun stage. We've never had to discuss in the past whether to have a shotgun stage or not. If you want one then go for it!<br />
