Shotgun sideshoot

[MRB]

For anyone who cares, birdshot only will be required for Sunday's sideshoot.

What kind of shotgun is needed for the side shoot?

What kind of shotgun is needed for the side shoot?

One that functions. We shoot both pump and auto classes, so whatever you have should be fine; it does need to hold at least 5 rounds total (I'll have 5 steel targets set up, as a general rule, if it takes more than 5 shots, you're wasting ammo at that point).

is it more of a tactical shotgun shoot? all i have is my 28" remington 1187. I'm down for shooting as much as a i can whenever i can but i dont want to get boo'd off of the course either!! It will hold 4+1 so i guess that would do it. Are reloads required during a string?

[MRB]

This match will not involve reloads, so 4+1 is fine, and even if it did require reloads, we'd all be in the same boat. Bring the durn thing out and shoot it!
71/2 or 8 shot will do-whatever is cheap and will run your gun. I use the Wally World stuff, myself.

well you talked me into it. i was just afraid everyone would be shooting 9 shot tactical models and i'd be left standing there with my **** in my hand. I had the shotgun out yesterday shooting a few clay birds. It reminded me how much i like shooting shotgun.

[MRB]

Welllllllll..............there will be a bunch of those out there, too, but who cares-run what you brung! There's no advantage to high cap on this kind of shoot.
