I spoke with 2 guys via email that are running a shotgun steel shoot on Nov 8th at OBRPC.

 

I have never shot competition style and I am very excited. I have a 12ga pump and proper eye and ear protection. Also have the proper ammo. I want to know what else to bring. I was going to use bolt bag or nail apron for shells. Should I bring a chair and food?

 

 

Thanks

Chair and food is always a good idea.  May want a thermos with a hot beverage or soup too!  James Heitz is a member here and a good friend of mine.  He may be along at some point to help answer your questions.  And there may be some shooters who might be able to loan you some equipment too.  OBRPC is a very friendly bunch!

Ammo holders - like a shell pouch or something you can pull the ammo through quickly.

 

Sunblock if it's relatively sunny.  Definitely hydration...

I'm not sure it is strictly a shotgun steel shoot. It may end up being more like a USPSA/3gun match but shotgun only. 

Ooh.... That sounds like fun..

Yah theres a guy with an orange colorado that works at Cheyenne that is a member there.

That would be Fred. Lots of us here are members at Old Bridge. 

We aren't involved in running these matches, that would be Melissa and Leo.  I am planning on shooting this, gonna be a blast.

Here is a copy of the email they sent out for the upcoming match on 11/8:

 

Dear Shooters:

 

Our next Knockdown Steel Match is going to be a tactical shotgun match. It will be much like a USPSA match shot with shotguns only. There will be movement on almost every stage. The round count for this match will be about 175 rounds of birdshot (8 or 7 1/2) and about 10 slugs.

 

There will be only three divisions for the match: Semiautomatic, Open and Pump.

 

If I can get stage descriptions early I will post them on www.oldbridgeknockdown.com ahead of time.

 

The match fees will be:

$15.00 for members

$25.00 for nonmembers

 

Due to extra setup we will start this match at 10:00 am instead of 9:00 am.

 

PLEASE PLEASE come to the range early to help us setup so we can start the match on time.
