Frequently Asked Questions

What are the primary objectives of Stage 3 in the 2-Gun Shotgun/Pistol match?

Stage 3 requires shooters to first engage distant rifle steel silhouette targets (100-yard) using only slugs from behind a window. After hitting all steel, they must then engage a spinner target from designated shooting boxes using specific ammunition types.

What are the penalties for failing to meet the stage objectives in this competition?

Penalties include a 35-second penalty for each rifle steel plate not hit with a slug, and a 60-second penalty for not fully spinning the spinner target. Firing a slug from the second box designated for birdshot/buckshot/pistol results in a stage disqualification (DQ).

Why might birdshot be ineffective for spinning a heavy spinner target?

Birdshot pellets have low individual energy and spread out, often lacking the concentrated force needed to overcome the inertia of a heavy spinner target like the MGM spinner, especially compared to slugs or buckshot.

What caused Karl Kasarda's shotgun malfunction during the competition?

Karl experienced a feeding issue with his Saiga-12 shotgun, which was later identified as being caused by a deformed slug round that caused the magazine follower to stick, preventing proper feeding.
