My first WB forum post sure started something. Glad I could help! 😎

I am leaning this way because I think too many eyes will glaze over after the safety briefing. Thank you, JC

Not ignoring the "live round in chamber" portion - it WILL be noted at the safety briefing. Was not aware of being able to leave a round on the carrier and one in the mag when staging for further use. That will also be noted. Thank you, JC

The scene: 4 KDs on stage right, 2 KDs on stage left. Pistol and rifle on stage left. Start at stage right shotgun in hands. ATB shoot the 4 KDs, move to stage left and make shotgun safe on table. Shoot pistol and rifle, then shoot last 2 KDs. Per shotgun range ops in shooter's handbook, safe to leave the shooter's hands: Hammer down on empty chamber or expended round, action closed (restaged for further use) If I've interpreted this correctly, the shotgun may be loaded with 6 rounds, shoot 4, leave action closed on expended round, move and make shotgun safe on table with 2 rounds still in magazine (staged for further use) OR, must only 4 be loaded for the initial engagement and the last 2 loaded off the body (or staged) when needed? This stage will be used for a match this coming Saturday and I want to do it right. Please advise and thanks for any help. Joe Cross
