vaquero Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 I know that rules are rules, but what is the reasoning that you can't make up a knockdown shotgun target that doesn't go down? Some ranges have knockdowns in heavy sand, and I think you would need to use 00 buck to get reliable knockdowns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrison Joe Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 Cause rules are rules. ;) It's primarily to get folks to focus a little more during shotgun shooting, I believe. And to encourage loads above the wimpy-light SG loads used in Cowboy shooting - so something that is closer to factory loads. What the knockdown stands are sitting in really makes almost no difference in how hard it is to get a knockdown to fall. If you feel the targets are not properly calibrated to go down, take it up with the individual match director. After shooting major matches through the Southwest for 10+ years, I never have had a problem with a WB SG knockdown going down. Good luck, GJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Jack Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 Wild Bunch is a shooting competition. I think a better question is why does CAS allow you to make up misses??? No other shooting sport on the planet allows misses to be made up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vaquero Posted October 12, 2020 Author Share Posted October 12, 2020 Happy Jack, I disagree with you on your comment. In CAS you can make up a missed shotgun target, but you are on the clock, and your score is the time it takes you to get through a stage. In 3 gun, you shoot the shotgun targets until they go down, also you can shoot one shot on the paper targets, and you are good if in the "A" zone, or 2 shots to make sure your target is neutralized......all on the clock.

Happy Jack Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 I run 3gun shoots here on my range every month. There are basically 3 different 3gun sponsoring organizations. Rules are slightly different. 3gun is setup as an unlimited round count sport to push speed. Same as some other handgun sports. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vaquero Posted October 13, 2020 Author Share Posted October 13, 2020 Yes, 3 gun has an unlimited round count, but you still have to knock the targets down, or it is scored as a miss, unlike Wild Bunch if it doesn't go down...sorry move on.

Kid Rich Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 Pcc- shoot knockdowns until down, misses on static targets are scored as misses. kR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
