Tequila Shooter Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 I'm going to my first state championship match this weekend and wondered how many shotgun shells should I bring for a 3 day shoot. I load my own and I'd prefer not to have to buy any. Thanks for the help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal Hangtree Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 If you shoot as well as I do, Tequila, pack 3 times as many as the course of fire calls for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Three Foot Johnson Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 Take plenty - six per stage, then double it to account for side matches. Triple it if you're going to shoot a Wild Bunch match. A case or two of shotshells doesn't take up much extra room in the trunk or bed of the truck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheyenne Culpepper 32827 Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 it's a ten stage match,,, figure 2 boxes for main match, without misses,,,, 3 boxes will do for that,, and then add side match and warm up stages,,,I'm taking 6 boxes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Bill Burt Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 The website says 50 per shooter. We're bringing four shooters so I plan on a case + 2 just to be sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cassalong Hopidy Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 Some good advice above, Tequila. There are 43 shotgun knockdowns plus a flyer (with makeup opportunity) and quite a few rifle/pistol knockdowns that can be made up, so . . . . There are 4 warmup stages, and Speed Shotgun with 6 targets which you can shoot as many times as you like. And that's not counting Wild Bunch. I wouldn't worry about bringing too many shotshells. Taking a few boxes home won't hurt anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
