Single Shot Side Match And Rolling Blocks

[H. K. Uriah, SASS #74619]

 

Not too long ago, I suggested that a cool side match would be as follows...

2 shots from a single shot pistol, any caliber from .22 Short to .50-70.
2 shots from a single shot .22 rifle.
2 shots from a single shot rifle in a main match pistol caliber cartridge.
2 shots from a single shot rifle in a "rifle caliber" cartridge.

2 shots from a single shot shotgun.

Pistol could be optional, or done in "categories" with and without the pistol.

Would not it be cool to show up with these to shoot it?

 

From top to bottom....

 

12 Gauge

.45-70
.32 S&W
.22 RF
.22 LR

The pistol was my Dad's.

it sounds fun to do but it would take too long so most would get bored with the wait , you have a nice cadre of single shots tho , very nice ,

Howdy H.K.,

 

Does sound like fun, but I kind of agree with Watab. On the other hand, for many of us it would be a good excuse to comb the used gun racks to fill out our arsenal.

Now, you see, there is one of the main reasons for ideas like this! 

 

More guns used in more ways equals more shooting equals more fun.

And it's only 10 shots.   And not at all long range.  So it won't take all that long.  

The more combinations you can come up with for side matches, the more fun with more stuff you can have.
