Target Shotgun Disciplines - Rules

freddieot

I have been thinking quite a lot recently about trying my hand at some form of Target Shotgun Shooting. I have a semi shotgun but it has been the least loved child as my 308 and the 40 have definitely been my main focus over the last few years. Time for a new direction perhaps.

I see that the NASRPC are holding competitions in these disciplines, at least they were during 2018.

GRM1TP1 ] M1 Gallery Rifle - T&P1[GRM1MT ] M1 Gallery Rifle - Multi Target
[TSGMTP1 ] Target Shotgun - Manual - T&P1
[TSGMMT ] Target Shotgun - Manual - Multi Target
[TSGMEMB ] Target Shotgun - Manual - Embassy Cup
[TSGSTP1 ] Target Shotgun - Semi - T&P1
[TSGSMT ] Target Shotgun - Semi - Multi Target
[TSGSEMB ] Target Shotgun - Semi - Embassy Cup

I have two questions (I) can someone give me the rules and requirements for each or any of these and (ii) where are the next major competitions being held so I can have a look see.

I know that a Restricted Semi or Pump is required. I'm soon changing my Shotgun anyway so I've considered that already.

All information helpful (extra costs - memberships, special shells, belt and loading systems, anything else to consider etc.)

Thanks

All NASRPC National comps are advertised here in Target shooting and their web site and face book site prior to them taking place and members of associated clubs receive email notification if they have provided mail details.

NASRPC

Only some ranges support Target Shotgun - so NASRPC can only offer Nationally graded competitive opportunities in those sports, when hosted by those ranges.

Lough Bo, Co Sligo
MTSC, Co. Limerick
An Riocht, Co. Kerry
MNSCI, Co. Offaly
Bracken, Co. Tyrone

As far as I remember

All of those have National matches scheduled in 2019, check out the NASRPC calendar for info on those.

NASRPC issue the match notice for all their events at least 2 weeks prior. To be notified of those you can subscribe to our mailing list, follow our facebook page or keep an eye on TargetShooting@boards

The clubs will also, no doubt, have club competitions, so get it contact with them directly, for information on those.

In terms of practice, if your own club doesn't facilitate it, then contact some of the clubs that do and ask. (Just bring biscuits!!)
