Is it allowed? Obviously it's not ideal. I just think it would be fun.

It would suck, any long range birdshot shot would be tough.  Reloading won't be fun.

Anything is allowed if you want.

I'd run a match just for fun. Hell, I'd specify that the match in strictly 80s action inspired.

Shockwave/Witness Protection shotgun
DA/SA pistol or service size revolver
Iron sight only rifle

Sockless boating shoes, t-shirt, and rolled up Armani suit coat with raybands required.

I thought it would be fun to shoot a match with an 18" 500 that I had cut down myself. with a stock mind you. but the open choke and distance meant I couldn't knock down any of the steal. I thought I was so cool showing up with this little gun but damn did I look like a dick when all I could do was dance steel around and not knock it over.

didn't do that again

I shot a practical shotgun match at this place last year with a 20" cylinder choked 590a1 without any problems hitting the farthest steel so that shouldn't be a problem.

Just the capacity I'll post videos

you would get spanked

Obviously not ideal with it's limited capacity. But yeah sure go for it man, have fun!! Might want to use it in the Heavy match where a pump shotgun is used and you're not competing with semi-auto's with extended magazines where you'd get spanked for sure.

I'm not a serious competitor. It's just for fun.

I only do local small matches with 20-60 shooters and still wind up in the top 25% shooting my 590a1. I load off side saddles (or my SOE micro rig tomorrow) too.

Fun is what it's all about.


I've always wanted to enter with my Garand or AK-74 ( 5.45mm)

it's been years since I shot a 3-gun match,  but here's my setup....

It was fun. Of course with 5 rounds I had to reload and on some stages most of the guys didn't.

Could you use it with an arm brace in 3 gun?

So...now that you had the fun of using that SG in a match, are you still using it?

No, between 3 gun, uspsa, work, and my son born in Sept I think that was my last 3 gun of the season. I tend to pick uspsa if I have a choice between the 2.
