Could someone steer me in the right direction on the Birdshot Specifics for this class. I'd like to start stocking up , but I don't know what I need, I have always used Buckshot and Slugs, so that makes me Birdshot Stupid

. I'm looking at the Remington and Federal brand names, nothing is labeled birdshot, so what am I looking for

. Thanks

this might be totally feasible for me... much less travel time than going up to LMI... just don't like the idea of taking my shotty over state lines.

Most guys in the last shotgun class went to walmart and bought either Federal, Remington, or Winchester 1 1/8oz #7.5 or #8 birdshot. Last I checked, you could buy a 4 box case (100rds) for ~$20-22. These are inexpensive low brass target loads.

Most of the manipulation drills will be on steel targets, and perfect for birdshot and buck (not slugs). You will be using various paper targets for the slug select drills.

I used the Winchester loads in my Benelli with 0 problems. A lot of guys had malfunctions in their pumpguns when we did a lot of shooting and their guns got hot, ie sticky extraction, mostly. It would be a good idea to test your shotgun by firing a bunch of ammo through it in a short period of time. If you gun runs OK, stock up on that ammo.

Just keep ammo and shotgun in seperate locked containers as far away from you (trunk or if pick-up behind the seat) and come directly to the club, do not pass go, do not collect $200 dollars.

Don't speed and you will be alright.

Make sure the shotgun is "Jersey Legal" meaning;

1) A semi-automatic cannot have a pistol grip or be able to hold more that 6 rounds.

2) Magazined semi-shotguns can only hold 5 rounds total in mag and no pistol grip.

3) Pumps can hold more that 6 rounds and CAN have a pistol grip, bayonet lug, etc.

Any questions drop me a line.

I look forward to seeing you. You will have a good time and learn a lot.

I find myself without a shotgun at the moment, and was thinking of getting one for the course, but have decided to borrow my brother's Mossberg. That way I can learn what I want/need before getting something for here. Chris' courses are a great way to see what really works for you in guns and gear.

OK add me to the list. After getting trounced at my last shotgun match it's time for some real training.

There is an excellent book that I picked up at the last gun show in Valley Forge, it is by Gabriel Suarez titled " The Tactical Shotgun ", some good pointers in the book, also some surprising facts. The ISBN is 0-87364-898-6 Copyright 1996, published by Paladin Press.

I'll bring both of my Remington 870Ps. One is simple and trouble-free. The other is techno-overkill. One guess on which would be better in a self defense situation.

I'd like to attend, but have a question on the gun setup. I have a mossberg 500A with a tactical pistol grip buttstock. With this setup on the Mossy, one cannot readily manipulate the tang mounted safety. How much of an issue and/or liability would this be for the course??

Thanks.

EAT: Is it absolutely necessary to have a sling for this too? And if so, can anyone recommend a decent one fairly cheap for a 500?

JQ - your mossy should be fine for the course

A sling is not necessary, you will do just fine without one.

No, thundar was a fish (clown trigger) I had that ate goldfish. But that Thundarr clip is, wow, old.

And, wait, hey, is that the Zombie Flanders? I mean Joel? Wow, long time no hear from. Nice to see you have some time for your shooting buddies. Will we see you next Sunday? The correct answer is YES.

Unfortunately it looks like my weekend schedule and SJSC weekend events are in conflict for the next month or so. I will be around on the weekend of the 21st and 22nd if anyone wants to go to the Valley Forge gun show though

Edited to get back on topic a little, there are a few pics and some discussions of the last MDTS class at Buckeye over at The Rally Point if any attendees want to chime in.
