[ARCHIVED THREAD] - 2nd Annual Tactical Shotgun Championship July 28 & 29 at Del-Tone/Luth Gun Range, St. Cloud, Mn

Posted: 3/8/2012 1:03:46 AM EDT

From the Match Director Ken Andersen...

"I just got the word today from Randy Luth, owner of the Del-Tone/Luth Gun Range, that they will be able to host the 2nd annual Tactical Shotgun Championships at their range on the 28th and 29th of July, 2012.
Mark your calendar! Last years match may have been small, but it received great reviews from the competitors and 3-Gun Nation.
3 Divisions; Open, Tactical and Pump, just like last year.

Like I said, we just got approval today so the applications and more information will follow as soon as we hammer out the details.

Oh, Yeah. The Charcoal stage will be back. Start Practicing!

Returning Range Master: Bob Mills

A great shotgun match, ran AHEAD of schedule. So far ahead we shot 7 stages by 3 PM. Went back the second day for one stage, results were posted timely and was able to get on the road several hours earlier than expected. Plus, if you have any shotgun problems, you have the Nordic guys on hand with plenty of remedies. A great match for the money no question about it.

Some match video from last year:

I'll be there, St. Cloud is only about 2 hrs from my place. Actually there are three of us from Morris, MN (small town located 8 miles from nowhere) going.

Not sure what the turnout was last year, but going off the way the local 3-gun matches are booming in MN I would guess it will be much larger (at least as far a local participation goes). The club match last weekend had 73 shooters on a cold and rainy day over a holiday weekend.

It was a great squad. I enjoyed shooting with Jesse again since I had not done since the Pan Am.

I talked to Ken at Nordic about this match, sounds like they will have between 8-10 awesome stages again this year and will be featuring the unforgettable charcoal stage.

Whats funny is, that is a stage everyone and practice before hand... but I wonder how many people actually will... ;)

I have been watching Patrick Flannagan shoot 8 clays from the hip with one toss in Hot Shots. I'm gonna be trying that this year for sure.

Some sort of hotel. Haven't looked at which one yet though. We stayed at a Hampton inn or Hilton garden inn last year and it was really nice but not in the cheap side.

I remember seeing last year's videos for this. It looked like an awesome match. Have fun, can't wait to see the videos.

Maybe somebody will do something like this in the southeast eventually.

Does anyone know the round count and if there will be stages that require slugs?

Last year we shot 9 stages with an average of around 15 rounds per stage. The tenth stage was all slugs and was something like 12-16 rounds.

Rumors after the match past year was more stages but I haven't heard actually yet.

Here is a link to the match Facebook page.

Tactical Shotgun Championship

I asked about stages and round counts and was told at least ten stages and bring 20 each of slugs and buckshot.

Here is some late video of 9 of the stages.
