[QUOTE="David E, post: 1409393, member: 1013"] There are a couple issues using a second gun for a stage. First is safety: how do you deal with the second gun while going with the second? This past match we used a bolt action .22 that the RO loaded with only one round. Even if the shooter didn't open the bolt, there was no way the gun could've gotten a second shot into the chamber. If the second gun is used last, then what to do with the gun the shooter used to get to that point? I had considered having a padded plastic bin at the last position where the shooter could deposit his gun, pick up the second gun and complete the CoF from there. (no moving away from the first gun) Another issue is ammo. Who gets to buy/donate it? And the last issue is stage run-time. Using two guns slows things down. In fact, I'd originally planned on having the second gun at the last position to help things run a bit faster, but I figured we'd only have 15-20 shooters, so doing it the "inefficient" way wouldn't be that big of a deal. Well, we had 32 shooters and while it didn't run quite as fast, it wasn't a big deal. Another concern is if every shooter can handle the gun used. The pistol grip shotgun may not be a good choice as a result. The standard 870 would, but we'd have to use dove loads. Let me see what I can come up with.......... (yes, we can (and have) make a hallway out of the tarps) [/QUOTE]
