Show up at a FITASC tournament pretty much anywhere here in the Midwest, with a 25 inch barreled shotgun, and by about the second cartridge. You’ll wish that you hadn’t.

Now that presumes, that because you paid an entry fee, you care about hitting the targets, and you want to hit all of them.

Walking some woodland trail, or working ones way through an alder run, a short barrel shotgun would certainly hang up less. Would probably be lighter in most cases as well.

To win a FITASC tournament, you have to shoot 90% plus

To have gross for dinner most gunners shoot 20% or less on the flush.

Out there doing it best I can.
