How about our controversial 10/12 being shot in the 12 ga event.

Is that an issue?

There is a some interesting info about this conversion written by Cyril Adams from Texas.
He is one very involved with "Vintage Guns".

I am in no way offended by any ones comments and in no way am trying to offend any one else.

I am just trying to get a feel for what is out there.

Gee, I guess not as long as I may use a 10 gauge with 12 gauge adapters in the same shoot. Heck I'll even use a little gum to stick the adapters in the chambers.

Rules get confusing if they are not clear to the most casual of observers.

There are some excellent competitive shooters in our vintage SXS world. It seems most of them shoot heavy, long barreled 12 ga guns . I greatly respect and admire these shooters and enjoy watching them break targets. I do not necessarily want to shoot against them in sub gage events by allowing them to temporarily insert a "gage mate" in their 12 gage and have an unfair advantage . This is an amateur sport and I do not want to see it dominated by the pros. I have a good friend that is deadly with his long barreled 12, but I can kick his ass in 20ga and 28ga and greatly enjoy doing so! The light small gage guns are a different game and I want to keep it that way. JMHO
