Opening Day,

Ask the board or whom ever it was involved with making the rules.

Ok I am asking to whom ever it may concern: Why ?

So you can use a gauge reducing device to take a 12 to a 16 for example but must shoot the gun in the 12ga event which is fine but I would ask why? If you want a 16ga load say 7/8th's just reduce your 12ga load accordingly. Simpler and less expensive than buying gauge mates or sub gauge tubes.

COB,

you are correct about reducing load, but what about the guy who has a very pitted barrel and for his own peace of mind wants to use a tube set to allow him to shoot the gun.
There are many reasons. Some we will understand some we may not.

These events should not be about trying to exclude shooters but about encouraging all who want to participate and getting them out there.

I recommend concerns /questions be directed to the shoot directors.

David, both Rich and I participated until last year, so I still ask why ? Heavy modified guns are ok, but not Repros, makes no sense. In previous years I have talked to guys that only had a Repro and wanted to shoot, but couldn't
