Opening Day,
Ask the board or whom ever it was involved with making the rules. |

New Guy here....Why not start with an opinion? Always a sure way to win friends.
 Why would anyone want to do anything that might provide an unfair advantage... i.e. "cheat"? Just to get a damn trophy? C'mon !!!!! Should a vintage auto racer be allowed to install a modern engine and modern brakes and compete against those with 50+ year old technology? WE should do this for the fun and comraderie of the competition. I prefer bragging rights over trophies. Hopefully no one feels the need to win a trophy to have a good time. Hey, don't ask if you don't wanna know.... I hope to make the Southern SxS for the first time this year. Tom Atlanta (Parker AND LC Smith owner) |

Mr McCoy,
I encourage you to come to the Southern. Hek come to both the Fall and the Spring. You will have a grand time. You are correct and will find after spending time with these folks that we are all very enthusiastic and passionate about our Parkers/Smiths/ etc. I know many of the guys who have commented on this thread and I can say that from my experience not a single one of them would knowingly or blatantly cheat or do something against the rules. Please come joins us. Please look for me. You are welcome to check out my guns and give them a go if you would like. |

Hey John,
I am working on making it. I would say the wife is about 75% convinced... of course that included a bribe with a spa somewhere. The biggest hurdle will be that 4 letter word... WORK. I'm sure its a great group, and will be a lot of fun. I couldn't resist throwing my opinion in, and it certainly seems to be the consensus. As you said, I doubt anyone would knowingly cheat, rather, they may not be aware of the "etiquette" of the competition. I will definitely try to locate you, shake your hand, and buy the first cold beer that night. Thanks for the Southern Hospitality!! Tom Atlanta Deo Vindice |

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. |
