We're trying out a new type of shotgun match. Similar to IPSC shotgun, but designed to be far more accessible and relevant to the "tactical" shotguns that the average Canadian owns. Info below:
What is the Dynamic Shotgun Challenge (DSC)?
The DSC is a practical shooting sport designed to be a more accessible and efficient alternative to IPSC shotgun. Stages are smaller, require minimal movement, and do not require specialized gear or shotguns. With a maximum round count of 6 per stage, all that is required for you to participate is a shotgun with a capacity of at least 5+1 capacity. Short-barreled (18.5" and under) shotguns with or without interchangeable chokes are competitive in this sport. Black Badge is NOT required!
Intended to test real-world practical use of shotguns, DSC is shot exclusively with buckshot and slugs at distances between 10-25m on USPSA targets. Hit factor scoring is used. The sport will challenge your ability to deploy your shotgun from low-ready or by retrieving it before shooting, test your marksmanship at speed, knowledge of your buckshot shot pattern and slug zero, transitions, different shooting positions and fast manipulations. While reloading is permitted, it is never required in DSC level 1 matches.
This sport is intended for you to become more proficient with your shotgun. There are only two divisions, Semi-Auto and Manual, with each division having no restrictions on modifications including but not limited to;
- Aftermarket iron or optical sights
- Aftermarket magazine tubes
- Aftermarket triggers
- Aftermarket bolts
- Aftermarket lifters
- Heat shields
- Barrel porting / muzzle brakes
- Slings
- Aftermarket stocks or handguards
- Side saddles or ammo cards
- Port opening modifications
Stages are posted in the match documents. Any buckshot or slug ammunition that is permitted at BTSA is allowed. All shots will be on paper. All safety rules and range commands will defer to the IPSC rulebook.
