According to ISSF Rule 9.4.2.1
“Semi-Automatics & pump action shotguns are excluded “.
meaning not allowed in ISSF competition.
Just fyi-
They may be allowed at a local competition but not if it’s an ISSF sanctioned event or qualifier.

Ya shoulda tried shooting mixed trap pairs when it first came in. So many rule changes in 4 years, and then-BOOM-the ISSF dumped it from the Olympics and brought in mixed skeet pairs.

It means the Olympic winners from Tokyo will always hold the Olympic record, as well as being the ONLY people to have won it at the Games.

The ISSF drove me mad when trying to keep up with pistol rules. Shotgun ain't much better, but at least they haven't messed much with equipment rules, mainly with "conduct of the event" rules.

Still very annoying.

I am beginning to think they should write the rules on an Etch a Sketch as often as they change them. It does appear they stopped allowing semis in Bunker ( perhaps because so many countries have out right banned them now) Up to a couple of years ago what little bunker trap I shot was with a Remington 1100. Several years back , I shot my way to A class in Bunker with that gun. When I'm old and plagued with health problems now i don't shoot ANY gun well any more but never did shoot an Over /Under very well. I think keeping up with all the ISSF rule changes is enough to drive somebody crazy ! 😐
