I was told ported shotguns were illegal to shoot registered targets with. Is that true? Thanks. Bob.

no

 

[BIGDON]

Can't wait to see what you make up next.

 

[bossbasl]

OP is a true definition of drivel.

If it was, Browning wouldn't sell many XTs or 725s.

Why don't you read the rule book?

Why don't you read the rule book?

I didn't look it up because I am not a trapshooter. I own a Sporting Clays Range and was wanting to know if what a customer who was a trapshooter said was true. Was only asking for help.

 

[Pull & Mark]

Bob!!!---What the heck have you've been smoking??? Did ya get it from Hippie??? Inquiring minds need to know. break em all Jeff

Was only asking for help.

I was only suggesting looking where you would find the answer.

 

[stokinpls]

You could check over on "The Dark Site", they're more "progressive" when it come to rules interpretation.:18: Ask 'em about "three-hole targets".

Ask 'em about "three-hole targets".

They make targets with 3 holes in them ??? No wonder there so dang hard to break !!!!!!

Bob,
Who or should I say what idiot told you that?

You sound pretty gullible. He was likely just have fun with you.

Its All Good.

 

[Bigbob4570]

He was a retired military colonel who I have a great deal of respect for. That is why I asked.

 

[Literalist]

BigBob, the moral in this is to get info on registered shooting from someone who actively shoots registered trap. Clearly, the good colonel doesn't.

My best friend is a retired colonel, too. I'm betting he doesn't know whether ported guns are legal or not in ATA, either.

I wish your sporting course great success! You came to the right place for answers.

 

[arrowdodger]

Whose military?

 

[George MT.]

All edginess aside there are a few logical things to look at in seeking a answer to this question.
1. The ATA rule book is a good place to start for verification and is easy to get a copy or check online. www.shootata.com
2. Take a look at Browning and see how many Citori--XT--725 model trap shotguns they manufacture for the sole purpose of
shooting competitive trap.
3. There are many that do not like porting or see a use for it ect. but porting is a part of shotgun culture and standard on several
brands so I think it is here to stay.
Good luck with your sporting clay range, I think that if you talk to several of your customers that shoot both Trap and Sporting
you will find that they are welcome at the trap ranges.

At one time porting was not allowed in Bunker Trap. Being that is where the military trains, I would think that's what he was referring to.

I'm not sure that is the case now.

At one time porting was not allowed in Bunker Trap.

Any idea why that rule once existed?

 

[Ajax]

No. Maybe if TBaber sees this thread, he will have some in-site?
