    Fun drill. I've found my short coming on this and other similar drills are the transitions.

    As a training drill looks interesting, but I thought the whole point of a shotgun was you only had to place one solid hit on a target.
    Likes pretty much everything in every caliber.

    I was told one shot would take out all 3 targets.

    I posted this rather hurriedly this morning. Re-reading the article, it didn't specify a distance from shooter to targets, just the distance between targets. IIRC, the traditional shooter-target distance is ten yards. That wouldn't work too well with birdshot through a cylinder-bore barrel. What would you guys suggest? I was thinking seven yards; that should keep a well-aimed shot inside the -0 of an IDPA practice target, which is what I have on hand.

    I would put the three targets at 20, 15 and 7 yards to simulate a grizzly attack, and use Brenneke slugs!

    Ouch! 9 rounds of Brenneke slugs in 10 sec sounds quite unpleasant.

    With my 870, ouch would be right! Though push-pull helps a bunch.

    Compared to a drill with a Scandium 329 with Garrett Defender ammo, the slugs would be considered pleasant.
