This past weekend, my gun club - River City - put on a three gun match. Love it. One stage had three hostage setups - Hostage, BG side by side targets at a reasonble distance.so you had about a 12 inch to 18 pattern spread - just a rough guess. The load was 00 buckshot and one had to peel the BG off the hostage.
The concern was obviously not to put the pattern in dear old Mom, the kid, the wife, etc.
Most of us did it quite well. However, I've noticed this before - the hostage took the wad in come or right in the noggin. It blasted clear through the IDPA target (obviously, not flesh). So for those who argue that the shotgun is the ultimate HD GUN!! Independent of racking it (the guaranteed cure all), do you worry about this? That wad could take an eye out!
BTW, those are fun guns to shoot.
