For all you shooting buffs, here's what's on the radar for the
very near future....tactical 3-gun matches. Here's how it
goes.....you show up with a pistol, a rifle and a shotgun and
expect to shoot a minimum of 7 stages that will require either one
of the firearms OR a combination of two (usually a pistol and a
rifle or shotgun).
Unfortunately, these matches only take place in the US. The last
time I was at the Singapore Shooting Center (?), there were a bunch
of long time IPSC shooters who had just acquired some new Remington
11-87 shotguns. I kinda expected them to start something similar
but I guess it ain't happening.
FYI, for all of you who are considering or have been thinking about
taking up sport shooting, the quick answer is, yes,
permits/licenses are issued for such firearms to be kept at the
clubhouse. How, what and where? Best you ask around. It would
appear (from my last visit), that there are monthly matches being
conducted.
Anyway, here's a peek at two stages. The first vid is Stage 4,
shotgun with 17 falling steel targets.

The next one is Stage 6, a pistol and rifle carbine combo. At the
buzzer, fire 2 rounds into paper target, then steel, then another 2
rounds on another paper target, followed by yet another steel. Then
you haul ass for 2 more distant steel targets, re-holster and head
for the woods where your carbine is resting against a tree. Mount
the carbine and find those 7 partially camouflaged targets with 2
shots on each. Sounds like fun 
You
bet.
