I had never heard of it until a year ago. I was happy until then.
Practical Shotgun is just so far removed from anything that I want to do with a shotgun .
It might be called “ practical “ but I can’t see one real practical purpose in everyday life for a civilian . I suppose it just exists for its own sake, as a replacement to the various “ combat pistol “ disciplines that disappeared after the pistol ban .

A game for wannabe Rambo's!
I watched the video that MartinJ linked .
Two things made me smile ,
1) the presenter’s Tee shirt , how to be taken seriously , wear a Confederate flag , perhaps he drives to the shoot in an orange Dodge Charger !
2) The casual comments about getting hit by ( presumably ) ricochets , and it not hurting because it’s only #6 “ bird shot “ .... great in theory until it does hurt
You do have to wonder what a crackers licensing system we have when someone can’t own a .22 Olympic Target pistol , but Luke Duke Junior can get an 11 shot repeating shotgun .

I had to smile when I saw the confederate flag tee shirt too, and it's not surprising about ricochets with those rubber tyres all over the place.
If it’s the video I’ve seen the thing that made me smile was his gun falling apart at the end!
Can’t see what’s not to like about running about blasting metal targets with a pump tho it looks fun to me.

Not that I’ve had much opportunity , but I’ve made it a rule never to go near a canoe , or a felled tree trunk , since I saw that film ....

Any time you hear a banjo you best beat feet
Clearly you are unaware of the impending zombie apocalypse! We all know that Western Civilization - and the US in particular - is under attack by a multitude of enemies and preparedness is your personal duty to save the world
That I can understand . A few years back I spent an afternoon at the Dallas and Fort Worth Gun Club . Indeed Zombie targets were liberally interspaces with the charging terrorist targets . Plenty of lead was sprayed , I felt quite lonely single actioning .38 wad cutters at a Bulls Eye target !
Never even felt the urge to possess a pump action shotgun, since I retired.
Maybe you picked the wrong club, when you let off the stink bomb ?It’s like I let a stink bomb off in a gentleman’s club
