I haven't shot in a match before, but at least with some of the sports I sort of know what is up. Here is a compendium of my unanswered questions:
In what sort of sport would you shoot an AR-15 race gun? At first I thought "race gun" just meant something more or less like an M4, and it would be good for 3-gun Practical shooting, but I don't think anyone would want a 16-pound gun for that. And it's can't possibly be CMP legal! So there must be some sport I've never heard of.
Are there any sports that .223 Rem pistols are good for? Or even allowed in? I was thinking maybe silhouette, but that's a guess. How about IPSC Unlimited? (If not match shooting, I guess .223-caliber pistols are mainly varmint hunting rigs...?)
What sport are those wonderful Unique autoloaders in .32 S&W Long intended for? Same one the old S&W autoloaders in .38 Special competed in?
What sort of .410-caliber shotgun would one use in a three-gauge skeet match? I gather that skeet guns are almost always semi-automatic or double-barrelled because of the time two clay pigeons are in the air at the same time, but I don't see too many .410s in those configurations and I don't think I've ever seen one with Skeet in the model name.
Is there any sport that accommodates defensive-style pistols in less than 9x19mm? Like Practical with a Very Minor power factor?
