I still would rather have a combination of the two. I know it's not "logical" but running the same pistol in the side match, that you've already been running all morning is kinda redundant. But then, really, you can run whatever pistol you want in the rifle match, a little gun will just put you at a disadvantage, naturally. So, I guess my vote is still for the rifle match.

last time we ran a BUG side match, we used our standard pistols for the first part of the string, then switched to the BUG gun for the last 5 shots. The reason they don't use a draw in the BUG matches is because most BUG guns aren't carried in normal, safe to draw at a range from, positions. Ankle, appendix, small of back, bra, etc. I voted for shotgun, but will run any side match chosen.

Well, it looks like some more votes need to take place. But maybe Dan1612 is onto something. How about a Shotgun, Rifle, BUG side match? 5 rounds in your shotgun (if you don't have your own, I'm sure some of us would be glad to lend you ours for 5 shots). A la 3 gun style, you'll have to put down the shotgun on a decent rest to ensure nothing happens to your now unloaded shotgun, UN-sling your rifle for 10 shots, mag change, finish that portion and Ooops you ran out of ammo and have to pull out (2nd string-can't draw your BUG. You'll have to start at low ready) and finish the stage with your BUG !!!What do you know? a 3 gun side match. Just sayin' or just kiddin' . . . only my barber knows for sure.
