We live near these woods where people hunt. The woods are filled with wildlife like foul and pheasant which people like to hunt. One of my friends decided that a shotgun fight would be a great way to ring in the new year. Just like you I'm sure, I was a bit confused on what this was, so here's how it was described to me: you fill your shotgun with some kind of rock salt and shoot each other. Any other slugs or shells are not allowed as they could kill or blow a limbs clean off your body. I'm told the only real damage the rock salt blast can cause is if you get blasted point blank in the face you could lose an eye or get some salt in your throat. We've decided that safety glasses would be a decent idea. Additional rule: No shooting someone else in the face if the gun is closer than 2 feet away. Everyone is in agreement that they don't want red skin for new years so that's the reason for that rule. So what do you guys think? Any feedback on others who have had a shotgun fight in the past?
I would definitely get a flack jacket and some shin guards. Also a good smoke bomb might work for a clean getaway.

Its only sporting if youre wearing boxers and protective glasses...otherwise its just poser-ish. I recommend camo or zebra striped boxers for best hiding ability.
You'll shoot your eye out, kid.
I hope someone substitutes their rock salt with real shells when their gun is fired upon you.

What, I can't be an ass on the forums unless I use the symbol. I'm tired of these horrible topics this troll keeps producing, so yeah I'll take anything to shut him up.

braincrusher is one of the great educators of our time. I usually have to Google something from his post and I learn something new. Like this time I googled rock salt shotgun and this is what i learned:
Lessons learned: 1. At 20 yards, you might scare a dog or some other animal, but you sure wouldn't break the skin. 2. At 10 yards, you might break the skin with a couple of grains, but nothing very serious. 3. At 12 feet, you might get the desired effect, if the desired effect is to "burn" the target with the rock salt. 4. At 4 feet, you might cause a wound requiring a visit to a hospital for a human, or maybe death to a small animal. 5. Movie plots that show someone "burning" a bad guy at across-the-yard distances are hogwash. 6. Rock salt makes a pitiful personal defense load, as if we didn't already know that.

It seems like a decent enough topic and I enjoyed reading about crazy american new years customs. Can't see how asking an opinion on shotgun fighting is 'trolling'. On the plus side, at least you won't be hunting the defenseless animals and going after the only game worth hunting: man.
sounds pretty awesome... if you've never fired one before a shotgun is about the easiest thing in the world to hit a target with but they kick like a *** when you fire them so just make sure you don't break a collarbone or knock yourself out and you should be fine.
