Jim, if your trapdoor will shoot into 2" at 100 yds then it will be competitive. You don't see a lot of trapdoors on the firing line but there are some that shoot them. One thing you will need is a good rear sight, either a tang sight or a Buffington. What ever you use, it need to be repeatable in its settings.
The coarse of firs is not hard, the chicken are shot off hand, and everything else can be shot either setting or laying down. For a standard 40 shot match you will fire 2 strings at each range. First string will be 7 minutes for unlmited sighters and 5 shots for record. Then they reset the targets and you have 5 minutes for 5 shots for record.
All amunition to be loaded with black powder only and lead bullets, no gas checks.
Thats it in a nut shell.
It is a lot of fun.
Sam
