Single-shot shotgun

[jrdudas]

I read on a shotgun forum that single-shot shotguns can be used on certain CAS events; is this true.  The person who authored that post even stated that single-shot shotguns with automatic ejectors were permitted in certain CAS events.  Can anyone shed some light on this subject.  If single-shot shotguns can be used, are guns with automatic ejectors allowed if the ejectors are disabled.

I'm just getting started in CAS shooting and beginning to acquire the necessary hardware.  I have a SxS shotgun that is SASS legal, but I am intrigued by the single-shot mystique.  Single-shot shotguns were certainly used in the Olde West.

Thanks in advance for your responses.

From SASS Shooters Handbook, TENTH EDITION (VERS 10.4), April 2004: "Any side by side or single shot shotgun typical of the period from approximately 1860 until 1899 without automatic ejectors, is allowed."

From NCOWS By Laws: "Various hammerless side-by-side double-barreled or appropriate hammerless or exposed hammer, top-lever break single shot shotguns that retain the characteristics of pre-1899 originals, e.g.: without ventilated ribs, modern recoil pads, white-line spacers, etc."

For SASS the auto-ejectors have to be disabled. I am not sure for NCOWS, though.
