I believe the BGRC Howdah's competition allows or has separate categories for smooth bore and rifled howdahs. Maybe breech and muzzle loading?

I imagine some guys have made up shortened shotguns as a howdah.

Minimum calibre is .38. Perhaps the maximum calibe as well? Seeing .38 is often the maximum calibre size legally anyway. Bit of a letdown for a howdah though.

I wonder if a cutdown 12 gauge is legal in Australia? Anyone doing it? BTW does anyone actually shoot the BGRC Howdah competition? In SA I know the police claim greater than .38 is only justified for knocking down metal silhouette. Perhaps a full sized silhouette could be used?!

Interested in answers to the above. Plus any comments, plans, ideas you have for or on howdahs. Or what you have actually bought or done or used.
