Flexmoney Posted January 28, 2004 Author Share Posted January 28, 2004 Ong posted this in a different thread : It's never too early to start talking about this for the steel freaks. Speed Option, 4-3-1-2-stop Because I would rather shoot the close ones first then focus out to the option plate and stop plate. I think it's faster for me because i don't have to switch gears in the middle of the order. James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBChaffin Posted January 28, 2004 Share Posted January 28, 2004 I'm no steel challenge expert for sure having only shot it once, but I shot it with a pretty good shooter and we agreed on shooting it 4, 3, 1, 2, stop. Seemed the smoothest way and with the best transitions. Not a lot of speeding up and slowing down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Post Posted January 28, 2004 Share Posted January 28, 2004 Since I like to shoot left to right, I shoot 1, 3, 4, 2, then stop plate. When I started shooting I was so slow, I was told I should probably skip the option plate for best time. Then the next time I shot this stage, my mentor said I should take only one shot at it before moving on, now I'll even take two shots at it if I have to George Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shred Posted January 28, 2004 Share Posted January 28, 2004 Switching your eye focus out to the option plate (2) then back in is a loser if you're shooting iron sights and over 16 years old. With a dot it's not such a big deal. In open, I'll usually shoot this 4,3,2,1,stop with an option to go back to 2 if I missed the first time.

AikiDale Posted January 29, 2004 Share Posted January 29, 2004 <dumb question> Option plate? How is this scored with and without plate 2?</dumb question> Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flexmoney Posted January 29, 2004 Author Share Posted January 29, 2004 You have the "option" to shoot that plate or skip it. No penalty for a miss on that plate. If you hit it, subtract 2 seconds from your run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sixgun Posted January 29, 2004 Share Posted January 29, 2004 you're obligated to shoot targets 1,3,4, and stop, to acquire a score. if you also shoot the option plate, 2, you will have 2 seconds deducted from that string time. the choice is yours. You can wind up with some awefully low times just by engaging that "extra" target! Ray C. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warpspeed Posted January 29, 2004 Share Posted January 29, 2004 I think we talked about this before but the only reason that you would not shoot the option plate is if you are down to your last bullet and cannot do a reload in less than 2 seconds.

benos Posted February 11, 2004 Share Posted February 11, 2004 Yea, it's tough to beat 4,3,1,2. Keeping the speed and focal transitions minimal is key. be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErikW Posted May 2, 2005 Share Posted May 2, 2005 Starting this year it's straight time, no "option" deduction. I am one of the freaks of nature who can't shoot #4 first. I get much better times going 3-4-2-1, under 3 seconds as opposed to over 3. I thought this would be limited to iron sights but I have to shoot Open this way, too, because of the draw. The downside is it's a longer swing from 4 to 2 and I ended up missing 2 a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AikiDale Posted May 2, 2005 Share Posted May 2, 2005 No Option? Did they change the name as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErikW Posted May 3, 2005 Share Posted May 3, 2005 You have the option of skipping that plate and having a few penalty seconds added to your time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
