rowdyb Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 So it looks like do the partial targets at 20 yards and weak hand only and do the full targets and strong hand only at 35 yards. Right? As I have a strong feeling I'll be first shooter on this, my squad's first stage, I'm off to practice 35 yard sho and 20 yard who only shooting on partial targets.....

Mikeski Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 It looks like you need to engage both strings from each box. So I plan on doing freestyle on partial targets and then strong hand from 35yrd box and Weak hand from 20 yrs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarge450 Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 Your engaging all 6 targets from both boxes. So most will probably take the full targets as the ones to take strong and weak hand only, not as hard as I thought it was when I first glanced at the stages.

rowdyb Posted March 15, 2017 Author Share Posted March 15, 2017 WSB says "any three targets", mo mention of arrays. After shooting it today, I have a better idea of what I want to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rowdyb Posted March 16, 2017 Author Share Posted March 16, 2017 I'm sorry, my reading and writing ability is a little lacking here. Let me revise..... Here is how I plan to shoot it: String one, from 35 yards. Shoot two rounds freestyle on each hardcover (hc) target. Reload. Shoot two rounds each on the open targets sho. String two, from 20 yards. Two rounds each on the hc targets freestyle, reload, two rounds each on the open targets who. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
race1911 Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 sounds like the winning way most experienced shooters would do it....good luck Rowdy (being first on a tough stage is always rough, good you are practicing it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tanks Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 Amazing the number of good shooters that have zeroed this stage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BritinUSA Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 That's a long way to shoot targets one-handed, of course with a rifle you get to use both hands. I wonder if the light was bad on that stage, not sure where it is located on the range but if the competitor had to face into the sun then it would be almost impossible, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BritinUSA Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 (edited) These look final : https://www.uspsa.org/uspsa-display-match-results-detail.php?indx=20538 Very close between Kaci and Jessie in Open Ladies category, less than 2 points. 13 points between Max and Kim, amazing considering that Max zeroed that 120 point stage (18) Edited March 26, 2017 by BritinUSA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only 3 people out of 71 shot it clean. that is a pretty low percentage (4%). I know we aren't going to agree on this Cha-lee, but in the effort of discussion....Sometimes people need a slap in the face (or kick in the junk). I know we have different ideas of what nationals should be. If I remember correctly, you feel nationals should be the shining example for local matches (I feel that is the role of sectional or maybe area matches). I feel like nationals should find the best shooter at the match. In order to do that part of the test needs to be very mechanically challenging. Ultimately, it's only roughly 5% of the match and it rewarded the people who were able to execute when it mattered. Max zeroed the stage and impressively still won the match. The top 20 scores in Open had nine people shoot it clean, eight people had one penalty, and three people had two penalties. In CO, which appeared to be a much shallower field, the top 20 consisted of 16 people that had two or fewer penalties with the other four people have three penalties. That really doesn't sound that bad to me. Clearly the PCC boys and girls had a massive advantage compared to pistols. Roughly 70/200 pistol shooters zeroed the stage. A lot of people are going to feel this is too many. I think those are acceptable casualty numbers for a single stage at the national championship.
