The matches in my area don't usually paint between shooters but we do when our squad changes stages. We also have a standing rule that if anyone feels like they want the targets painted before their turn, then they can request it. No sweat. That sounds like the best solution

In most cases I would say it is worth it to try and salvage the string. I would be upset with myself if I gave up on the 2nd string and got 30 seconds for a malfunction that I could have cleared in 5-8 seconds, then on the 4th string run dry because I was all flustered about the 2nd string. Now I have two 30 seconds runs and one of them counts. I would much rather clear the malfunction or reload on the 2nd string, take my ~10 second time and call it a learning opportunity. Now, ask me that on the 5th string when I rocked 1-4 and I might just take the 30 and avoid looking goofy fumbling with my gun and mags.

Thank you for the insight Hoops. I took a look at the satellite view and it looks like there will be some shade, but no seating. I like the idea of just picking up a cart at Academy. That turns out cheaper than another checked bag.

I've been looking for info on this specifically. Thank you!

For those who have been to this range before... I'm planning on attending the A4 SC match and I will be flying in so my equipment will be limited. Are the stages far apart from each other? I usually have a cart to carry gear, but that would be an extra checked luggage. Is there shade or seating at each stage while you are waiting for your turn to shoot?
