BigBets Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 what does one of the racks usually go for if built locally? Do the plates attach via the same method as a texas star. These things look FUN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spanky Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 (edited) what does one of the racks usually go for if built locally? Do the plates attach via the same method as a texas star. These things look FUN Our club paid right at 1600 shipped for the PPR from north salt lake welding. the attachment system is similar to the one that MGM uses on their stars if I remember correctly. Not the same attachment system of the star that's made by Terry Ashton. Edited March 24, 2011 by spanky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary J Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 Wow that is strange the Polish plate rack. That would send you for a loop the first time you saw it. They need that on Top Shot!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3gunfun Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 Glad my club can't afford it. Two Texas Stars on one stage is bad enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After spending ALL day fighting with a poorly balanced plate rack at Space City, I think the sliding weight balance system on the rack Spanky refers to is most definitly the way to go.

scarecrow Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 At Tuesday night Steel (Rio Salado az) they had a swinging plate rack? (4 plates up 4 down) Has anyone seen one of these before? I was fortunate enough to make my hits, but i saw a lot of people who had a hard time. (they put a texas star on the next stage hidden by 2 barrels so you could only shoot at one side just to make it fun) I asked a few seasoned shoots about the rack. No one had ever seen one before? I talked with a GM on an approach to shoot it. He told me to start from the downward canted side (in our case left to right) and take the bottom targets from the right to left. It seemed to work, but the rack went vertical on me, so I went from left to right to vertical top to bottom. Only shot one a few times at the proam last year but thats how most of the shooters shot it. Started on either the top or the bottom and then switched. If you are fast enough the rack hardly moves. Check out the proam vids of blake and bob vogel last year pretty cool stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lawboy Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 Here I am last weekend attacking one. Ignore that foot fault at the start of the stage... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bernstein77 Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 Shot a PPR for the first time yesterday. It ate my lunch but it was definitely an interesting challenge. I remember when I saw the Texas star the same way. I will be more prepared the next time I see one, and I am sure I will see it a lot now that my club has one.

Nimitz Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 At our local match tomorrow we decided to see how good some of our fast shooters are. We put out a PPP at the end of a stage but covered half of it with barrels so you can only see one side. This way it's going to be spinning for everyone no matter how fast you can shoot it .... Should be be quite entertaining to watch .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nimitz Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 That's what happens when someone tells the match director that the PPP is getting too easy to shoot ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
remoandiris Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 It still wasn't hard depending on your timing and how you shot the stage. With 2 paper available from either side, the plates could disappear allowing opportunity to engage the paper and be back in position for the remaining 4 plates without sacrificing much time. My timing didn't work out, but plenty of other people's timing did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike l m Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 If you are ever in San Antiono Tx, the club Alpha Mike has one of these Polish Plate Racks. Alot of fun, but very bullet hugury. Thanks, Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nimitz Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 They are actually not very hard to shoot as long as you don't miss once you knock down the first plate. You don't have to be very fast (I'm certainly not) but if you start missing plates and take 2-3 secs to get your next one you will start having trouble. Of course if you are fast you can clear the rack without it ever moving ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul-the new guy Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 even if you are slow, the PPR is very easy to shoot. it is very predictable... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
