JorDanO Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 All those stages look like a lot of fun. Good luck paring them down to 12. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pskys2 Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 Hoping to make it. I'd vote off in the following order: Stage A Few Rounds, mundane tasks if added as a 2nd course could be a stage block. Stage P Memory course with little variation. Stage J Being cuffed to wires looks like a stage block. Stage F With Gun and Ammo on different Barrels looks like a stage block. Stage O With Ammo spread out on different Barrels looks like another stage block. The last 3 would be fun and interesting but it would seem to be hard on the R.O.'s. They'd have to keep up on us gamey guys and not let things lag. All the courses look fun though. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shootingchef Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 On stage J, what purpose would it serve to ask a shooter to shoot strong hand, on the move, or low crawl, as I would have to bend way over to get down to 3 feet? my choices would be: K,L,M,N,O,P,B,D,F,G,H, thanks for asking!

Wideload Posted April 25, 2010 Share Posted April 25, 2010 Stages A and B -- Unless you need them to manage traffic, neither one does much for me. Stage J -- "Cuffing" and "uncuffing" each shooters may slow down the stage overall to create a bottleneck. It will be even worse with a low cap (ie single stack/revo) shooters. Like all the others... Especially Stages C and E Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JThompson Posted April 25, 2010 Share Posted April 25, 2010 I got to about half of them and stopped... it takes to long to view them. Could you zip them up and hit us with a link so we can get them all in one shot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jtwilliams Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 I don't like J. Don't care much for C. But I'm looking at them from a revolver shooters point of view. All the others are great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pskys2 Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 Actually on J if you had a rope pulley, or something, to grab onto that was attache to the wire and not be cuffed to it might be the way to go. I saw a video of a Nationals, World or some other big shoot that had a similar contraption and it didn't look that bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually the WSB says connected...I never said cuffed...if we use it, you will have to come to the match to see how you are really "connected" Sherwyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pskys2 Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 If a tour of Hornady is available on Saturday AM, I'd probably have 4 of us who might go. Won't make a Friday tour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
