1911Prof Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 Just shot a unique stage this weekend, it contained a Texas star with the top 2/3 covered by hard cover so you had to shoot the bottom of the star only. Fortunately, you could see through the hard cover so you could time your shots, otherwise this would have been impossible. The time on the stage ran from 9 seconds to 90 seconds (or when people ran out of bullets). It was pure fun to shoot, and even funnier to watch.

ParaGunner Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 Looks fun! Good idea with the hard cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jar Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 That's brutal on the less skilled shooters, but a good run sure is fun to watch. The start position of the star wasn't consistent from shooter to shooter, which changed how it reacted to the first hit pretty significantly.

mrpetey Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 I like the hard cover idea - I may have to try it the next match I setup. I challenged shooters by making the top star a no shoot at our last match I think I got some new nicknames for that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pezco Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 This looks like something we will need to bring to SE Ohio! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XD Niner Posted July 17, 2010 Share Posted July 17, 2010 (edited) How did they get the star to move that way or was it just a very well lubed star? It looks like some kind of eccentric weight system was used because it often rotated faster than I would have expected after the first plate was gone.

Joe4d Posted July 17, 2010 Share Posted July 17, 2010 I counted a minimum of 11 rounds, all fired from a single location, unless I am missing something this isnt a legal stage IAW 1.2.1.2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blaster113 Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 legal or not, that stage looks like a doozy! Holy cow, I can imagine all of the expletives that must have been used Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoSteel Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 I set up similar a few months back. Used only 2 bottom plates. Solid hard cover only allowed 1 to be seen when engaged from behind yet another elongated wall set 2.5ft off the ground. This after having already engaging 3 target arrays of 14 targets.

SteveZ Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 I counted a minimum of 11 rounds, all fired from a single location, unless I am missing something this isnt a legal stage IAW 1.2.1.2 it can be easily "fixed" by declaring it a speed shoot and requiring an order (pp1,pp2, DT1, DT2...reload...). I'm going to set this up for or next club match...looks like fun. 1.2.2.3 “Speed Shoot”-Courses of fire consisting of one continuous string of fire not exceeding 16 rounds shot on one or more arrays of multiple targets from a single location or view. No more than 8 rounds may be required without a mandatory reload and no more than one mandatory reload may be required in the course of fire. Stage may be scored either Comstock or Virginia Count. See Rule 9.2.3.2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimdoe Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 As if the star wasn't challenging enough... Thats exactly what I was thinking. Might have to incorporate that to our local matches and see how it goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
