Indoor Range - Need Stage Designs for the Winter

[BillChunn]

Our monthly match has moved indoors and it would be nice if the collective hive could come up with a few stage designs. The range is only 50 feet wide by 70 feet deep and all rounds must go directly downrange into the rubber impact area.

We have tried numerous methods over the past 20 years and found that "squadding by appointment" was the best way to go. The club members that help build the stages and volunteer to RO at the Sunday match will shoot on Saturday afternoon once the match setup has been completed. The Sunday squad sizes are limited to 9 shooters so they can get through the match in 90 minutes, resulting in 4 sets of squads. The appointment times are 7:00 AM, 8:30 AM, 10:00 AM and 12:30 PM. Squad reservations are done via e-mail when registration opens.

What we normally try and do is have four stages for the indoor match. The first is usually a speed shoot that we put near the rubber impact area and do that stage by moving a couple of targets from one other stage out of the way. Everyone on that squad will shoot the stage then it is set aside so the other three stages can run. Those three stages are strung across the range with (again) all rounds going fairly straight downrange. The other alternative we have used is to combine the three stages into a big field course, but that takes much more time to paste and reset, pushing the limts of the 90 minute "turn around" time.

We have a door, numerous 8' walls, 3 barricades, Cooper Tunnel components and can bring in a barrel or two. Very limited on steel poppers as they have to have a "dog house" built around them to contain the shrapnel. Anchoring moving targets is difficult as it's a concrete floor and we have little or nothing to put on the prop bases, but it can be done.

So have at it. Any and all stages will be greatly appreciated!!

Thanks,

BC

Contact Randy Arrowood (aka Fayette Flash.) They've held an indoor match every week for years. I'm sure he has notebooks full of stages that would meet your requirements.

Take eight ( 8 ) targets cut them in half the long way,paint one side red,one side green,draw color at make ready to see which color you shoot.should be 16 rounds,I bet you some one will shoot the wrong color!,

We've done this but he put X or O on them with spray paint. Make-ready you are holding the clipboard so you can't see the paper on it. At the beep turn it over and shoot the targets opposite of what is on the piece of paper.
