Shooter Grrl Posted May 31, 2005 Share Posted May 31, 2005 Here's my submission - I also just sent it off to my CRO Instructor as the last part of my final! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ima45dv8 Posted May 31, 2005 Share Posted May 31, 2005 Kat, I like the idea, but it runs afoul of 1.1.5.3: "Standard Exercises and Classifiers may specify shooting with the strong hand or weak hand unsupported. The specified hand must be used exclusively from the point stipulated for the remainder of the string or stage." You could make it multiple strings, or require something like, "3 on any target freestyle, mandatory reload, 3 on another target freestyle, mandatory reload, 3 on last target Stronghand only/Weakhand only." I like the idea of using something other than 2 per target. ...Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Heiter Posted May 31, 2005 Share Posted May 31, 2005 It might should say "engage only one target freestyle" too. Otherwise there might be some folks out there stacking shots putting 3 on T1, 5 on T2, 2 on T3 freestyle, reload and wing one shot downrange stronghand, reload and wing another weakhand.

Shooter Grrl Posted May 31, 2005 Author Share Posted May 31, 2005 It's illegal - back to the drawing board I go! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skywalker Posted May 31, 2005 Share Posted May 31, 2005 Kath, don't know about USPSA, but basically (in IPSC) if you're going to mandate something (reload, strong hand, weak hand, etc.) it has to be a Standard Exercise, with Virginia Count method (single or multiple strings at your choice).

Ray_Z Posted May 31, 2005 Share Posted May 31, 2005 It's illegal - back to the drawing board I go! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> How 'bout using my favorite way to legalize an old stage, add shooting boxes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shooter Grrl Posted May 31, 2005 Author Share Posted May 31, 2005 Ray - it's illegal because I mandated strong hand, but didn't end the shooting there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRT Driver Posted May 31, 2005 Share Posted May 31, 2005 SG, Why not make it two strings? Freestyle first, then strong hand. Second string, freestyle then weak hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray_Z Posted May 31, 2005 Share Posted May 31, 2005 Ray - it's illegal because I mandated strong hand, but didn't end the shooting there <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yeah, then staging the thing is an answer. There are a lot of good designs that the new book snafued. They just need to be tweeked a little to work again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flexmoney Posted May 31, 2005 Share Posted May 31, 2005 - 10 rounds from one shooting position ? (1.2.1.x) - Switch from strong to weak in a string/stage (1.1.5.3) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ima45dv8 Posted May 31, 2005 Share Posted May 31, 2005 - 10 rounds from one shooting position ? (1.2.1.x) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Since it looks like a Standard Exercise, wouldn't 1.2.2.1 give an exception? If shot in 2 strings it could require up to 24 rounds (ala SRT's suggestion). "Freestyle first, then strong hand. Second string, freestyle then weak hand." That would work. It would also make it a 120 point stage. I don't think the sand-baggers we hear so much about would be too inclined to deliberately toss a stage worth that many points. ...Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flexmoney Posted May 31, 2005 Share Posted May 31, 2005 Since it looks like a Standard Exercise, wouldn't 1.2.2.1 give an exception? A standard exercise is (by definition) a stage that has more than one string. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shooter Grrl Posted May 31, 2005 Author Share Posted May 31, 2005 Classifiers don't have to be standard exercises. I personally don't like strings - but I think I'm going to make this one timed fire, with freestyle, reload, freestyle, reload, strong hand. With the mandatory reloads, I'm okay making it 10 from one position, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRT Driver Posted May 31, 2005 Share Posted May 31, 2005 SG, Awe... don't do that!!! I hate string fire too, but it's not the same stage without weak hand. Timed fire changes the whole dynamic of the stage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ima45dv8 Posted May 31, 2005 Share Posted May 31, 2005 Right. They don't have to be standards. Personally, I vote for one string (I hate that new rule about resetting between strings). Plus, multiple starts slow a stage down. But then I'm not too wild about fixed-time, either. You could do freestyle, reload, freestyle, reload, strong hand, or freestyle, reload, freestyle, reload, weak hand and be legal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ummm...it is NOT a standard...there is not more than one string. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Ummm...you're right (this is what I get for typing here while working ). I just reread the whole thread and don't know where I got the idea Kathy was going to make it 2 strings (I'm hoping she doesn't). And no, I haven't been drinking. Thanks, Flex.

But then I'm not too wild about fixed-time, either. . <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Hmmm, in my limited experience, we can clear a multi-string classifier in the same amount of time as a field course ---- and we want that, so every squad rotates at roughly the same time..... As far as scoring between strings, we set dual arrays for those...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
