9x45 Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 For USPSA, they are scored as 2 plates, which just happen to be attached to each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I shot a USPSA pistol match where they required you to actually spin it. They limited shots to 10 total. Stage was all steel, no paper, which I believe is not USPSA legal. They also had a stage with a required engagement order, which is also not within USPSA rules (had to shoot all the paper on one side of the course of fire before engaging the final two target. Failure to do so was a penalty). Some clubs play fast and loose with stage design. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motosapiens Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 spinners are not legal for uspsa matches, which is good because they are stupid. Fun for practice tho, and we see them in outlaw matches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Failure to do so was a penalty). Some clubs play fast and loose with stage design. Level one matches have some leeway in requiring engagement from different positions. The spinner is not a legal USPSA target unless you can get it to either "fall" or "overturn" with one shot. If you translate "overturn" as a 360 degree rotation, you have to be able to do it with one hit or it is range equipment failure and you get a reshoot. All steel is OK as long as at least one of the targets is a popper. The rules do not allow limiting rounds for steel targets. Other than that, everything was fine.

There WERE guns involved... and I assume they used a timer!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The spinner was required to do a 360 by using multiple alternating shots top and bottom. Thanks for the clarification on all steel. I was misinformed in that I was told at least one target need to be a scored paper target. Perhaps I misunderstood the RO I asked about this and heard "paper" when he said "popper".

9x45 Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 I thought I saw a thread here earlier where Troy commented on the spinner to the effect of 2 plates attached to each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steel must fall to score, how are you going to make a spinner fall? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
