Online IDPA Stage Designs

[Ontarget]

One of my MD's sent out an email requesting shooters send him ideas for stages for

upcoming matches. I found some posted on the internet, and sent them to

him. I'm wondering now if it considered theft or inappropriate to use stage designs

posted on the internet by idpa clubs?

   Also, where can people go online to find idpa stages that can be used?

Thanks.

I use Trident.

I pay $10 per year for access to the design plans.

 

Worth every penny to me.

If people put them out there, they should expect others will use them.

If people put them out on public or on programs like Trident, they must expect them to be used.  Mine are open plus I have a private file on Trident.

 

Facebook has a Dead Zero page and the stages are published there too.  Some of the stages are very good and some not so.

I also use trident like RePete said the ones that I don't want anyone to see I keep private. When I use a stage from trident i leave the original designer name on it.

I steal pretty much everything (I run USPSA matches). I tend to search up match books from past state/championship matches or I just do a Google Image search for stages. I've found some pretty cool ones, or some good ideas to riff off of.

In addition to all these points: look up USPSA stages as well. They can give you ideas.  Clubs I am at have often adopted USPSA stages with minor tweeks to make things different. Facebook has a USPSA and ISPSC Stage Design Page which has interesting stages that can be excellent fuel for stages.
