Ontarget Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RePete Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 I use Trident. https://tridentstagedesigner.com/ I pay $10 per year for access to the design plans. Worth every penny to me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If people put them out there, they should expect others will use them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RePete Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chrisyoung Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Barcode1337 Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 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.

Zincwarrior Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
