Ontarget Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 Is there a best way to shoot a Polish Plate Rack? Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edwards30 Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 From what I have learned the "best" strategy is dependent on how quick you can physically shoot it. I am not especially quick on regular plate racks so I start in the middle and work out to avoid much movement. Other people who are much faster in open and pcc just go straight across and the plate rack doesn't move much before they are done assuming they connect on their hits.

NMBOpen Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 Keep it balanced. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 I try for 2-3 then 4-1 on top, then 6 -7 followed by 8-5. No pause between plates or plate pairs or you'll allow rotation to start. Then when the end weights fall off it gets real interesting. Was at a match where the evil stage designer put a stomp pad under the falling weights to activate still more targets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeBurgess Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 If your reasonable fast 12348765. they move pretty slow and it will start tilting but if you just keep going its not as bad as you think its going to be. targets like this are really more of a mental challenge than a shooting one, don't let it get in your head and just shoot the plates, aim at them don't panic don't rush just shoot them one after another, aiming does not actually take any longer, it just feels like it does, missing fast may feel quick but it is actually much much slower Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After watching a few shooters, I adopted an inside-out sort of approach so as to unbalance it as little as possible. It worked and I cleared it with the minimum number of shots, but I saw shooters just spraying and chasing it and clearing it faster than I did.

NMBOpen Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 A series of pairs to preserve balance: Upper 2-3, 4-1, then bottom 2-3, 4-1. (Or 3-2, 1-4 if you prefer.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shred Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 That's for normal mortals and works well. At the Pan Am Shootoffs, the order was 1234-8765 for most shooters (1-2-3-4 are the top plates, 5-6-7-8 the bottom ones with 5 at the 1 end). Adapt and overcome it going vertical on you. Then Nils crushed everyone with 1-5, 2-6, 3-7, 4-8. Said the transitions were shorter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try to time it on a double tap lol Edited January 9, 2023 by Pmatte1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hre321 Posted February 8, 2023 Share Posted February 8, 2023 What seemed to work for me and my squad was to shoot it in the order of 1-4-2-3, 1-4-2-3 sequence (Outside-outside, inside-inside) to keep it from swinging as much as possible. Didn't really seem to matter if you started on the top row or bottom row. Woe to you if it swung enough so that one of the side weights fell off. At that point you're best bet is to catch a plate when it reached the apex of a swing and hope for the best. Final consensus was you either liked it or you hated it, depending on how you did. I've since shot it at local matchs, and have crashed and burned as many times as I've cleaned it. So I alternate between liking it and disliking it.

Muricanwerewolf Posted October 11, 2023 Share Posted October 11, 2023 All the times I shoot one there's an activator and weight to get it spinning. So I shoot the activator and then start shooting the other side so the rack stops spinning quick and stays vertical. If you're lucky one of the falling plates hits one below it for a 2-fer.

42ATK Posted October 11, 2023 Share Posted October 11, 2023 I’ve shot it two ways and am gonna try it a 3rd way, for when it’s not on an activator plate (flat with weights on sides) 1234 5678 Shoot it - 67/23/14/58 or - 1234-8765 my buddy recent shot it 15/26/37/48 and it worked really smoothly and I wanna try it. My issue is I always seem to miss a plate. Here are some vids of me shooting it 1234/8765 2 makeups 2 makeups 2 makeups (tried bottom row first) 2 makeups so really I miss a lot LOL but I think 1234/8765 is fastest of the two ways I’ve tired but definitely curious how 15/26/37/48 works and I’ll do that next time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
