Daslinger Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 The club I shoot with gives the stages real lame names. I would love to give the stages cool names that really wouldn’t tell you much what you would have to do. Possible USPSA Stage names…… ”SHOOT THE GLASS !” ”DO YOU FEEL LUCKY PUNK ?!” ”REMEMBER THE ALAMO” HE-MAN FIGHTS SKELATOR !” NEWMAN ! HOLD THE PICKLES, HOLD THE LETTUCE” THAT’S A SPECIAL FORCES TATOO ! LUKE I’M YOUR FATHER ! I’LL BE BACK ! IS THAT GRANDMA RUNNING NAKED DOWN THE STREET ?!

That’s even more boring than the actual stage names I shoot. I guess I shouldn’t look a gift horse in the mouth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
outerlimits Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 used to shoot at a club that named stages after hendrix songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robertwil18 Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 Or.....and hear me out here.....focus on the way you need to shoot the stages and your overall match performance versus spending time and cognitive bandwidth on the stupid stage names at a given match... I dont think i've seen anyone go GM by creating "cool" stage names. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would love to give the stages cool names volunteer to design and build some stages. The stage designer at our club can name the stage whatever he wants. I name mine after classic or punk rock songs just because it's easier than thinking up something cool. I'm more concerned that they are good, interesting, legal, fun stages with some decisions to make. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every club I've been involved with or shot at would welcome some new stages. Design some, and volunteer to set them up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
broadside72 Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 For our level 1's the builder/designer names it. For out L2's, we pick a theme and as a group of designers come up with names that fit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have plenty of fun naming my club's L1 stages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daslinger Posted January 27, 2023 Author Share Posted January 27, 2023 (edited) Go ahead make my Sandwich Breakfast ended at 11:00am It’s snot true. It’s snot possible (sorry, just getting it out of my system. Probably not going to be naming stages anytime soon ) Edited January 27, 2023 by Daslinger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HesedTech Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 (edited) Wow, people getting bored enough to discuss stage names. While the whole USPSA competition does make people far better shooters than the average Joe (or Sally), it is still a game. Hey, I've been thinking about calling a stage "Shoots and Ladders." Oh I do like "Breakfast ended at 11:00am" and maybe add, "and I'm hungry again." Edited January 27, 2023 by HesedTech Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandflea316 Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 Than volunteer to be a Match Director and give the current MDs a break. Design your own stages and name them anything you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
