Dan Sierpina Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 Go with Zombies, all upper A/B hits at close range. Did I mention this was a shotgun slug stage? Rob, Just remember how long it takes to patch up all the wad holes in close by no shoots. Also, that shotgun stages tend to be much more of a reloading match than shooting match.

GeorgeInNePa Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 I have designed a stage for an upcoming match, but can give it one of two "flavors". In each case, the shooting required is identical - the only difference is the stage title and some of the decorative props (if we get that fancy).The stage is set in a wally world discount store. The choices are : Night of the living dead - zombies always seem to converge on shopping malls Floodwaters - need I say more here? One is a carnival type stage with no basis in reality; the other is particularly relevant to today's world. Since both offer the same shooting, the only issue is one of presentation. I'm interested in seeing what people think. Zombies. Just remember, all the Docu-dramas and Training tapes that have been produced since the '60's require a head shot to put them down for good. If I can address this from the standpoint of what makes a good, adventurous, entertaining TV series (for me at least). Way out Sci-Fi can be cool and they have their appeal. However, the closer to reality the fiction is the more potential the story has to be thrilling, convincing and thus entertaining. Take the current success of the man soap opera 24 as an example. It is a great feat for a series to make it through the first couple of seasons. I would hazard a guess that it's nearness to reality adds exponentially to it's popularity. Contrast that to one of my favorite 1980's TV miniseries, TV movie and series V that lasted for one season. V was (and is) popular in a narrow niche while 24 casts a much wider net. Contrast that with Battlestar Galactica, one of the best shows on TV now. They are making the 3rd season now. Sci-Fi all the way! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
short_round Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 My bad. I forgot that New Orleans is, or at least was, a major voodoo center in addition to being in a flood plain. ... that was my biggest problem with the Flood scenario. You would have to work in a super dome, broken dykes, people trying to disarm you per the mayors orders, and a Mardi Gras party at the end.

diehli Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 people trying to disarm you per the mayors orders, and a Mardi Gras party at the end. The targets are already brown, so add a collar and some buttons and you got yourself some brown shirts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liota Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 WTF is "Foodwater"? Is that the condensation you get on the inside of a Tupperware container when you're microwaving something? Probably hot pocket spew. I voted for zombies, too. Rob, how about making the heads clay birds. They really explode when you hit them with shot. Pretty cool. No zombie in a movie ever survived that, pun intended. Liota Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kamakiri Posted March 5, 2006 Share Posted March 5, 2006 Zombies all the way, unless you can produce a stage where shooters have to actually negotiate chest-deep waters and reload from beneath the surface. Thank goodness for this thread! I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one who thinks Avery needs to lighten up a bit. I'd like to see him design a year's worth of "realistic" 32 round field courses, to simulate all those times when a lone handgunner tactically charges 16 bad guys head on.

SA Friday Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 And the BIPSC debate lives on (or at least the comments ). Zombies! Come on, is there any doubt? I feel like I'm stuck in a Milwakee's best beer commercial, and I'm waiting for the big can to land on the wuss that says the other title (won't say it, afraid of the can).

Mooney Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 (edited) I would prefer to look at Zombie targets all weekend. Perhaps even some White Zombie music playing? I''ve got a couple of their CDs at home... Edited July 26, 2006 by Mooney Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle J Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 Gonna take a look later but which article in which issue are we talking about that Avery wrote? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
